Asking the right questions is paying attention. If we can see it, then we can ask about it. Thus, to pay attention, we need to be focused. To be focused, we need to be present. To be present, we need to be in the moment. And to be in the moment, we need to be prepared.

A heartfelt welcome

Hi, I'm Carlo Mahfouz

I’m the author of Reality Check, which is a guide to help you navigate today’s world, filled with uncertainty and distractions. Through our collective awareness, I hope that we can start identifying and working on the right questions that make our today a reflection of our future. Reality Check is only but the spark of the beginning and not the end.

Let us build a world that is not afraid of change and that no matter how complex the problem is, we are ready to tackle it. Not because we know and can foresee what it will be, but because we are constantly adapting.

So let's adapt and change, thanks for being here and welcome!

Quote by Carlo Mahfouz: For communication to happen, you need to start communicating.

Dec 03, 2023

Are you communicating or talking?

90% of the time, we want to communicate, but we are not communicating. And that’s because we often mistake communication for talking and speaking. And in reality, it is not either.

Quote by Carlo Mahfouz: Pause and resolve deficiencies rather than expanding into them.

Nov 26, 2023

Are we expanding into deficiencies or resolving them?

Our innate behavior is to expand and fill the space. A problem arises, and instead of taking a moment to resolve it correctly, we flow into it. It is difficult to resist the urge to expand, especially when the issues seem easily addressable.

Quote by Carlo Mahfouz: When all else fails, the understood structure is the best fit, not the right structure.

Nov 19, 2023

Are you seeking the right structure or the understood one?

We build and adopt structures to fix problems. Yet sometimes, the best system is that which is implementable and understood. You build a house to fit your needs, not the other way around.
