Faith isn’t just declaring that everything happens for a reason, but actually living by those words. Digging deep into failures and triumphs and looking for information, no matter how much I’m tempted to dismiss each occurrence as a reflection of my worth. To not just drift through a bevy of clues, but to actively USE…

Give yourself permission to fail, then ruthlessly push yourself to do better next time. That way, you will have an excuse to act, paired with a focus on victory. All too often, those two approaches conflict and clash (perfectionism vs. recklessness), but that needn’t be the case—they can work in harmony and maximize potential. Get Echo…

People keep arguing about what “Truth” means. Devastating wars have been waged over what people think it is. Scientists have been imprisoned, tortured, and shunned when their demonstrably reliable findings have conflicted with what people believe to be “True.” (sometimes by other scientists, ironically enough). I just shrug and leave it a Mystery. If I…

As I’ve navigated complexity/adversity, I‘ve suffered damage. I’ve suffered countless headaches and been dragged down into wasteful expenditures of time/effort. But rather than retreat into comfortable simplicity, closing myself off from the deeper reaches of the fantastic unknown, I choose to craft this damage into weapons and tools. So instead of withdrawing, I can venture…

Rewards don’t just come from navigating what is immediately uncomfortable; they also come from navigating what is CONCEPTUALLY uncomfortable. Some people grind fruitlessly away at grueling routines, only to find that if they’d switched to a different routine earlier on—instead of turtling up into the same, stubborn justifications—they’d have made exponential progress. Which, ironically, would…

If I asked for this life and everything it entails, I can’t remember. But that’s an irrelevant concern; I need to figure out how to make the most of the time I have left. Musings, Volume 1 is available here: Musings, Volume 1 Get Echo Vol. 1 on Kindle here: Vol. 1 on Kindle. Vol. 2 on Kindle here:…
