Your Cross to Bear pain spirituality Oct 19, 2022

Every week I make a list of people to call. Sometimes it is for business development. Sometimes for fun. Other times, it's to reconnect with someone I haven't spoken to in years. Last week I spoke with my old friend and colleague Maty. It had been 27 years since we last spoke.

We first met 30 year...

Pattern Recognition - A weekly post about the astounding interconnectedness of life connection meditation spirituality Feb 22, 2022

I've renamed my weekly blog post from "Blog Post" to "Pattern Recognition." A running theme from week to week is the connections we all make that bring various aspects of our lives together. We call this synchronicity, as Carl Jung coined the term. The spaces between us connect us and create the see...

The Present is The Gift growth mastery mindset spirituality Dec 29, 2021

I've always been fascinated with the concept of time. It is an eternal source of wonder. There is this infinitesimally small point in the continuum of time where to one side you have the past and the other side you have the future. One side is open to interpretation, and one side is open to speculat...

To Worship is to Imitate clarity mindset personal growth spirituality Nov 02, 2021

Little epiphanies come in all shapes and sizes. As the song lyric says, “once in a while, you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” Last week I was lucky to be part of a virtual discussion group that regularly discusses matters of philosophy, religion, ethics, and...

Elusive Contemporary Spirituality connection essentialism growth spirituality Jun 16, 2021

Western societies are suffering from a troika of malevolent dynamics. At once, we are more disconnected, suffering from the long-term effects of a global pandemic, and without the broad spiritual safety net relied on during prior travails.

Our disconnectedness comes at the hand of being digital...

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.

The Ever Elusive Work-Life Balance inspiration positive mindset spirituality Dec 02, 2020

It's all about perspective. That's what I've come to find. Why is it that those of us who live the most simplified lives tend to be the most content? Don't they want more? Of course, they do! And they always get it. It's just a hell of a lot more accessible.

Before you sell the house and trade dow...

Always do your BEST - The Fourth Agreement growth habit formation high performance mindful intention reading list spirituality Dec 09, 2019

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 ...

Never Take Anything PERSONALLY - The Second Agreement personal growth positive psychology spirituality Nov 18, 2019

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...

The Golden Road to Unlimited JOY - The Four Agreements personal growth psychology spirituality Nov 04, 2019

There have been some profound tomes I have enjoyed throughout my life. If I were to pick a comedic work, it might be “Confederacy of Dunces” by John Kennedy Toole*. If I were to pick a novel that transported me to another time and place, it might be “Cannery Row” by John Steinbeck. If I were to pick...
