    Musings

    When pursuing your dreams, do what you can as often as possible, or your options will be taken away one by one, and you will be increasingly forced into doing what is necessary.  As time goes on, “doing what is necessary” will serve your dreams less and less. I think it’s better to do what…

    The shallower measure of a test is whether it ends in victory or defeat. The deeper measure of a test is whether I can use it to become stronger or weaker. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle:  Musings, Volume 1

    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…

    I’ve heard life is about compromises, but I think that’s an oversimplification.  I’d rather phrase it as:  life is about knowing WHEN to compromise. When do I compromise on sleep?  On exercise?  On diet?  On work?  On family?  On pleasure?  On TV?  The list goes on, and it seems to be different for each person.…

    If I refuse the lessons that arise from life, it will become a cruel, merciless tyrant.  It will snatch away my time, my options, my ability/inclination to help others, as well as my fulfillment. But if I do my best to learn, then life will become a harsh—but fair—teacher.  I even stand a chance of…

    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. Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle:  Musings, Volume…

    In my opinion, people often mistake quitting with giving up. Giving up is swearing off an endeavor due to an overwhelming amount of immediate stress.
