Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans. – John Lennon Why do we run through life at the fastest pace possible? Why do we always look forward to the future? To that someday when we will have more time to do what we truly want. We just need to keep working that dreaded job until...
We have a ton of opinions and make loads of assumptions about everything. All the time. Every day. Consciously and unconsciously. Is today’s weather good or bad? Is your colleague’s outfit suitable? Is that child’s behavior appropriate? We constantly pass judgment and give value to things. We jump to conclusions and label people and situations that occur as good or...
Do you have a clear picture of what’s getting you up in the morning? Do you know why you do what you do? For what purpose are you slugging along trying to get it all together? If you don’t know, you do best in finding out. We need a sense of purpose in life and figuring out your why can...
As the new year is upon us, I find that it’s an appropriate time to reflect on the year that’s passed. Sometimes we judge ourselves too harshly. That nagging feeling that you’ve accomplished very little. That you have nothing to show for. Most of the time, that feeling gives a false representation of reality. Before you plan your actions for...
The most well-regarded person at a workplace is usually the one that stays positive even when faced with difficulties. The one that stands firm for what they believe in, but at the same time is not afraid to acknowledge that there might be another way of doing things. No obstacle is too great. Every opinion is worth considering. And there’s...
Complaining is draining. Complaining is non-productive. Complaining doesn’t lead to anything. It doesn’t change things. Complaining only leads to more complaining. Down the rabbit hole we go. Sucking in people who just happen to be standing close by. Complaining is like a contagious disease. A toxin that gets under your skin. You might think it’s harmless, until one day, you...
We tend to keep score of favors. If I do this for you, I expect a favor back some time in the future. If the favor never is returned, we get frustrated. Thinking to ourselves that person is really selfish, never returning the favor. But that person might never be in a position to help you. Never be able to...
Some things are better left alone. Some things are better left as they are. Some things are not meant to change. You have to push through some resistance to get to where you want. Nothing comes easy. You evolve when you can be comfortable with being in an uncomfortable situation. That’s when real progress can be made. If you push...
Injustices happen all the time. We see it on the news. We hear about it in the lunch room at work. We really like to talk about bad things that happen to others. We more seldom talk about the good things that happen. When we hear about an injustice being done, we might comment “That’s awful! How could they do...
You’re not entitled to anything. Entitlement is your worst enemy. The thinking that since I have accomplished X, then I’m deserving of Y is not going to get you anywhere. Even though you completed X successfully, Y is not guaranteed to happen. Some people even think that they are deserving of both X and Y without doing anything to achieve...
