Living life is a creative act toward an unknown destination. We are armed only with concepts, thoughts, and our own curated vision to guide us. Not unlike setting sail into uncharted waters in search of a new world, courage stamps our ticket, and history records our life’s outcomes. Hopes […]
Stay out of your head, it’s a bad neighborhood. Notice how discussions we have in our heads (with ourselves) are circular? They also can tend in the direction of worst case scenarios, at times with those thoughts accelerating. There exists a primary mechanism within us built for survival. The […]
Having means nothing, if we do not know what to do with what we have. In other words, it is not what we have that matters, but rather, what we DO with what we have. I wonder how many of us wakes up each morning, driven to do better, […]
In the matter of choosing a shortcut in life, or purposefully taking the long way, do not shy from the long way. It is this route that delivers for us. In a world that moves at the speed of light, we are growing increasingly unfamiliar with anything that does […]
“The best choice, is no choice”, said the Yogi.
We are stronger than we think, and certainly stronger than we act. Our window to the world is filled with a never ending array of options, and an absence of discipline. A suspect formula.

The yogic interpretation of detachment is to do with gaining mastery over the things we care most about in life, without our being defined or entrapped by efforts to attain them. It is a liberating commitment toward reaching […]
