To me, winning is not about browbeating others into sharing my beliefs.  It is EMBODYING my beliefs,  Living my convictions, letting them evolve and sharpen so that I continuously become more harmonious, effective, and happy. And then, if i have to argue with someone, I stand calmly in the bedrock of my substantiated belief—from concept…

Cling to comfort, and chaos will follow. But if you revel in the unknown on a regular basis, the current of life remains even and steady, filled with pleasant swells and occasional thrills.  It needn’t be a destructive onslaught.

I have worked towards goals for the feeling I get when I finally achieve them.  But now I think it’s possible to be happy regardless of whether a goal is achieved, regardless of whether the condition is present. I believe being happy will prime my subconscious to be optimistic, allowing me to see hidden opportunities;…

One of the greatest pleasures in life is encountering resistance, being knocked off my game, then realizing it doesn’t matter because we’re tiny specks in a incomprehensibly vast reality. This opens me to resignation, then satisfaction, then optimism, then surety.  Because if nothing matters, why not hope for the best, work towards lasting fulfillment, and—most…

Often, “working with what you’ve got” is dismissed as settling for less, but I disagree.  I believe the approach I’ve outlined is that of the self reliant…

Is there something benevolent beneath all of existence?  That’s an age-old question, and I believe the answer is yes. The follow-up question is:  does this “something” demand toil and tribute, sacrifice and righteousness? I believe the answer is no.  I believe that because existence is benevolent by default, we can consciously harmonize with its positivity…

Often, people worship at the altar of Unshakable Bias, ready to commit unspeakable acts and perpetuate dogmatic beliefs in order to support its crumbling pillars. But if you turn away from Unshakable Bias, and simply focus on the desire to improve and assist those around you, you will be rewarded with novelty and solutions, methodology…

If I had to describe my favorite approach to life, I would tell people to acknowledge the negative and focus on the positive.  That opens the perception to lessons learned and the best way forward. I’ve tried the other way—acknowledge the positive and focus on the negative—but it has never worked out.  I get the…
