Murphy's Notes
What If I Fail?

In this episode, we tackle the question that stops more dreams than failure itself ever could: "What if I fail?". But here's a better question: "What if you succeed?". What if the very thing you're afraid of becomes your breakthrough? This week, we explore why failure isn't final, how every attempt sharpens your aim, and why the only true failure is the lesson you never learn.

Ice Cream or Irish Cream

In this episode, we go back to a funny but unforgettable childhood experience that carries a timeless lesson: the danger of blindly following the crowd and the importance of asking for clarity when in doubt. Just because everyone is choosing the same thing doesn’t mean it’s right for you. And sometimes, failing to seek clarity leads us to destinations that don’t truly fit us. This week’s reminder is simple: walk your own path, ask the right questions, and make choices that are authentically yours.

Why Self-Made Is a Myth: The Power of Collaboration and Leverage

In this episode, we explore the true power of collaboration and leverage. Going it alone may seem noble, but it often slows us down. By leaning on the strengths of others and wisely using the resources and opportunities available to us, we can achieve more faster and more efficiently. Learn why no one is truly “self-made” and how strategic collaboration and smart leverage can multiply your results.

The Power of Compounding

Back in primary school, we learned about simple interest and compound interest. At the time, it felt like just another math topic. But as life unfolded, I discovered that compounding isn’t just about money; it’s about everything. Our habits, our health, our choices; they all compound, silently shaping the future we’ll meet. In today’s episode, we dive into how this universal principle works for or against us, and how to make sure compounding is building the life we truly desire

The Making of a Miracle

In this episode, we explore the true making of a miracle, where preparation, discipline, and faith intersect. Miracles don’t cancel process; they crown it. We talk about how every breakthrough begins first in the mind, why qualities come before titles, and how divine alignment meets our diligence. If you’re praying for a miracle, this will remind you of the balance between what’s in your control and what only God can do.

Dexterity

In today’s episode, we talk about the power of practice and consistency on the journey to mastery. From childhood memories of watching my dad type effortlessly without looking at the keyboard, to lessons from Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers and the 10,000-hour rule, this episode explores how dexterity is not talent. It’s discipline, focus, and time. Whether it’s typing, coding, flying, or any evolving skill, mastery isn’t just about the hours you put in; it’s about who you become along the way.

There’s More to Life than just Living!

In today’s episode, we reflect on the difference between simply existing and truly making an impact. Using the lives of Methuselah, who lived 969 years, and Jesus Christ, whose 33 years changed the world, we explore why the length of our days matters far less than what we do with them. This is a call to live with purpose, to make every moment count, and to ensure that our legacy is measured not by years, but by the lives we touch.

Never Arrive; Never Settle!

In today’s episode, we explore the quiet danger of settling. It's not just about chasing success, it's about staying relevant in a world that never stops evolving. We talk about the power of lifelong learning, the importance of constantly stretching yourself, and why “arriving” is a myth that can lead to stagnation. If you want to stay sharp, valuable, and forward-moving, this episode is your wake-up call. Never arrive. Never settle. Keep growing.

Nature and Nurture

In this episode, we explore how people raised in the same environment can still turn out very differently, and why that matters. We share the powerful story of two sons raised by a drunkard father who chose completely opposite paths, reminding us that while our upbringing shapes us, it doesn't define us. The real difference lies in how we respond. Are you using your past as an excuse or as fuel to grow? This episode challenges you to examine your choices, break limiting patterns, and take full ownership of your future.

Behind The Smile

In this episode, we explore the hidden battles people face behind the masks they wear. From the pressure to perform to the silent struggles we rarely speak of, this is a timely reminder to lead with empathy, not assumption. I challenge you to look beyond appearances, check your expectations, and pour into your relationships—because behind every smile, there’s a story.

Hang in There!

This week's note serves as a reminder of a powerful truth: sometimes, the breakthrough comes just after the moment you feel like quitting. We reflect on the story of Acres of Diamonds and how many of us give up just inches from success. We explore why the pressure often peaks right before progress, and why staying the course, even when it’s hard, is essential. Whether you're pursuing personal goals, building habits, or navigating tough seasons, this episode is your nudge to keep going. Because the time to quit is never when you’re closest to the finish line.

The Time Will Pass Anyway

In this episode, we explore the quiet but powerful force of consistency. How small, repeated actions shape our lives far more than grand, short-lived efforts. We reflect on how habits, whether positive or negative, compound over time. Through simple illustrations and personal stories, we share why starting small and staying consistent beats waiting for the perfect moment. As we wrap up the first half of the year, this is your reminder that progress doesn't require perfection, just persistence. The time will pass anyway. So why not start now?

What Would You Give for One More Day?

Today, we reflect on the fragility of life through the tragic story of a family whose dreams were cut short just moments after takeoff. It's a powerful reminder that life itself is the greatest gift, one we often overlook in the pursuit of bigger things. This episode urges us to pause, breathe, and appreciate the “little” things: health, loved ones, clean air, and simply waking up. Because sometimes, the things we take for granted are the very things someone else is praying for.

"Show Working": What Math Taught Me About Life

In a world that glorifies quick wins and overnight success, it's easy to forget the value of process. In this episode, we explore why the journey matters more than the destination and how skipping critical steps can lead to shaky foundations, even when the results look good on the surface. From math class lessons to real-life examples, this episode is a reminder to show working, embrace the grind, and build something that truly lasts.

Why Do Some People Never Struggle With Discipline?

In this episode, we reveal the hidden truth about why some people seem effortlessly disciplined while others constantly struggle.

You've probably wondered why certain people never miss the gym, always wake up early, and seem to have their life together, while you're fighting willpower battles every single day. The answer isn't what you think.

We explore how people everywhere share fundamental similarities, yet exhibit dramatically different behaviours across various societies. The secret? It's not about superior genetics, culture, or willpower - it's about systems.

We uncover:

  • Why "disciplined" people aren't actually more motivated than you
  • How entire societies create orderly behaviour (and what this teaches us about personal habits)
  • The real reason some people never struggle with consistency
  • How to design personal systems that make good choices automatic
  • Practical steps to build your own "discipline system" starting today

Stop fighting yourself every day. Start building systems that work for you.

Key takeaway: You are a product of your systems. If you don't like your outcomes, don't just try harder - design better.

Lasting Impressions

Two stories, one lesson. In this short but powerful episode, I share two personal stories to unpack the quiet power of how we treat others. From a team lead’s encouraging words to a client's moment of disrespect, we see how even seemingly small interactions can leave a lasting mark. This episode is a reminder that who you are is revealed in how you treat people, especially those you think have nothing to offer you. Respect and dignity should never be optional, because long after people forget your titles, they’ll remember how you made them feel.

Lose the Safety Net

In 1519, Hernán Cortés made a radical move. He sank his own ships, leaving his men with no option but to conquer or perish. That moment became a legendary metaphor for total commitment. In today’s episode, we explore how pressure, not comfort, fuels innovation. Whether it's adversity, boredom, or passion, when the stakes are high, breakthroughs happen.

From personal stories to powerful examples, this episode challenges you to stop playing it safe and raise the stakes on your goals. Maybe it’s time to make an irreversible decision that forces you to level up.

🎯 Topics covered:

• Why adversity sparks creativity

• How boredom drives purpose

• Passion as a form of internal pressure

• The power of urgency and burning your bridges

• Practical ways to create momentum through bold decisions

If you’re stuck, stagnant, or just waiting for the “right time,” this might be the message you need to take action now.
