Time is opportunity

Time, at its core, is nothing more than opportunity.  History is past opportunity, the future is potential opportunity, but the only opportunity that actually exists is the time you are experiencing right now. 
This leads us to 2 important conclusions:

If the only opportunities that exist are the time that we call now, then there is no need to regret.  […]

Why write?

The world is full of books, papers, journals and now, web sites. 
Q. What sort of a fool would say that we need more? 
A. The sort of fool who is sick of seeing the same copy-cat writing produced over and over again.  Can’t we do better than that?
The trap is that we believe that there is […]

Consumption vs Production - you are what you eat

Most of us live in highly advanced communities.  We live and die with technology, speed and precision that seems to distance us from the rest of our world’s plants and animals.  This is exacerbated by the fact that approximately half of us live in dense cities.  We are much more likely to exist without obvious relationships with  plants […]

Consumption- taking lives since 4000BC

Consumption was historically the term used for the disease we know as Tuberculosis.  It was called this because it was (and still is) a terrible disease that seems to consume people from within.  How ironic, that consumption as we know it today, does exactly the same thing. 
Today when we use the word consumption we are talking about […]

Why your goals don’t work?

So it happened again.  You longed for that job and someone else landed it.  You wanted to win but you came in second.  You set your goal and did what you decided had to be done, but it didn’t work.  What is wrong with these goals?  Why don’t they work? 
The problem comes down to deciding what is […]

Viral does not equal valuable

Viral concepts travel faster than you or I could.  They seem to bounce from one hand to the next, one brain to the next, faster than comprehension can keep up.  They are fueled by the forward button and a thumbs up.  Their reach is only limitted by the network that they travel in. 
Every one will […]

What is self development anyway?

Self development is a catch-all phrase, that has been used and misused for all sorts of purposes.  People use it interchangeably with self help, self improvement, popular psychology, personal development and a few other less popular terms.  Pedantics aside, what we are talking about here is pursuing your potential or pursuing a series of goals. 
Self Development has become […]

If your life was for sale would you buy it?

 
Location, location, location - Bargain hunters take note.  Foreclosure forces sale of perfect Fixer-upper.  Run down, but with plenty of potential.  In need of TLC.  Apply with in.  Price on Application
When you buy something like a house, you are faced with a mass of different choices.  You are forced to decide what is most important […]

Every Action is an Interaction

The fracturing of traditional family and social networks can make us feel independent, self contained and alone.  The increased connectivity and contact-ability that we experience online, makes us aware that every action that we make actually involves other people.   What do we do with this apparent paradox?
Our Western world seems to be heading further down the road of individualism and self […]

“You’ve met too many people like you”

As far as I can see, this world is populated by more than 6.6 billion species of humans, each species with only one member.  While scientists would like to clump us all together under one name - Homo Sapiens - it seems like there is more difference, than similarities between us.  This diversity is wonderful but […]
