Being Busy Isn’t Productive clarity mindset productivity Oct 26, 2021

There is so much to do! How can I get this all done? I mean, really! Look at this to-do list. It’s ridiculous. It felt great to create the list. It was an accomplishment in and of itself. All I needed to do was get it done, and everything would be clear. The path to peace of mind, satisfaction, ful...

When the Lion lies down with the Lamb clarity frameworks freedom mindset Sep 22, 2021

There are so many questions that I have. It seems the more I learn, the more questions present themselves. For example, we are all striving for some sort of heaven, some sort of redemption, some sort of meaning in this world. It seems that the more we search, the more elusive it becomes.

Who are you? I really wanna know! clarity creative expression mindset Sep 14, 2021

Is there redemption in Rock and Roll? Ever since the first parents of the post-World War II age questioned the depth and relevance of their children’s music, the generational gap between the new boss and the old boss has been one of semantics.

There is a certain timelessness in stories, songs, ...

Is there Peace without Happiness clarity mindset peace Sep 13, 2021

The Buddha taught that even happiness is dukkha - an ancient Pali word meaning “suffering” or “unsatisfactoriness.” This is one of the infinite numbers of pairings represented with the yin and yang symbol; happiness, by its existence, brings an equal amount of unhappiness.

The Greatest Thing in the World clarity essentialism love Sep 02, 2021

I have a soft spot in my heart for flea markets, thrift shops, and junkyards. I see them as opportunities to connect with the past. Sometimes it's my past, and sometimes it's someone else's past. Sometimes I find a real deal. Sometimes I find something that resonates again and again.

Life is not a Zero-Sum Game clarity courage growth mindset Jul 15, 2021

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard the term Zero-Sum game. It was Dr. Palmer’s class in Analog Computing. Our lab had to configure multiple operational amplifiers to create a scaled amplifier where one input was the signal to be amplified, and the other input was the amplification mul...

1,000 Voices in Your Head authenticity clarity mindset May 12, 2021

The ancient Toltec culture from Central America called it "Mitote" (mih-toe-tay). Our emotional and intellectual complexity has been around for thousands of years, and it is a problem today as much as it was then. Who doesn't ruminate on things that are a total waste of time? And when that chatter b...

Feed Your Spirit clarity essentialism mindset philosophy spirituality Apr 30, 2021

Spiritual development follows a profoundly personal path. Like any of our beliefs, even the existence of a "Spirit" is not beyond dispute. I know what spirit is for me. And I recognize it as an arena of life, like health, relationships, mission, hobby, that has unlimited upside potential.
