Steering your life in your favor
Life is full of decisions. Days are too. A decision is an intersection. Go this way or that way. Having goals is important. Know what outcome you want and where you want to end up. Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor. They tell you…

Doing what you love doesn't mean it's fun all the time
We hear "do what you are passionate about" and "do what you love". Sounds good. (However when it comes to making a living, what you are passionate about might best stay a hobby, depending on what it is.) Often doing what you love means doing what you are good at. …

Control the inputs into your life
I wrote about this on January 23, 2015. It's a really important idea. What if you had crappy ingredients - could you bake a good cake? What about the inputs into your life? Food? Fluid? Sensory inputs - what you read, watch and listen to? Voices - friends, people around…
