It’s about creating a diet and exercise plan that fits your lifestyle, not someone else’s.
I’m a big fan of doing one thing at a time. This approach is powerful because, among other reasons, it works well at different “zoom levels” in life.
If we zoom in, the one-thing-at-a-time tactic can help us get things done more quickly, with less stress. (This is the…

Why do we measure our worth by what we have that another doesn’t?
Is our fundamental trait a disdain for one another?
I’m stuck. I’ve been stuck for a week or two now.
Gambling Man,
The odds not in my favor, dealing from a stacked deck, wondering why I come up short, oh, what the heck.
One thing that is common amongst all of us is that we’ll experience difficult times in our lives. The degree of difficulty will vary, however each experience will challenge us in some way.
this will be easier if you read it aloud. That’s the intent the spaces between sections should be moments of silence (some perhaps very long). If you are an actor and would like permission to perform please contact me.- SF

It is a good sign, and we’re fine really. Things are always good between us, just weird sometimes. I especially find it weird that we could ever feel so awkward with each other.

Millions of people are still not able to get basic needs to fulfill their day to day needs. A lot of children died prematurely because of lack of medical assistance and yet we call ourselves as the torch bearer of 21st digital century.
I grew up being surrounded by people who told me “you can’t achieve that”, and at times I felt like I was my only fan. I had people constantly tell me “I don’t think it’s going to work out”, and then saw it hold to be true. I let other people define my success. I let other people decide…

Never Ever Change Yourself for Others!

Great article Steve. As a mentor and coach I’ve always been surprised how, at times, young managers and founders ignore advice which could really help them either avoid mistakes, save money, time or all of the above.
