Life Lessons

Margin

Event to event. Hectic. Fast-paced. Schedule conflicts. Pack it all in. Tired. Running on empty.

Resting. Slowing down. Contemplation.

Margin.

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to have margin in my life for the last few months…

Learning From Weakness

You don’t learn life lessons from the happiest place on earth, you learn them through the tribulations and pains we all go through.

Today, we drove through Sacramento heading to Fresno (yes, it’s hot) and it’s been about a year since we last did traveled to…

What is Support Not?

Odd way of phrasing it, I know. While it’s helpful to know what Support is, it’s also helpful to know what it is not.

This may feel a little dark — but stay with me because I believe it’s worth it. Whatever you do in life, remember that we follow, obey, seek after…

Why Am I Invested in Support? Why Am I in Support for the Long Haul?

I believe in a better world. I believe in helping people, whether that’s to maximize their potential (e.g., personal trainer) or as a healing process (e.g., therapy). We live in community and need each other. I…

The god of Efficiency

The god of efficiency. I’ve worshiped at this altar for years. You, likely, have also. Efficiency is good. It is valid and important, but it’s not the end. We can breed horses to be faster, but why not build a car instead?

What Satisfies You?

I’ve witnessed in my own life — and the lives of many, many others — that when we find what brings us true joy and fulfillment…it’s a splendid union of happiness and purpose. Over…

Don’t Let Your Mind Go…Or It Will

You can see those people that want to keep their mind sharp, and others that just slowly fade…

Disappointments Lead Us Into Deeper Depths

When disappointments strike, it’s often true what doesn’t kill you will make you…
