Can you focus your attention for long?
Can you point your focus and attention where you want or do you find your mind swinging from one thought to another like a drunken monkey swinging from vine to vine? Controlling our minds is an essential component to living our greatest lives and becoming our best selves. You simply…
Bottomless needs got you down?
Did you ever feel like you are doing all you can do for others and it's not enough for some? When it comes to charity or helping people out, or workload, it never ends - there's always a need greater than what you can give in a day. If you…
Effort is your responsibility
You've got to try. If you don't try, then you won't learn and you won't accomplish anything. Unsure of yourself? Don't feel your worthy or ready? Is that why you aren't trying hard? If you don't give it a good effort, then you are holding yourself back - you can't…
Happiness – the purpose of life

When it's over, it's over. But it's not over now. Now is the time. Are you happy? If not, is it because of your poor thinking and loss of self-awareness in a consensus world? Or is it because you have made poor choices, put up with what you shouldn't, or…

Long time subscriber, longer time friend
I believe I have been a subscriber from the beginning! Time moves by so swiftly, but time growing and learning with friends is time well spent.
This is so true. Even in my close relationships when visiting the cell phone is right there clamoring, dinging, buzzing, singing for our attention. People fall away from the conversation and the head drops to the tyranny of the plethora of distractions. Goal 2021, renewing my focus in meaningful healthier places.
Good morning Larry, I am not sure how many years I have been reading your blog but I love it, and it sure makes me feel like we are friends. Did you say hi to your knee? Merry Christmas!!!
