I have an analogy that I use to teach active problem solving; I liken it to slaying a dragon. Now, the important part of this analogy is the timing of WHEN you slay your dragon
Imaginary Enemies
Kids Have Imaginary Friends Adults have Imaginary Enemies If you care enough to nickname an imaginary group of people “haters” then you're probably delusional.
EGO & Your Life As A Community
Wen we compete, it's actually a zero sum game. Start seeing life differently. Feel it as a community, not a competition.
I Don’t Need More Time. What I Need Is a Deadline (Parkinson’s Law)
So I'm currently unemployed. Yes, it's amazing in many ways, especially because I've worked over 60 hours per week since I was 25 years old. But I can't finish as many things as I thought I could with all this free time! It's been crazy!
For the Love of the Grind (Why I Don’t Set Many Goals)
Good Wednesday Morning! I had a funny conversation with my best friend last night. He just got back from a 10 day vacation out in the wilderness at a family cabin up in north Washington (practically Canada), and he was telling me that he thinks that the way society is set up with work and … Continue reading For the Love of the Grind (Why I Don’t Set Many Goals)
Never Let Down
Good Monday Morning!! You wanna know how to never get sick? Always be on. Why? Because your immune system lets down when you do.

There … Continue reading Offense or Defense (The 2 Mindsets)
Crazy Lucky (The Lottery of Life)
It's mind boggling how lucky we are to be here. The odds of being born a human are 400,000,000,000 to 1. That's so unlikely to happen that it's practically impossible...yet here we are! It's like winning the ultimate lottery!! So then what do we do with it?? Do you have any idea the amount … Continue reading Crazy Lucky (The Lottery of Life)
Find What You Value (The Epiphany)
My opinion is... Values vs Tactics, values will always win! Quick Reminder: Tactic = A tip. An action. A life hack. Values = A religion. A ritual. An overall philosophy on everything Without a doubt the most powerful lesson in this has been that when I follow my Values (my heart), all the things that I … Continue reading Find What You Value (The Epiphany)
