This is your life. You get one. What will you do? There are infinite problems to solve and infinite ways that you can suffer and you will suffer because that’s an inevitable part of the human experience. But what’ll you do? Will you choose to make it your own or will you decide that the… Continue reading WHAT WILL YOU DO?
WORTHY
Sometimes, it doesn’t matter whether you’re worthy or not. And questioning whether or not you deserve something can bring a lot of unhappiness. Because maybe your situation has nothing to do with how worthy you are. Maybe it’s simply the hand you’ve been dealt. The way out of this is responsibility. Because here you are.… Continue reading WORTHY
FIND THE THING
When you’re having trouble with a project you’re working on, it’s often only one aspect of the project that gives you trouble. Your entire focus zooms in on one sticking point that you can’t get past. If it’s a creative endeavor, and you’re the one doing the creating, it’s usually a good idea to just… Continue reading FIND THE THING
DO ONE THING
In life, do one thing with consistency. Not because that thing is impressive or difficult.

BREATHING AND WALKING EXERCISE
Set your phone down and go for a walk. Don’t bring headphones and leave the phone at home or leave it on silent. As you walk, find a speed that’s comfortable for you and then breath out on one foot and breath in on the other. Breath a bit more heavily than you normally would,… Continue reading BREATHING AND WALKING EXERCISE
A TEACHER
A teacher can’t teach you a skill. A teacher can only show you a route to learn a skill.

And even if you spent twenty years with the teacher then that teacher will… Continue reading A TEACHER
