Bite Size Wise

In this episode, a situation at my workplace has me pondering short term thinking vs long term thinking. I know which one I think is more effective and hopefully I can convince you to see it the same way.

In this episode, I talk about an idea I overheard today when two software engineers were talking about a computer programming problem. Funny how life gives you interesting ideas in the least interesting places.

In this episode, I talk about how Superbowl Sunday and Olympic Games reveal who did the work, who put in the extra reps, who put in the extra hours of preparation so they could be ready to see, and seize, opportunities. There's a HUGE lesson there for all of us.

In this episode, I talk about the fact that we are constantly giving our consent, our permission, our stamp of approval to results in our lives, even if we don't want those results. And most of the time, we are giving our consent because we just don't use our power of consent wisely.

In this episode I talk about adopting a slightly new perspective on goals and discipline and how this new perspective is making a very big difference for me in creating the results I want to create this year.

Today's episode gives me a chance to encourage you to take that step on faith. Launch your podcast. Write your book. Write your blog post and hit the Publish button. Don't listen to any naysayer. In fact, when someone challenges you on your step toward your dream, just look at them and say, "Ok. And...?"  And know that someone believes in you! (Hint...it's me!)

In this episode, we wrap up the Eightfold Path by talking about "Right Concentration" through meditation. We'll revisit the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path in the future, but for now, this brings this short series of episodes to the conclusion.

In this episode, I talk about the Buddha's "Right Awareness" idea. And try to make this a little different, and a little simpler, than the other 43-kajillion mindfulness things out there.

In this episode, I discuss the idea of Right Diligence and Effort. In other words, doing the right things for the right reasons. This is the 6th part of the Eightfold Path as taught by the historical figure we call The Buddha.

Continuing the series on the Buddha's Eightfold Path to Awakening, today I talk about Right/Proper/Wholesome Livelihood. In other words, how do you earn your living? Is there a right way and a wrong way? According to the Buddha, there IS.
