You Gotta Love Yourself First! (or it all falls apart)
I get it. We all crave and deserve the warm, fuzzy and happy feelings that come when someone acknowledges or appreciates something we did or are going to do. It feels NICE! But too many of us do STUFF for all the wrong reasons. We do stuff because we want SOMETHING in return… smiles, hugs, likes, love, respect, appreciation, chocolate almonds etc. But this method of give-to-receive is a sham. It’s a broken and inefficient way of doing things for longterm growth and prosperity for all. You see my friend, we really gotta love ourselves first… UNCONDITIONALLY. Because if we don’t, everything falls apart. When we build or start to do anything using this love-seeking model we come across a big problem. We depend on a very shaky and unreliable system...

Read MoreA Single Man’s Marketing Plan

Read More8 Ways to Overcome Self-Worth Issues and Reclaim Happiness.
Feeling lonely? Miserable? Depressed? Well let me tell you something buddy, you’re not alone. I can relate to how you feel (and think a lot of others can too). Now if you didn’t already know, I’ve been traveling the globe-soaking up knowledge, developing new life skills and working on some pretty fun stuff! and lately… I’ve been feeling PRETTY DAMN GOOD. But It Wasn’t Always This Way… Before hitting the road, I left my job, sold my stuff, said goodbye to my bros, broke up with my girl, and ate my last box of my chocolate almonds (insert sad face here). After letting go, I was left with nothing. I was absolutely EMPTY and ALONE. … and as it turns out, I couldn’t stand what I was left...
Read MoreDon’t Resist. Just Go With It…
Don’t resist. Just go with it… by David Bocking Don’t resist, that’s a big one to remember if you want to be happy in this life. Going with the grain, wu-wei (non-action), the essence of Tao… it’s been said many times in many different ways. For me, it’s been very difficult to learn how to trust this rule. Many tricky situations have passed me by which I would normally take action against or react to. It’s been amazing to see that with just letting things be the way they are, everything almost naturally gets sorted out with almost no effort on my end at all. And that’s not meant to sound like laziness. When I say “no effort”, I mean no effort in manipulating a situation to go in a different...
Read MoreGoing from Good, to GREAT! (Excel as a Human Being)
I dedicate this post to Average Joe. My hope is that by the end of this post, Joe will have a better understanding of what it takes to be GREAT. He will become great, and will inspire others to find the path to greatness as well. Here goes… Greatness Can Be Yours… It’s not something you’re born with. It’s within the reach of every human being on this tiny pale blue dot we call earth. It can be learned, and must be developed. By examining greatness in others, we can start to develop greatness in our own lives. But first, we must ask the question… Why Be Great? Why Not! The truth is… greatness isn’t much harder to achieve than GOOD, or average. With a little clarity and focus, we can go from good to GREAT...
