Actually, You Can

Many of us follow sports to some degree or another. Sports don't exist in the absence of rules. Have you ever stopped to evaluate what rule book you're living by? The rules of engagement we adhere to are governing our experience of the world and the people we care about. It's time to take a closer look at our definition of how to win.

It seems like a good old fashioned letter is more and more a thing of the past. But I'm here to declare that letters, particularly ones you never send, can be very therapeutic and useful.

I recently participated a new podcast with my friends Loran and B. It's called To Whom It May Concern (unsent letters). I was surprised at just how healing it was to write a letter to my deceased sister Charity, who passed away while I was serving a mission in 2001.

Why is room service so amazing? Breakfast in bed. Lunch in bed. Dinner in bed. I'm all for it. Well, my lower brain is, anyway.

The thing about room service is it checks all the boxes of our lower brains directives:

1. Expend the least amount of personal energy possible.

2. Avoid pain.
