Musings
Acting solely on the idea of who I am is pretty interesting, but it’s not nearly as interesting as acting on the idea of who I’m trying to BECOME. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings, Volume 1

The question is not whether I am a “good person,” or a “capable guy,” or an “awesome performer,” the question is whether or not I earn those titles every day through my actions, regardless of what temporary classification forms around me. This is a way to reduce egoic considerations of what I think I might…

If you work with what you’ve got and you’re brutally honest with yourself (so you can accurately gauge your progress, determine if you can handle a heavier load, and adjust course when it’s necessary), then just like Mandela, you might be able to go from being a forgotten prisoner to a heralded leader. You stand…

Don’t focus on winning. Focus on destroying every excuse—both internal and external—to not do your absolute best. That requires way more effort and way more concentration than conquering the opposition. Also, as far as I can tell, this approach will give you the best chance of winning.

Whatever your inclination is—whether it’s to make peace with death or to live life to the fullest—I believe that if you push that inclination to its ultimate end, you will naturally do both, and all will be taken care of. You will simply exist in harmony. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings, Volume 1…
