*Header Photo by Joshua Woroniecki on Unsplash* At the bottom right-hand of my website, I have a daily quote section. And anyone familiar with my writing knows that I love quotes. I love the idea that you can take such powerful ideas and package them into neatly wrapped little gifts. Having such wisdom and perspective… Continue reading Great Acts Are Made Of Small Deeds

Going In Circles
Going in circles is such a familiar expression. This feeling that we're putting in the work but never able to get ahead. As so brilliantly expressed by The Red Queen in Lewis Carroll's Through The Looking-Glass: Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If… Continue reading Going In Circles
The Silent Majority
I believe that the majority of people are good. That the number of good-hearted people committed to building people up outweighs the number of those who want to tear them down. But every time I see the news, it seems like the opposite. Like hell-fire is about to rain down and the world is doomed. … Continue reading The Silent Majority
Guest Post: Reclaim Your Individuality with Stoicism
What is Stoicism? I’m gonna provide a definition based on what I’ve learned from the Stoic texts I’ve read and studied. So it may not be perfect or up to the standards of Zeno (the founder of Stoicism). Stoicism is a very personal philosophy based on recognizing that which you can and can not control.… Continue reading Guest Post: Reclaim Your Individuality with Stoicism
4 Tools to Sharpen Your Decision Making
I say tools, but they’re actually called philosophical razors. A philosophical razor is a heuristic or principle for decision making. It can be used as a rule of thumb that allows you to "shave off" unlikely explanations or avoid unnecessary actions. Basically, they're used to save you time. Once you understand them, there are many… Continue reading 4 Tools to Sharpen Your Decision Making

Push Through and Post It Anyway
You know the drill. I spend hours writing, working on, and editing my articles. Trying to come up with a great title, picture, make sure it's well written - all that good stuff. Then when I go to publish, I inevitably think to myself, "Well, hopefully, I get at least one like, because this may… Continue reading Push Through and Post It Anyway
Slow down
It's finally springtime again. And my favorite thing to do in the morning is walk outside, stand in the sun, and think. I think about the grass, the trees, and the sun. The birds chirping and the insects crawling around. I remind myself to take deep breaths and to soak it all in. Life and… Continue reading Slow down
Breaking out of the old you
Who we are Who we are is a combination of the way we think, the actions we take, and the things we believe. Who you were is who you've been, and who you are is who you will be. The most important thing in making lasting changes is to make a concerted effort to catch… Continue reading Breaking out of the old you
The Rhythm of Mood
"I'm thinking." I find myself inadvertently blurting this out when I get mental overload. Most times I'm alone with nobody around to hear it. We all go through different moods, but the involuntary phrases intrigue me. Surely they're a reflection of my mental state. This week it's been "I'm thinking." This one tends to happen… Continue reading The Rhythm of Mood
