Forward with Purpose
Forward with Purpose is dedicated to exploring the principles, strategies, and mindset needed to navigate challenge, uncertainty, and personal growth.
Rooted in philosophy, experience, and self-examination, this personal blog is a quest to find a deeper understanding of our lives and the increasingly complex world around us.
The mission is to become future-proof – evolving by design in order to move forward with purpose.

Who I am
I am a serving British Army Officer with over a decade of experience. Throughout my life, I have gained valuable insights into finding purpose, leadership, international relations, and the development of a strong body and mind.
​
For years, I thought my purpose lay in attaining an objective. It took time to realise that purpose lies within us. Since then, I have found real purpose and moved forward by focussing on what is within my control, while living in the present.
The reflections published here draw on the hand written journals that have followed me over the last decade. Most entries are written in the second person, recording success, failure and the full range of emotions in the face of challenges. Writing is my way of making sense of it all while striving to improve.
​
​This is not a blueprint for success or a claim to have the answers. It is a personal ordering of thoughts, experiences, and lessons learned. Life is a journey, not a destination and I write while on that path.
If what I have learned helps others navigating a similar path then this page has served it's purpose.
​
All the best,
​
