The Only Way to Truly Fail is to Never Try
There is no such thing as failure, only less than desirable results. Surely this is a true statement. Continue reading
Is There Really Such a Thing as Luck? Are Some People “Luckier” Than Others?
There are two types of things that happen that people commonly refer to as luck, we’ll call the first “blind” luck and the other “self-created luck”. Let me define each of those for you.
Blind Luck
Blind luck is essentially, luck that is unexpected or comes from nowhere. This can also be thought of as a miracle. People oftentimes confuse blind luck for self-created luck. You would be surprised after reading this how much stuff that people place into the “blind luck” category isn’t really luck. Continue reading
Self Education is the Key to Success for Everything
Awhile ago I read a quote from Jim Rohn that went like this: “Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”
I thought this was very profound. This seemed to be the exact opposite of everything I had been taught in school (go figure). All through school the mantra was, “Get good grades, go to college, graduate, and get a good paying job”. Continue reading
Relationship Follies: Filling the Void in Your Life
Lots of things can go wrong in a relationship but only if the relationship is between two people who are not “complete” people and rely or depend on others for their energy fulfillment, or to fill their voids. These people feel something in life is missing from their lives and that they cannot be complete without fulfilling whatever that may be. Continue reading
The Key to Understanding Other People – Visual Misrepresentation Will Fuck You Over
Shakespeare once said “Hear the meaning within the world.” Whether or not you want to translate what he meant into “understand what the meaning is of every word you say” or you want to go with “listen to what the word actually sounds like, because some words come off as harsh while others come off smoother, essentially setting a mood from just the sounds the word makes” doesn’t matter. I think as far as communication is concerned we will rewrite his quote to say. Continue reading
Just Do “It” or “It” Will Never Happen – There’s Never a Right Time
Everyone you meet has goals, hopes, dreams, and desires. Very few will take the first step in making these things a reality and even fewer will stick around to watch it materialize.
There’s always a “list” of things that needs to be done or a time when it will be appropriate to achieve these things. What most people have to learn the hard way is that there is never going to be a right place or right time for anything until you decide so. Honestly, conditions will not be significantly different in a week or in a year from today. It is through this illusion of believing and hoping that dreams are crushed. If you continue to do the same things you’re doing now, you’ll continue to get the same results that you are getting now. Continue reading
Congress Agrees to Defend the Constitution In The Same Manner I Accept an Itunes End User License Agreement
Does the title convey the message to you clearly? If not, picture this:
You’ve just updated a program such as iTunes, it doesn’t have to be iTunes, any program will work. Before you can use the program it wants you to read this massive End User License Agreement and then click that you agree.
If you’re like me, you probably don’t read the agreement at all. Some people do, some people skim it, but most of us, I think it’s safe to say, just scroll right to the end and hit agree. Continue reading

Be Better Than You Were Yesterday – The Path to Enlightenment
You don’t have to be the greatest at any one thing. You don’t have to be an Olympian, you don’t have to play in the NBA, and you don’t have to win a Grammy. You don’t have to make a million dollars a year, drive the most expensive cars, or wear the nicest clothing money can buy. You don’t! Continue reading
