Murphy's Notes
The Calendar Changed, Nothing Else Did

The calendar may have changed, but life only changes when you do. In this episode, we challenge the illusion of New Year momentum and explore why daily habits matter more than yearly resolutions. Learn how to focus on the right goals for your current life season, build systems that actually work, and create lasting change through consistency.

Life Gives You More of What You Look For

Like social media algorithms, life also has an algorithm. In this episode, we explore a simple but often overlooked truth: life responds to what you consistently focus on. Much like social media algorithms learn your preferences through your behaviour, life adjusts its feedback based on where you give your time, thoughts, and energy. This episode examines how distraction shapes outcomes, why intentions without aligned action fall flat, and how clarity begins with deliberate focus.

Murphy's Notes
Be Big on the Little Things

Description: In this episode, we explore the quiet but powerful truth that shapes every form of excellence: the little things always matter. From a tiny drop of bile that can ruin an entire chicken to a single overlooked detail that can invalidate hours of work, life constantly reminds us that small actions carry big consequences.

But this lesson goes deeper. Many people settle for the bare minimum, doing just enough to get by—never realising that mediocrity is a choice, and when you choose mediocrity, failure chooses you. Drawing from real-life experiences and timeless wisdom, this episode breaks down why the difference between winners and everyone else often comes down to one simple principle: “and then some more.”

Whether in your relationships, your work, or your routines, excellence is built in the details. Little habits, little decisions, little disciplines—repeated daily—become the foundation of a life you can be proud of.

This is your reminder that the small things aren’t small. They’re everything.

Expand Your Mind

In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful truths about personal growth: your life can never exceed the size of your mind. The limits you see are often the limits you’ve absorbed. We break down how your environment, your relationships, and the things you consistently expose yourself to silently shape your sense of possibility. From childhood experiences that expanded my perception of money, to conversations that shattered old ceilings, to the environments that either stunt or accelerate our growth, this episode is a reminder that mental exposure shapes destiny.

Lionel Messi or Crisitano Ronaldo

In this episode, we take a fresh perspective on one of the world’s longest-running debate — Messi or Ronaldo? We uncover a powerful truth about success. Talent, hard work, and even leverage are valuable, but without results, they mean little. Whether you’re naturally gifted like Messi or relentlessly driven like Ronaldo, what truly matters is what you produce with what you have. This episode is a timely reminder to stop making excuses, use every advantage available to you, and focus on getting results that speak louder than words.

The Currency of Time

Time is the most valuable currency we have. And unlike money, once it’s spent, it’s gone forever. In this episode, we explore how we can spend our time more intentionally, build better systems, and create daily habits that compound into lasting success. Because when you look closely, your priorities are revealed not by what you say, but by how you spend your time.

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.

Murphy's Notes
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.
