Don't tell people the best way to live – show them
It's one thing to know the right thing to do. It's another thing to go out there and actually do it. "Do as I say, not as I do" - John Selden's Table-Talk (c. 1654) One of the most interesting parts about a lot of self help communities and advice givers that I've seen is… Continue reading Don't tell people the best way to live – show them
How I Learned To Be Grateful
Most days I wake up grateful. I think to myself, "Thank god I'm still around to experience all of this." In my teenage years I struggled with serious depression and suicidal thoughts.

The Great River of Life
"The world is nothing but change. Our life is only perception." -Marcus Aurelius Life is like a great river. Perpetually and relentlessly moving onward. There is no holding on. No stopping. No timeouts. And most importantly, no going backwards. This might sound overwhelming or negative, but try to suspend judgment for a moment. Because these… Continue reading The Great River of Life
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see
"It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see." -Henry David Thoreau. And to loosely quote one of my favorite thinkers, Naval Ravikant, "Life is a series of lights and colors and experiences and then you die, and it's up to you how you interpret those sensations."
