Yesterday I wrote about that bogus line “we don’t have a choice” and how absolutely inaccurate that is. We all have choices every single second of every single day (people, businesses, and governments all have choices). If you choose to sit and be the victim than that is your … [Read more...]
The comfort zone that’s killing you
Earlier this week I was thinking a lot about the times that I feel inadequate or inferior…I thought enough about it to pose a question on my blog about it. After having some time to think about that whole internal versus external thing, I’ve come to the conclusion that this too … [Read more...]
Your Life: Customized Vs. Default
Why is it we often avoid the urges that we should be indulging, but end up instead succumbing to the urges that only get us in trouble? We hear stories all the time about people not having the strength to overcome urges to do drugs, drink themselves to death, or cheat on their … [Read more...]
An Adventure of Experiments
I was struck by this post on Man Vs. Debt and he was inspired to write it based on this post at The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau. I don’t often write posts based on other things I’ve read but this hit me because it helped put words to things I’ve been thinking about … [Read more...]

Fighting Through the “I Don’t Deserve This” Issue
Annie and I had an amazing night out last night, as we often do; we set out to meet up with a friend and through the evening ended up running into about 10 or 15 other people we know. I also had the opportunity to meet a couple of new people during the day and saw them that … [Read more...]
Avoiding the Rabbit’s Hole
I think each one of us is a diamond in the rough. Our actions and choices determine whether we will stay in the rough, or come out of that and shine. Life can be very difficult, I get that. Really bad things can happen to really good people, I get that too. The point is, life … [Read more...]
