So you’ve fallen out of love with your spouse, or think you have, and are wondering if you can ever get that connection back. I’ve got some good news for you. You once had the connection, so you have great prospects on getting it back! How do you get that loving feeling back though? Ask
So many people look for ways to boost their mental health, often wanting a quick fix or some positive affirmations to help them get through the day, but much of what is taken in are words written by somebody else. Granted these do often have the desired effect, hitting the mark and making them see
I am a big hoops fan now. In the 90’s, I was an obsessive hoops fan. Big Knicks guy. Of course, Michael Jordan was the Knicks’ nemesis, knocking the NY team out of the playoffs every year. The Knickerbockers never could get by the guy. I deeply enjoyed the ESPN series The Last Dance because
I find it amusing when my ego deems itself fearless. Of course I have fears. But I also boast a partial fearlessness related to fears most of humanity seems to suffer from. Anyway, cutting the strings of attachment helps me find fear, again, if I am feeling a bit too fearless and comfortable. Check your
Ego tends to think lazily. Thinking lazily involves accepting – aka thinking – other people’s thoughts sans analysis, scrutiny or any form of mental vetting. What happens if you think someone else’s thoughts mired in: fear? poverty? scarcity? Fear, poverty and scarcity will dominate your mind if you think other’s low energy thoughts. Scared minds
Some believe my life is a movie. I have lived in Fiji, New Zealand, Bali and Costa Rica for months at a time. I have spent over 2 years in Thailand. Why did I live my dreams? I developed one skill to a point where I just got the job done, no matter what obstacles
The years between childhood and maturity can be difficult for many of us. In some ways, the various struggles that we face have become something of a rite of passage or considered a necessary part of growing up. Often, too little thought is given by parents and mentors about how providing our kids with some
I am in the process of readying the house for sale. No matter who walks in the door to take a look at the house, I maintain the intent that the sale is already done. Other than that, focusing on the process of selling the home versus attaching to people keeps me: calm confident grounded
I’ve started many groups over the years. An online Toastmasters club where people become better speakers, business owners’ groups, church groups, pick up soccer groups, fitness groups, and this site with all the associated social media groups. I want to tell you that it’s easy to start new things when you know how, but that’s
When did you last encounter a pressing problem? Think through the obstacle. What was the problem? Guess what? You created the problem in your mind with a thought and adjacent fear-filled feeling. Everything is neutral. Everything just is. Notice how nature never judges or labels. Human beings seem to be the only sentient beings on
My personal trainer was sick the other day, and I found myself filling in and helping the other people he usually trains through all the exercises. I knew them by heart after doing it for years, so it felt natural to take over. So why do I continue to work with a personal trainer? A
Budget if you want to have financial peace. We’ve all heard it, if you want to be rich, you need to budget. If you have been following this website for any length of time, you’ll also know that I’m a huge fan of budgeting. But do you really believe you’re going to become a millionaire
Human beings are an odd lot. Humans pass memes to one another. Most humans trust these memes solely because: some people experiencing worldly success preach the memes most people struggling to succeed swear by the meme But just because a bunch of people and a few successes say something is true does not make the
I recently watched the video at the end of this article from Will Smith, one of the most famous actors of our day, on failure. In light of my many failures over the years including my early failures in getting this site that now has over 20,000 followers off the ground, his words are incredibly
I love me some Succession. I also dig the show Billions. But both forms of fiction provide a mere hour long of light entertainment here and there. I love my real life so enjoying fiction plays a small part in my experience. Being enthusiastic about: circling the globe helping people through blogging strengthening my mind
Today for my 45th birthday, I decided to go for a PR on the deadlift. The good news is I hit a new record for myself! The bad news is my back isn’t happy for me. I knew better; after all, I’ve created an entire healthy habits program that has helped many people get in
One of the most common problems new business owners run into is that they’ve created a low paying job for themselves rather than a business. There’s a subtle difference between running a business and just being self-employed. Here’s a test you can use to evaluate a business idea. The Million Dollar Business Idea Test We’ll
Who taught you what you believe? Did your parents largely influence your thinking? Who are your parents? Loving, caring human beings who did their best job raising you, in most cases? But did your loving, caring parents have the wisdom of Solomon, the poise of the Dalai Lama and the loving-kindness and compassion of Jesus
I am a big Will Smith fan, and his recent short video discussion “Fault vs Responsibility” really made me think about that key difference. I have to say that I completely agree with his assessment. One of the things that I’ve noticed about people who tend not to do well in life is that they
