If I’m just being my honest, authentic self and somebody judges or criticizes me about it — that’s on them, not me. Yes, I’m a little weird. I have quirks. I’m a dork. I like being a little playful, silly, eccentric, and goofy at times. I’m totally straight and serious other times. I’m an odd…
I just found out that a friend I knew in college passed away. We weren’t that close. He was more of a mutual friend, that I occasionally met and saw through other friends. But he was still one of my favorite people. He had a great energy, personality, he loved everybody… you could feel it….
If traumatic experiences made you stronger, kinder, and more empathetic, then everyone who went through one would turn out that way too. But we know better. Some do, yes. But some get emotionally stuck in their past. Some become victims or blamers. Some become meaner or harder. Trauma affects everyone, but in different ways. So…
These are actually all entirely possible. 1. Invest in income-producing assets (stocks that pay dividends, rental properties, etc). You can generate passive and portfolio income.

To my entrepreneur/self-employed friends who may feel a little burnt out or tired: it’s okay to rest. Take time to rest. As much as you need. You’ll know you’re done resting when you have energy and inspiration again. You’re an entrepreneur. You work hard. You work long hours. You take big risks. You face big…
So I’m going in for minor surgery tomorrow. Doc expects it’ll be simple and easy. But they may put me under general anesthesia. There’s a 99.9% chance everything will be totally fine, but in the 0.01% chance that I don’t wake up (and sorry if this is morbid; truth is, any of us can die…
Is there a silent, constant, unconscious question driving you? Deep within your subconscious mind, there may be a question that’s driving you. You may not even be aware of it at all. It’s probably not something you consciously think about much — and yet, it has a powerful influence of your life. It’s a “question”…
It’s 1:26 AM and I can’t fall asleep. I’ve tried meditating. I’ve tried eating a little food. I tried just laying there with my eyes closed. Nope, nada. My brain and body are tired and ready to sleep — but my heart’s nagging me about something. Something I can’t quite consciously grasp. It’s there, just…
My life came to an abrupt halt recently. I mean like an all-stop, sudden, hard, hit-a-wall, sixty-to-zero in 5 seconds flat kind of halt. It left me feeling very lost, confused, and a little scared. Here’s what happened: Go-Go-Go-GO!!! This isn’t the first time I’ve lived in Los Angeles. I first moved here back in…
