I love the Twenties! I’ve been pretty jacked up since the start of this new decade. My recent posts on the power of thinking and mindset have unleashed a wave of energy and creativity in me that I’ve never experienced. This is not hyperbole. Even when I get smacked down with life, I’m back up qui...
I'm a bit behind the times. I had watched a video of Tony Robbins interviewing an advanced conversational robot named Sophia. Apparently, this first robot with granted citizenship (Saudi Arabia) has been around awhile. It felt like a real interview. Exactly how "intelligent" Sophia is, is debatable....
I'm sticking with this theme of the last couple of weeks of mindset and positive psychology. It's a foundation for everything you want and everything you are. If you do not think about what you wish to manifest, positively and consistently, it will not manifest in the way you desire, or not at all! ...
The pressure is really on folks. This is the first (second) BLOG post of a new decade. OK, OK. I confess. My first post of the year was going to be this one, but I had a change of heart. Big deal, right? Well, yes. It is a big deal. I was going to write about a seriously big topic, like the importan...
The decks are cleared. It's a new decade. The year is 2020. My perspective is "2020." This is my MEME. (What the heck is a MEME?) I can see things for what they are. I know more than ever what I am doing this year. It took all of December for me to get here. And what a December it was! There were mu...
As you know by now, the book The Four Agreements is a personal favorite of mine. Written by Don Miguel Ruiz, it translates the Wisdom of the ancient Toltec (pre-Aztec) Mesoamerican culture into four simple truths, or agreements, that when appropriately applied, provide total freedom. Freedom from pa...
This one seems pretty obvious, doesn't it? I mean, "Always do your best" has been told to us from time immemorial, or for me since Father Dowdell would take me aside, my lungs filled with pain, defeated that I couldn't keep up in cross country, and he would say "my friend, my friend, as long as you ...

1) Be impeccable with your word
These are the Four Agreements. Well, not quite. You will get the fourth one next week. I intend to illustrate a progression of sorts. Today we introduce one that seems incredibly ...
I almost didn’t get to this. I had a great excuse. I’m away this weekend before Thanksgiving on one of two annual fishing pilgrimages that I make every year. Right now, I’m in the Tailwater lodge having spent the first seven hours of the day coming up empty. No landed fish from 6 am to 1pm. Standing...
I have something to tell you that might offend you. In fact, you might take it personally. The truth is that taking things personally or having a high degree of Personal Importance is the maximum expression of selfishness. Hey, wait a minute! I think I just offended myself.
We are born as wild anim...
