SELF-FULFILLED PROPHESY: THE ART OF WILLFULLY STRUCTURING EVENTS TO MANIFEST A PROJECTED OUTCOME.
It isn’t enough that we have to battle the rest of the world, we have to battle ourselves. And often we are not only our greatest critic, we are our worst enemy. We treat everyone else in the world–including strangers on the street–with [...]

Life, they say, is what happens while you’re otherwise occupied. I’m not sure if I believe that, but I do believe that you can miss life by being occupied. We can get caught up in crisis living and miss the turns on our personal paths that are most meaningful. What do I mean?Honestly, I’m grappling with [...]

Houston, I have a problem. I intended to post the article to go with the title here today, but after multiple attempts, I failed to get the photo to include, the text to include, and the graphics to include.

If you want to do something, you’ll find time to do it.
I’ve believed that my entire life. Which is not to say that I lack sympathy for the challenges in actually making it happen, especially when you’re juggling a home/life and a career.
