One of the things I find most frustrating about myself is how I get excited about something, enthusiastically declare it to the world then a few months or years later come out and say "I'm not doing that anymore".

Intentions are essential, strategy is not. Most of us go through life thinking we need to have a good strategy. We worry about things like what career to choose, when to get married, how many kids to have and how we’re going to lead next week’s business meeting. It’s almost entirely unnecessary. What we really need is […]

I love talking about open relationships, and no one understands them. So are you some sort of hedonist? Does that mean you’re not really serious? Why get married then? Sometimes it can be overwhelming, because once someone finds out you’re in an open relationship it’s all they want to talk about. But I don’t mind. I […]

It ain’t easy bein’ an ego. Every day, our fragile little ego innocently seeks validation, approval, a sense of importance, and then what happens? Our “higher” self catches on and ruins the whole thing. What a party pooper. In my twenties I was having a great time being a player, having meaningless sex with women […]

I have a friend named John. John is a captivating public speaker, and shows it in this viral video about finding your passion. People think John is an expert at passion, they think he has special knowledge on the subject and that he can teach them something.

Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness. ~ Mark Twain What if every child growing up in the United States visited 40 different countries before they graduated high school? This is an impossible dream I’ve had for several years, so I’ve decided to share it because it’s too good not to. It’s an idea that was born […]

My Mom was crying when I called her.

I woke up this morning to a text message that simply said "please call". That means something serious has happened.

A few minutes ago I was editing the audio for my podcast Darken the Page. I was spending more time on it than I planned, making tiny changes that no one else would notice, and judging myself. “I’m such a perfectionist”, I thought. Then I noticed something interesting. I enjoy making these little edits. I love the fact that everything […]

I have good news and bad news. The good news is how you see the world is totally accurate. The bad news is that also applies for every single person you’ve ever met. All perspectives are true, but they are not the whole truth. In fact, the whole truth may be so magnificent and vast […]
