The last few days have turned my “I want” to much more of an “I will”. The deeper I get into Jen Sincero’s “You Are A Badass” the more I realize how unfocused I had been with simply considering my wants. Don’t get me wrong, it has been a valuable and possibly essential part of this … Continue reading Day 25 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Time to go on a tangent and indulge in a dream… I see my art in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City! How do I get there?

Odds & Ends – An Exercise in Gratitude
During a recent conversation with a close friend, I was lamenting my lot in life and dramatically sharing my existential crisis in regards to that perfectly defeatist question: “What am I doing with my life?” Thank goodness he didn’t slap me in the face and scream in my face to snap out of it! He … Continue reading Odds & Ends – An Exercise in Gratitude

Time to stop and reflect on who I see myself as… Today a friend came over and shared what he has been building and doing lately. It’s amazing.

Do you ever get to the point that you forget where your inspirations come from? The other day, I woke up with an idea.

Day 20 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
Let’s have a little fun today, shall we? I want to have the most absurd job imaginable, even if it’s only for a short period of time. In fact, I want to have a series of super-absurd jobs that last about a week each, for a whole year! Then I can just inundate my LinkedIn … Continue reading Day 20 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Today, I want to inspire someone to pursue their dreams, no matter what those dreams consist of. So, today I’m talking about what so many of us confuse with our dreams or our purpose, and that is the pursuit of success. As always, this is my experience and my understand of all this, and I … Continue reading Day 19 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It

Day 18 - January 29th, 2017 Have I ever told you about my “Rule of Three”? When curious things show up three times I stop, listen carefully, and try to figure out what the hell it all means. This practice has helped me take some interesting chances and accomplish some things I’m quite proud of. … Continue reading Day 18 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
Day 17 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
It’s possible I haven’t said everything I wanted about telling stories yet. Stories can be told in many ways and about so many things. Of course this realization comes to me from another Ted talk. Please take a few minutes to listen to Giles Duley’s transformation from observer to storyteller, and how he discovered he … Continue reading Day 17 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
Day 16 – What I Want To Do- 30 Days to Clearly Defining It
Now that I’m not watching as much TV, I find that the conversations & readings of that day come more readily to mind during day dreams, whereas they were only part of my sleepy dreams before… I haven’t been very good at remembering dreams in the past.
