Your schedule is your friend. (Pierce Brosnan is not.) If you have something important to do, and you haven’t been getting it done, there’s a very good chance it is not on your schedule. Don’t wonder. Don’t wait for that time to magically appear. Get it on your schedule. Let others who need to knowContinue reading “Your Schedule”

The ‘About To Do’ Part
If you’re about to do something, and it feels like it’s going to be rushed, in that moment of hesitation (the ‘about to do’ part), guess what? You’re right. Trust your gut. You probably should not do it. Stop. Do nothing. Don’t squeeze one more ten-minute thing into the next five minutes. Do one lessContinue reading “The ‘About To Do’ Part”
Pierce Brosnan Is Not My Friend.
Even though I love most of his movies, and have seen many of them multiple times, I have to remind myself that Pierce Brosnan is not my friend. He’s not doing my health any favors when I stay up until 1:30 in the morning watching November Man, Goldeneye, or Lawnmower Man for the thirteenth time.Continue reading “Pierce Brosnan Is Not My Friend.”

The True Gift
“If you’re always focused on the goal, then you will never arrive.” – Sam Harris That’s true not only with regards to your health, but everything else. Your health is a journey, as I’ve written many times before. Whether you weight XXX pounds or can do XXX pull-ups, there is no finish line. Don’t missContinue reading “The True Gift”
No Thinker.
To clarify yesterday’s post, in which I stated that your ‘self’ does not exist: There is no thinker behind the thoughts in your head. You are not separate from the totality of existence. You are a part of experience, along with everyone & everything else. It is not ‘you’ versus the rest of the world.Continue reading “No Thinker.”
