Tilting at Windmills

Tilting at windmills is an English idiom which means fighting an imaginary enemy, originating from Miguel de Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote. This is often called Imposter Syndrome,

Whilst tilting is jousting, or in today’s language, fronting up to.

The novel recounts the exploits of would-be knight ‘Don Quixote’ and his loyal servant Sancho Panzawho propose to fight injustice through chivalry.  This is where we get the adjective quixotic (striving for visionary ideals. The eponymous hero imagines himself to be fighting giants when he attacks windmills. Who or what are you fighting today, when there’s no need?

I'm someone who doesn't like parameters, barriers or fences. I'll try and climb over them, burrow under them or just pretend they don't exist - until they don't. Sometimes I'll write about the mind in a poetic way, or poetry with neural undertones, or I'll proselytise endlessly about my favourite new band - or one of the old ones. My Blog will give you the keys to the kingdom. A kingdom with no borders, no expectations and, therefore, no failure.. Because I am endlessly empathetic with people, their motivation, their behaviour,their problems and their quest for knowledge, I work with the pioneering Brighton-based homeless, vulnerable women and disempowered school students charity Off The Fence Trust that has tried to redress the equality deficit for over two decades. I produce, host and promote two radio shows a week: The Whole Nine Yards Sundays 3-5pm on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM (www.midsussexradio.co.uk/listen) - and Lost Immortals on Mid Sussex Radio 103.8FM on Sundays 5-7pm.
