If I don’t feel trust, I settle for faith. If I can’t feel faith, I settle for resignation. If I can’t feel resignation, I settle for apathy. I’ve come to the belief—through personal experience—that even though some of these emotions are supposedly “negative,” I can use them as stepping stones to climb back up into…

When things go haywire, everyone’s entitled to the “spoiled prince mentality” (throw your hands up, complain, demand that someone else fix it) but the sooner you become solutions oriented—assess your options, figure out what you can do with what you have, and how that can improve your position so you can maneuver or advance—the better.…

I used to think the best revenge was a measure of success, but everyone has a different measure of what constitutes success. Those who hate you will bide their time until you hit a rough spot so they can ridicule your hardships. Rather than obsess over success or failure, I think it’s way better to…

I believe happiness is an indirect result of ceasing to resist the underlying benevolence that forms existence. From what I can see, lack of resistance can be accomplished in one of two ways: total and utter belief in the rightness of your actions and personal worth, or through a relaxed chillness where you just don’t…

When I was younger, I thought strength meant persevering through discomfort. But now I believe that true strength is a focus on positivity and potential opportunity. With a positive, opportunity-oriented worldview, I can prime my subconscious to look for hidden advantages or abide calmly in temporary setbacks, open to the idea they may become advantages…

Creative pursuits are inherently satisfying, which makes perfect sense; we are caught in a creation that never stops unfolding. When we contribute to that constant outflow, I believe we are rewarded by a full-being resonance, sometimes interpreted as joy or flow state. Get Kor’Thank here: Kor’Thank: Barbarian Valley Girl.
