A wise man once professed how he rarely thinks about the past because he has no use for it. Think that one through. How much time do you spend in the past? How often do you call upon pleasant memories? Dwelling on the past may seem to feel good. Or perhaps you feel an urge …

I once read about a blogger who drove millions of people to his blog. He became highly popular. He made almost nothing money-wise through the blog.

One of the most difficult lessons for most people to learn is to over deliver without making outlandish promises. Generously helping people positions you to succeed and to be happy in life.

Have you ever been a landlord? I have not played that role. But I spoke to a few landlords during my renting days. I also conversed with landlords during some of my house sits.

I am house sitting in horse country. Playing stable boy for 2 weeks comes part and parcel with the house sit. While shoveling manure 2 days ago I forget to turn off the hose funneling water into the troughs. I estimate the water ran for approximately 12 hours. Doing a quick calculation revealed how the …

I came across a blogger who made some sweet coin by publishing 20 blog posts daily. I do not advise you to publish 20 blog posts daily through my blogging courses, blogging eBooks or even through my blog. But jogging my memory revealed that I too once published upwards of 20 posts daily to one …

I enjoyed the most uplifting hike through the forest a few moments ago. But I also got lost, turned around, incredibly soaked during a torrential downpour and may have permanently damaged my phone. I honestly care less about the phone, getting lost and even becoming water-logged. My only palpable fear seemed to be not finding …

For whatever reason, I began receiving hundreds upon hundreds of friend requests daily on Facebook a few days ago. My intuition told me to mass approve hundreds of people based on: feeling connected joining with like-minded people facing fears related to letting go people looking for money, love in all the wrong places and business …

Over the past 2 days hundreds upon hundreds of people are friend requesting me on Facebook. I checked my tab a few moments ago; people are requesting me every 1-2 minutes sometimes. Does this make sense logically? Absolutely not. I cannot work out why 100 to 200 or more people started friend requesting me daily …

Growing up I tended to befriend people who agreed with me on most issues. But as I aged I realized the danger in surrounding yourself only with people who think like you.

I approve some folks on social media here and there to: connect with humanity bond with potential friends find blog post topics 🙂 Reaching out to connect is part of life. Friends come and go.

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.
