The first night, I was very nervous that I would over sleep & miss this train. Six months ago, I never would have thought I’d be on this train every day. It’s a change that will bring my life much more abundance (spiritual, emotional, & financial) six months from now. The changes I’m making areContinue reading “You Can Shape Your World”

Posting Every Day Will Help.
I read many of your posts. I comment where I will be most helpful. I read the comments on your posts, and many are helpful. I read the comments that are hurtful and, they make me sad. I read the posts that receive no comments, and that makes me sad too. When I was suicidal,Continue reading “Posting Every Day Will Help.”
Finding A Solution
I went from being the most ‘stuck’ a person could possibly be, to finding a solution to every obstacle that comes my way. How did I do that? Let’s start by working backwards.

To Help You Find Hope, Opportunity, & Joy.
In 1997, if you told me that there was hope, I would not have listened. I would have shrugged you off in any way possible. I didn’t think that anyone could help me escape a life of despair.

How To Make Friends With Failure
I want to share something with you which I’ve learned from more four-hundred consecutive daily posts on this blog. Many friends and family asked me, in different ways, ‘Why? Why do you blog? How many people are reading it? Who is reading it? What is the purpose? What is the end game?’ In over oneContinue reading “How To Make Friends With Failure”
Overrule Yourself
When I was young I was afraid. I was afraid to question authority, to talk to girls, to approach strangers, to try new things, and to be uncool. Once when I was about ten or eleven years old, I stood waiting in one place for so long for someone to come and get me thatContinue reading “Overrule Yourself”
What’s A Website?
My four-year-old daughter asked me that recently, when she heard me tell my wife that I was working on one. I was so glad to be able to answer that for her. I said, deliberately: “A website can be anything you want it to be.”
