If we can’t see “how” something can be, we dismiss it from what we think is possible. Wow, that’s pretty pompous! The devil is in the details, for sure, and it’s putting a strangle-hold on your happiness. First, you don’t know shit within the realm of all that the collective “we”, the seven billion of…
Don’t be one of them.
You will encounter people who will try to make you less than you are, offer you less than you deserve and try to get you to settle for less than you want. Don’t be one of them. You may already be in the rut of settling, tolerating and putting up with a job where they…
Where the f*ck is my self-esteem?
There is no one certain age when our self-esteem takes a hike. If only it were even ball park predictable, when it will happen, like learning to walk or losing our first tooth. If only parents could anticipate it and guide us through it. Or if it happens as an adult, if we knew in…

If a problem is sticking around, it isn’t because you don’t know how to solve it, it’s because it’s meeting two or more of your human needs. Chaos, difficulties, constant strife, is not your lot in life. For example, if it seems like you get one (or five) problem solved and another one (or five)…
