Place in the world

Rather than finding your place in the world. First find yourself, and there will be your place.

Critical Thinking Pt. II

Clarity Could you elaborate further? Could you give me an example? Could you illustrate what you mean? Accuracy How could we check on that? How could we find out if that is true? How could we verify or test that? Precision Could you be more specific? Could you give me more details? Could you be […]

Two Huge Lies

Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe, say, or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.

Water Your Seeds

You wouldn’t plant a seed and then dig it up every few minutes to see if it has grown.

So why do you keep questioning yourself, your hard work and your decisions?

Have patience, stop overthinking and keep watering your seeds.

Career Advice

Don’t ever attach yourself to a person, a place, a company, an organisation or a project. Attach yourself to a mission, a calling, a purpose ONLY. That’s how you keep your power & your peace. It’s worked pretty well for me thus far.

Don’t say “be careful”…

Help your child foster awareness by saying: Notice how… these rocks are slippery, that branch is strong. Do you see… the poison ivy, your friends nearby? Try moving… your feet carefully, quickly, strongly. Try using your… hands, feet, arms, legs. Can you hear… the rushing water, the singing birds, the wind? Do you feel… stable […]

The News

It used to be that the news would tell you what happened and you had to make an opinion on the subject. Now the news tells you their opinion and you have to decide if it happened.

Pseudo-moralistic Stances

I think generally people have things that are more within their personal purview that are more difficult to deal with and they are avoiding… and that generally, the way they avoid them is by adopting pseudo-moralistic stances on large scale social issues so they look good to friends and neighbours.

The True Toxicity of Social Media

True Power

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with magic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.

A Stoic response to anger

Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on—it isn’t manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance—unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.

Tainted Self Love

Don’t let this tainted ‘self love’ trend have you 50 and alone because you walked away from everything that ‘didn’t serve you’ instead of learning conflict resolution.
