Why the rush?
I’m sure you’ve noticed the fast paced nature of society. It’s hard to get away from. I used to have a flip phone. Yes, back in the day I could refrain from reaching for my phone unless I needed to answer a call (who takes calls nowadays?) or if I was expecting a text message. … Read More »
Why surface behavior changes don’t work
This past January I did an experiment of sorts. Forty days of meditation each day for at least 30 minutes. Up until that point, I tried doing meditation when I “felt like doing it”. It didn’t work out too well. Think of what happens when you try and workout once a week or even once… Read More »
Getting “burned out”? Stop fighting it.
Not long ago I was in my old office asking myself “when is this going to turn for me?” I had persistent and overwhelming feelings of being “stuck” and a lack of fulfillment with my work. I lacked a clear sense of direction. Sure, I’d get done what needed to get done but I was… Read More »

The problem with Monday
What if Monday didn’t “suck”? What if it only “sucked” because of what we are doing on Monday “sucked”? Job satisfaction in America is low. I don’t need to produce a graph to emphasize that known point. We work, generally, because we need to make money to live. Few people love what they do enough… Read More »
Risk equals happiness?
Two months ago I got a frantic phone call from my friend, Matt. “Hey!”, he said, “Go to this website. There’s a sign up for an all expenses paid for entrepreneurial workshop. It’s for veterans and it’s a week long in Columbus. We are doing this!” I wasn’t sure about it. I would have to… Read More »
