🪚 Progress at the workbench
Everything begins at the workbench.
😅 Hope, grit, and five years of freelancing
Much success can be attributed to mentality and attitude.
🫳 Let go to overcome obstacles
If the obstacle you’re facing is no longer important then it’s also no longer an obstacle.
🥱 The benefits of boredom
Boredom isn’t an enemy to success. In fact, we might be smart to set aside some time each day to be bored.
🇺🇸 America first
I believe in an America-first agenda.
🏃‍♂️ Why chasing happiness might be making you miserable
Efforts to relieve unhappiness are often fruitless, and in fact, can make things worse.
⛈️ Life’s unpredictable forecast
To say that you have predicability is akin to believing that the sky is green. A curveball can come at any moment.
🌲 A chilly walk in nature
I went for a nice walk in the woods today.
🏄 Reality Transurfing
Self-help books are all the same, but you only need to read one anyway.
😅 A no-frills approach
No expectations. No pressure. You’re just trying it out.
🏠 Building back better?
It's like saying, "Sorry your dog died. Now you can get a better one."
