Are You More Capable Than You Allow Yourself to Recognize?

Odds are you’re more capable than you know. Arguably, everyone has limitations. This varies from person to person. These can range from the physical to the emotional to the mental to the spiritual – and combinations of all. What you can and can’t do is frequently part of your focus. The physical tends to be the most limiting. These meat-popsicles that people occupy are prone to lots of annoying issues that impact what you can and can’t do in them.

Do You Already Know What’s Best for You and Your Life Experience?

You already know – you just don’t know because it’s too simple to be believable. For over a decade, I’ve been actively exploring how to be the best me that I can be. One of my greatest strengths is my desire to help others do the same. Why? Because all of us are on this planet together. At the very least we must coexist. But tolerance isn’t enough. We’re capable of more and better. That’s because everyone has a deep-seated

Do You Recognize Your Comfort Zones and How They Impact You?

Everyone has multiple comfort zones that they exist within. One of the biggest challenges I have when it comes to walking my chosen life path is moving out of my comfort zones. Even when a given comfort zone is unideal and maybe unhelpful to me and my life, that doesn’t mean leaving it is ever easy. Why? Because comfort zones are comfortable due to their familiarity. And the familiar is often comforting – even when not good for us. While

How Are the Little Positive Things Actually So Big?

Because all the little positive things add up and are more frequent than the big things. The little things are often taken for granted. One of the few downsides to moving where we live now was being far from one of our favorite restaurants. It’s an amazing Thai place we used to go to at least once a month that also offered delicious dim sum on the weekends. Following one of the craziest months for either of us, my wife

Why is Disconnecting From Toxic People So Difficult?

Maybe because some of those toxic people are friends and family. Towards the end of 2022, I removed myself from Twitter. There was already far too much toxicity there for my liking, and when Mr. Musk decided to let Trump and several other assholes back on the platform, I removed myself and my support from it. I was only on Twitter mostly to promote my writing work. I don’t miss it or the toxicity of it. This week, my wife

Why You Don’t Need to Love Yourself but DO Need to Like Yourself

It’s because you are always with yourself, all the time. But that’s just the start. Nobody is ever, truly, alone. Why? Because no matter where you go, there you are. Or in other words – you always have yourself. Here’s the thing – your entire life, you have yourself. That means that you have all that you are, good, bad, and otherwise, always with you. For many people, that’s disconcerting. You have yourself – but isn’t that a lonely proposition?

Is It Normal To Question The Path That You’ve Chosen to Take?

It is not just normal to question the path, but necessary. At the start of the pandemic in 2020, I had an opportunity present itself to me. I was in the position to pursue the path I most desired to take. That was writing full-time. This excited me. So, I redoubled my efforts. That led to me publishing 3 books in 2020. An idea sparked a new direction for my writing. Rather than writing by the seat of my pants

What Do You Do When You Feel Like You Can’t Win?

When you feel like you can’t win you always have options. The past couple of weeks have not been good. I got COVID. Even though I took lots of precautions and was as vaccinated and boosted as possible – I still got sick. However – it was no worse than a cold, and there seem to be no lingering effects. Vaccines work – thank you, science. Right on top of that, my mother-in-law had to be hospitalized. Without oversharing, she’s

What Do You Do When Your Path Isn’t What You Think It Is?

It’s your path – you can choose to reclaim it when you lose it. It doesn’t matter what paths you choose in life. I don’t think they ever go as intended. Why? Because life is full of uncertainty, situations, and circumstances way outside of your control. For example, I knew the plans we had around Christmas for months now. I was all set to carry them out. Everything was in place and set to go as of the Wednesday before

When Life Sucks, What Do You Do?

Even when life sucks, YOU choose what you do with it. Christmas 2022 has come and gone. And this was a truly, spectacularly lousy holiday for me. It sucked. Lots. First, yes, I acknowledge that I’m whining. But I have a point to make and you need the context. It began Wednesday night when, for the first time in years, I felt a cold or something coming on. The next morning, I felt majorly off and unwell, took a COVID
