Are You Really, Truly Ready to Give Up Your Hope?

Don’t give up your hope. That’s what they want. Don’t give up your hope. It is neither a weakness nor does it disempower you. The doom and gloom across the world presently are deeply distressing. There is the utterly ludicrous and crushing invasion of Ukraine by Putin and his army, the seemingly never-ending battle with the COVID pandemic, and the terrifyingly regressive leaked US Supreme Court decision, just to name a few things. Each on its own is overwhelming doom

Why Should You Write Down Your Ideas and Interesting Thoughts ASAP?

When you write down your ideas, they become harder to lose or misplace. This is not the article I was originally writing. Nope, that article was on a completely different topic. I was about halfway done writing it. Then, my computer crashed. The usual recovery file that tends to pop up when I restart MS Word didn’t. After spending probably more time than I should have searching for this – it all proved to be for naught. The worst part?

Are You Just Spinning Your Wheels or Are You Going Somewhere?

Feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels can be frustrating and infuriating. Ever have that feeling that you’re in motion, but not going anywhere? It’s akin to a car being stuck in the mud, on sand, or on ice. Your tires spin and spin and spin – but you don’t move. Sometimes, you do move – just really, really, slowly. Too slowly to feel like any movement is occurring. That’s a feeling I think many of us deal with from

Do You Think you’re the Only One Who Ever Gets Stuck?

It’s easy to feel stuck – but you are not the only one. As I started to consider what to write today, I found myself stuck. The usual time I make to do this writing came and went. And still, I felt stuck. Nothing sat right in my head, and I just couldn’t put the words in order. Then I read through my Medium daily digest. And as if the Powers-that-be knew what I needed, multiple articles on a similar

How Important is it to Know What Is Your Why?

What is your why – in this context – is not about the overarching meaning of life. Every single human life matters. All lives are important. Each and every one of us is endowed with some scientifically amazing attributes. These allow us to experience our world like no other animal on Earth. When we are first born, our lives are lived wholly in the now. All we know is waking, sleeping, and being. During this period, we’re just like the

What Does Genuine, Real Productivity Look Like?

Productivity – like beauty and perfection – is in the eye of the beholder. There are many days when I don’t feel that I am sufficiently productive. I know there are several reasons for this. First – I do not work a standard Monday-Friday, 9-5 job. Truth is, I work anywhere between about 8am and 11pm. Also, I don’t necessarily only work Monday – Friday. There are times I put in some work on Saturday or Sunday, two. Second –

How Do I Get and Stay Out of My Way More Regularly?

I know that it starts with recognizing what it looks like to get in my way. Self-sabotage is just one piece of an intricate puzzle. I am that puzzle. And that is complex because who I am now is both made of and not made of who I was in the past. Then, to complicate that, who I could be can only come from now and not who I was in the past. Lessons learned in the past can be

What Are You Doing with Your One Life Experience?

We all get one life experience each in these bodies. What are you doing with yours? Like it or not – we have a finite time in this existence. The finite meat popsicles we call our bodies are the vessels that house our infinite souls. The substance may be eternal – but the vessels are not. Are we here just for basic subsistence? Or is there more to this life experience than that? I believe that we’re here for more

Can I Please Stop Second-Guessing and Self-Sabotaging Myself?

I would very much like to be done second-guessing and self-sabotaging. Despite the effort I have been making for over a decade to live life on my own terms, choosing my own paths – there is an ongoing challenge I can never seem to shake. Every path I choose, every approach I take, even when I am being super-mindful – I am second-guessing and self-sabotaging. Having just finished reading Gary John Bishop’s Stop Doing that Sh*t: End Self-Sabotage and Demand

Why Can Rethinking Be Applied to Anything and Everything?

Rethinking is vital to self-awareness, change, and life overall. It’s also applicable to positivity. On Monday, February 4 of 2014, I saw something that distressed me. Across social media – Facebook and Twitter specifically – negativity. Lots, and lots of negativity. People were seemingly just miserable. Lamenting the start of the workweek, stressing out about deadlines and expectations, and utterly unhappy and negative overall. That got me thinking. What, if anything, can I do to help? Is there some way
