Are you better?

Are you better today than you were yesterday?

A better spouse, better child, better parent, better employee, better employer, better leader, better person, ...

Are you better today than you were yesterday?  Are you better today than you were Monday?  How about last Thursday?

If yes, find what you are doing well that is creating that progress, and do more of it.  If no, find what you are doing that is creating that stagnation, and do less of it.

Starting right now.

Make every day count.

Spending Time - Thoughts and Journal Prompts for the Week of 07 April

How Are You Spending Your Time? Time is the most precious resource we have. It's limited, it's non-renewable, and once it's gone, you can never get it back. Yet so many of us fail to use our time intentionally and consciously. We let the days, weeks, and years slip by, frittering away the hours on activities that don't truly enrich our lives or move us towards our goals.  Take a moment to reflect on how you've spent your time lately. How much of it was dedicated to pursuits that are meaningful and fulfilling to you? How much was wasted on mindless scrolling, binge-watching, or other empty time sinks?

Being intentional about how you use your time is one of the most important things you can do to live a satisfied life without regrets. Regularly assess your priorities and schedule your days accordingly. Minimize time-wasters and distra...

What Are You Chasing? - Thoughts and Journal Prompts for the Week of 02 June 2024

We all have goals, dreams, and aspirations that drive us forward each day. Whether it's a prestigious career, financial success, finding love, or simply being happy and healthy, we're all chasing something. But have you ever stopped to really think about what it is you're chasing and why? Too often, we can get caught up in society's definition of achievement and success. We strive for promotions, more money, a bigger house, or the latest status symbols like fancy cars or designer clothes. And there's nothing inherently wrong with wanting those things. But if they become the sole pursuit in your life at the expense of what really matters, you may eventually find yourself feeling unsatisfied and unfulfilled. The wealthiest people on Earth have everything money can buy, and yet many of them admit to being deeply unhappy. Why? Because they were so focused on accumulating wealth and possessions, the more meaningful things in life fell by the wayside - their relationships...

Be Unreasonable

When so much around us seems to celebrate mediocrity and instant gratification, there's power in being unreasonable. Not in the sense of being difficult or irrational, but in pushing beyond what others consider normal or necessary. As examples, let's explore how being unreasonably generous and self-disciplined can transform your life and impact others. Extreme Generosity: Most people give within their comfort zone. They donate a small percentage of their income or volunteer occasionally. But what if you pushed beyond that? What if you committed to giving 10% of your income to charitable causes? How about 20%? Or what if you dedicated one full day each week to community service? This level of generosity might seem absurd to many, but it can lead to profound personal growth and societal change. By stretching your capacity for giving, you'll likely find that you need less than you thought. You may discover a deeper sense of purpose and connection to your community. Extraordina...
