UROK
Six Life Lessons from Four Good Men Lost
Rather than the classic romance Four Weddings and a Funeral starring Hugh Grant, part of my story is a tragic bromance that could be called Four Funerals and a Wedding.
​
My lived experience with loss began in January 1993 and came full circle at a wedding in October 2024. In between, we lost three good men - including my beautiful big brother in 2022. All four were good men. All four were OK.
​
Unlike the awesome Australian charity RUOK? *, UROK turns the focus inward. This page offers a snapshot of the greatest gifts and lessons my lost mates gave me.
Six Life Lessons
It's good to talk, but better to listen
Growing up in the 80's we talked a lot of sh#t. If we'd had more meaningful conversations, we'd have been better.
Prioritise love & kindness
How you make yourself and others feel is more important than any achievement or object.
Trust in Allah, but tie your camel
We need more benevolence & trust in the world. Balance it with pragmatism & prudence.
What stands in the way becomes the way
No matter the card you've been dealt, there is always an opportunity in the obstacle.
Happiness precedes success
By pursuing happiness above & beyond success you'll be happier (duh).
A conversation can change a life
Words have the power to strengthen relationships & help us navigate life’s challenges.
