My Way is Mine – Your Way is Yours – Is There Common Ground?

Just because my way is mine doesn’t mean we can’t find some common ground (within reason). We are closing in on having 8 billion people on this planet. Let me write that out – that’s 8,000,000,000 people. Let’s say you know, personally, 100 people total. Maybe not well, but for the sake of argument, it’s a good round number. That means that you know 0.00000000125 of the total number of people on this planet. That’s a SUPER small number of

How Do You Stop Tripping Over Self-Made Obstacles?

Tripping over your own two feet along a given path is usually an inside job – and under your control. I love to overthink. When it comes to just about anything you can imagine I’m super good at overthinking things. Thoughts, ideas, concepts, notions – I churn through them lots and lots. I tend to run through a multitude of scenarios and “what ifs” at the speed of the Millennium Falcon making the Kessel Run. Often, this all happens right

The Challenge of Prioritizing

Multiple paths can’t be traveled all at once. Prioritizing is the key to choosing their order. I love to have a lot to do. Frankly, when I have nothing to do, I get restless. Hence, there is more than one path I am on at this time. Each path takes me to an overall end goal of feeling more connected between myself and the world. But I am just one man. I can’t be in two places at once (okay,

Breaking New Ground

Intentional change is a matter of breaking new ground. Every day is a new day. Cliché, right? That doesn’t make it any less true. Every single day of your life is different from the day before. To be fair, many days are similar. But that doesn’t mean they’re the same. Because they aren’t. It has taken me a long time to reconcile this. For years, I was always looking ahead from today to tomorrow – while also chewing on past

Time is Yours to Control

You have more power over time than you realize. Despite the labels we put on time – it is almost entirely made up of individual perceptions. That’s why an hour doing something dull and unpleasant can seem to stretch on interminably while an hour doing something you enjoy can seem to pass in an instant. That’s the reality of time. It’s not the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and similar specifics we give to it. Time in its most pure

Never Make the Goal Too Rigid

It’s important to have a goal – but it needs to retain flexibility. You never know what you may get. When you set a goal for yourself you still need to leave the Universe some wiggle room. What does that mean? It means that having a goal is important. But at the same time, there needs to be room for it to expand beyond your intent. The Universe is a funny thing. It is made up of abundance and endless

What Can I Do to Take Control?

This is much easier than you think it is – but – taking control requires some hard work on your self. What can you control? Honestly, it’s a VERY short list. To sum up – you. You have the power to control your appearance – what you wear, how you cut your hair, piercings, tattoos, and so on. Beneath the surface, you can control your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions. Underneath that, you have control over your mindset/headspace/psyche. How you

What Will Your Today Look Like?

As you progress on a chosen path, today will be unique. You can decide what it looks like for you. Today is unique. It is the only day of its kind. When today is done it will be gone. Tomorrow is another day. Some people see this as an endless, pointless slog going on and on. Others see most days as bothersome necessities while looking forward to the weekend or some specific event. There will be good days and bad

It Depends on Your Perspective

How you see life, the Universe, and everything is a matter of perspective. All the ways in which you experience life are a matter of perspective. Take Monday, for example. I know a LOT of people who get to Monday and automatically get negative. This is how they approach work, school, the daily grind, and so on. Monday morning is unwelcome. That’s one perspective. What if, instead, Monday were to represent new opportunities? How do you approach work when you

Who Cares About What Path You’re On?

You care. Still, others who care can be a mirror reflecting something you need to see. I have no idea what path anyone else in this world is on. Sometimes it’s obvious. More often, it is not. Yet even when your path is apparent to me – I haven’t any idea what it is. That’s because I cannot get inside your head. Of course, conversely, you can’t get into mine, either. So, who cares? That doesn’t really matter – to
