Author’s Note: Nothing that I’m about to suggest is fact, it’s a framework to see life from a different perspective. Before you were born, you were nothing. You existed without a body, a mind or a life. You chose to come to Earth because you wanted to experience this thing called “life”. Before you arrived, […]

Consider that life is like an art class. This class has no beginning, no end and the kids come and go. When you arrive, the teacher hands you a blank canvas and says, you can create whatever you want, you can have all the materials you want, there are no grades, no expectations and no […]

Maybe you’re not so special. I get it. Everyone is different, everyone has their own gift and everyone is a unique manifestation of the divine blah blah blah… that’s also true, but sometimes we take this too far. Lately, this idea of two people being “twin flames” keeps popping up on my Facebook news feed. I decided […]

 Fucking Special appeared first on Boodaism.

I love walking through automatic doors, then right before they open raising my hands and pretending I’m opening them with special powers. Isn’t that fun? Isn’t it fun to pretend like you’re in control?  We go through life thinking that we are in the drivers seat, thinking we are in control and that everything happens because […]

We often set goals when we are not genuinely inspired to do something. Isn’t that interesting? To me, this statement says everything I need to know about how goal setting can be counter-productive to productivity. Goals need to exist when we’re forcing ourselves to do something we resist. If a goal is created for the purpose of motivating […]

It was just past midnight on the Greek island of Naxos when I awoke to bits of sand hitting my face and cold air blowing in off the Aegean Sea. I quickly sat up, looked around and began to panic. The thing I had been afraid of this entire trip had just happened. That night I had […]

How do you know when it’s the right time to break up with someone? The confusion around this question has caused me lots of frustration. As a single guy, it stopped me from really loving someone deeply, because I was afraid of getting stuck. In relationships, my uncertainty led to anxiety about how to deal with times […]

Why am I not succeeding? For many years, this question was the launching point of my work as a life-coach, and I had a great answer to it. You don’t want it bad enough. It was a fun moment. I would launch into an inspirational speech and say things like… If you wanted it bad enough you’d […]

Hi. My name is Dave, and I’m a scale-a-holic. I can’t stop optimizing. The funny thing is, I never thought it was a problem, because everyone I know does it too. Who doesn’t love efficiency, right? Read a book in five hours instead of ten? Sign me up. Brush my teeth in 30 seconds instead of 2 minutes with the […]

What makes a great speaker? What is the difference between someone who is so compelling they easily hold your attention, and someone who is so boring that it’s a fight to keep your mind from wandering? It’s not their body language, it’s not how much they know and it’s not their charisma. It’s something we all do without realizing […]
