尼采：那些殺不死你的將使你更強壯
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Having only 1/2 of your seat to yourself because you’re sitting next to a moderately obese man on a freakin long plane ride home is not really an ideal situation to try and reflect on the last semester, but here we are.
If you want to remain relevant and advance your career in today’s global marketplace, you have to fill in as an enabler of business development and innovation. Outstanding amongst other ways to do this is to adopt an…
Acceptance is The Path to Freedom
Moving towards negative emotions and sensations robs them of power.
Nik, Love this, “When you’re not thinking about how great you are or how great you want to be, you can focus on taking care of your own shortcomings, rather than pointing out others’ and silently judging them in your…
Prakhar, Great Read!

If you’ve had the perfect childhood, and you’re living the perfect life with perfect friends, a perfect partner and a perfect job, don’t read this.
I’m a 90’s kid so I grew up watching Nickelodeon, playing outside a lot, and listening to Sean Combs back when he was just Puff Daddy.
Today I decided I should pick up photography.
Good preparation is half the battle. You can shine at a business meeting even if it is your first. It is always about practice and how well you are prepared. With each following meeting, you will have more and more experience and manage the next meeting even better. But, where to…
The stock I bought kept going down.
We all have memories of some of the firsts in our lives.

When was the last time someone told you: “Oh, sorry. I’m talking too fast. Let me slow down, so you can understand.” ? Once, twice. Most likely, never. Why?
Whether you’re hustling to hit a year-end quota, hosting distant relatives from across…
What perfect timing — You publishing this today I mean.
I’m about halfway through DEEP WORK, and I’m currently in the process of restructuring my days so I can more easily focus on what I need to do. To cut distractions.
I actually sent some texts while reading this article. They weren’t easy texts…
Thank you Mike and thanks for sharing your story! And yes, keep living like you are 20 or whatever age you like!
I was on a 30 day gratitude challenge this October and the challenge changed my life for the better. I felt more…

In April of 2017 I decided to walk away and remove myself from the Merry Go Round of Madness called the inner…
Tim, this statement has always struck me.
“As the Zen proverb says: To understand nothing takes time”.
How can nothing be understood in time which is full of wandering thoughts.
I admire that you have meditated for those many days in a row.
Nik, this is great to ponder, “What we do know is, if you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original”.
I love it!

Three Quick Lessons from 2017, and My Focus for 2018:
Lesson 1: Seek Discipline, Not Motivation
I heard of the concept of seeking discipline over motivation in an interview and it immediately grabbed me. I am all too familiar with the cycle of starting a project full of motivation, eager to continue…
My legs are shaking,I’m so excited,My brain is working,I feel ignited.

Boy, am I a sucker for gadgets and slick marketing. If you looked around our home, you’d find an array of technological brilliance that my wife would call…excessive. Who doesn’t need a talking cylinder that plays…
The theatre of my emotions.My feelings are my actors.Your mind is the sound system,And words are my props.
The internet is the greatest invention of all time, but it is making us stupid. It is a place where one can find…
At first, the anticipation was enough to keep me going. From all the research on art schools I did (which meant I watched a lot of video blogs) I had unknowingly put on rose coloured glasses to school. The orientation was fine, as with how any school orientation would be. However…

What Has 2017 Meant to Me?
That made me stop and think for a moment. 2017 has been an incredible year for me. I have been pretty much housebound and wheelchair-bound for many years. I have been counseling and ministering healing and deliverance to God’s people for some 35 years despite all kinds of afflictions and now I…
I’ll stick my neck out and go contrarian here: I would much rather give my neighbor’s movie a try than sit through yet another Disney movie. If you have seen one, you have seen them all, however slickly professional they are. I have seen movies on YouTube, made by amateurs, that beat the hell out of anything Disney has produced in the past twenty…
Counselors today are working with increasingly diverse populations that have diverse sets of needs. Honing a solid set of essential skills makes for an effective, successful mental health practitioner.
Kyle, I like these thoughts, “You will never become the person you want to be if you don’t continually practice and shape yourself”.
Non c’est non.
C’est en multipliant les dates que j’ai remarqué que beaucoup de femmes vivent un stress permanent qui peut vite devenir intense et perturbant.
Anthony, thank you for sharing this!

I am a mother of two small boys. One is 17 months and my other son is 5 years old. I am also in my late 20’s and wonder about what I am still going to do with my life. I love video games so I thought for a while maybe I should go into journalism and video game videos…
I was lying in bed the other night after a fairly tough day, and in a moment of…
Stephen, Love it when you say this,
“Don’t let cynicism prevent you from pursuing your dream. Surround yourself with people who believe in you.”
I belive life is too short not to!
Are you a workaholic? Do you love what you do? Do you enjoy meeting others online? If you answered “YES” to any of these questions then this post is for you!
Jessica, great thoughts, “So let’s make a commitment to not fall into this trap and just embrace being “the beginner” because what’s the alternative? It’s either that or be okay with staying in your comfort zone always and forever.”
