When are you going to show up? When are you going to face the potential in you? When are you going to step up and say “Hey, I made this”. It’s not going to be easy. It’ll be scary and on several occasions you’ll be asking yourself why you’re doing this. But it’ll be worth it, because you’ll have built […]
We run through life trying to do everything, please everyone, be everywhere. At the end of the day, we fall asleep before we hit the pillow, or we have trouble sleeping. The alarm shrieks early in the morning and we’re off to the races again. And around, around it goes. Did you ever stop to think about what it’s for? […]
Getting out of bed every morning is never easy. As the alarm sounds, you’d much rather hit the snooze button. Those warm sheets are way too comfortable to give up just like that. So you turn over and go back to sleep. At that moment, it seemed like the only thing to do. What if instead, you decide that hitting […]
Humans want to learn new things. We are curious and innovative by nature. We thrive when we learn new things. Today’s school system, regrettably, is killing that curiosity and replacing it with force-fed facts that are completely useless. When are we going to start the difficult, but necessary, work of changing our schools? Why do we teach so differently in […]
In our efforts to leave no child behind in school we are sacrificing the fast learners. The ones that get it the first time and have completed all exercises given before class is over. They run the risk of becoming bored since they are not challenged enough. That, in turn, might cause them to talk in class and disturb the kids […]
What do you do with your time? On what do you spend your most valuable asset? We have others taking care of our kids. We hire people to clean our house. We buy take out instead of cooking ourselves. We shop online instead of going to the store. We rely on contractors to renovate our houses instead of doing it […]
All this talk about decluttering. Everywhere people are clearing out their stuff, emptying their closets, their kitchen cabinets and storage. There are TV shows where people can get help from a professional doing this. Participants stand on the sidewalk next to 150 garbage bags of stuff that they no longer need. Proud smiles on their faces. Then what? What happens […]
We’ve all been there. That sense of overwhelm when you have so much to do that you don’t know where to start. Things are piling up on your to-do list faster than you can tick them off. You might question the point of it all. Why bother with anything since you cannot keep up anymore? So instead you browse through […]
Why is it easier to feel compassion and take action when matters are close at hand, as compared to when it’s something happening on the other side of the world? If you happen to walk past a pond and you see a child drowning, would you save that child’s life even if it meant ruining your expensive clothes and shoes? […]
The urgency is real. You need to do something. You need to act now. You cannot say you didn’t know. All the warning bells are ringing and if you don’t hear them, it’s because you choose not to. But sticking your head in the sand will only lead to the deserts spreading. You cannot say it’s someone else’s problem. You […]
