    There are a few certainties in life: it will end, you will pay taxes, and things won’t always go your way. We can’t control any of these, but we can control how we respond to them, and that’s where resilience becomes essential. When things don’t go as planned, we face a choice. Either fold like…

  • Wrestling Your Limitations

    Wrestling your limitations came up in something I listened to, and it sparked some thoughts. Is it like the WWE, where I lunge at my procrastination and body slam it to the ground? Or is it like wrestling with your kid, where you find all their tickle spots? Anyway, we all have limitations because we…

    Here’s a funny tidbit about the past. It’s always lurking; at times, you cannot shake it, you always live with it, and you can never change it. I believe we can all agree on that, as I don’t use the words ‘always’ and ‘never’ lightly. You’re told to forget about it, learn from it, or…

  • Admitting Your Mistakes

    It’s hard to admit you made mistakes. You screwed up big-time and pissed people off, particularly those close to you. It is hard to forgive yourself and others. It’s hard to admit to yourself that you need help. It’s difficult to say I’m sorry. However, doing so, as difficult as it is to accept responsibility…

    June is Men’s Mental Health Month, and while I’m not sure of what it all entails, any initiative that raises awareness about mental health is a win. We’re all familiar with the male stereotype of being the strong, silent type, where they endure hardship and keep their emotions bottled up inside. I don’t know when…

  • When To Put Yourself First

    When to put yourself first is a selfish title, isn’t it? Often, putting yourself first means someone or something is not first. When we always get what we want, push our way with others, or refuse to share, we’re acting selfishly. I’m not sure about you, but when someone is always selfish, I have a…

  • Is Your Why Important (To You)

    Being a curious kid, I would always bother my parents with the question of why.  Parents: Clean your room. Me: Why? Parents: Because I said so.  Parents: Have you done your homework? Me: Why? It’s boring, and I cannot be bothered. Parents: You need me to get the magic wand (bamboo stick) for your bum?…

    Around two weeks ago, I watched a news story about a 17-year-old autistic child who was gunned down by four police officers in his front yard. The 911 caller reported that he thought was drunk, acting erratically, and holding a knife. The police arrived with only that information, and when they saw him still acting…

  • The Pain Of Change

    Change happens when the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the pain of changing. I had no choice when faced with change, so this rings true. It’s similar regarding working out, especially in the beginning stages or trying to keep it up. It’s the pain of putting your muscles and lungs through discomfort.…

    How often would you have, could have, and should have entered your thoughts? Me, probably too many times to count, and I’d imagine you may be in the same boat. Looking back, you will recall times when you made some whopper mistakes and wish you could have or should have made better decisions. I would…
