Busyness
People seem so busy today. In fact, when asked how they are doing many people reply “crazy busy.” This is culturally reinforced too, because we are conditioned that being busy is good and stillness unproductive, or even lazy. There is some truth to the fact that being occupied with what you love promotes well being, […]
The politics of enough
When is enough enough? That’s a really hard thing to define. And in our society where we seem to worship excess in every way, it gets even murkier; determining when you have enough becomes more difficult. In many parts of our country, traditional providers of social and economic stability for the middle class are under […]
The peace dividend
World peace is an illusion. There has never been a time in history that was conflict free, and the chances are that there never will be. Conflict is inherent to the human condition, and although wars can inflict the most horrible atrocities, conflict itself is often necessary before progress can be made. The only real […]
Project Yourself-Part III
I previously wrote two blog posts on Personal Growth where I discussed how beliefs are projected on children by family, friends or teachers: ideas about money, self-worth, intelligence, and just about everything else.

It should be a required course starting in kindergarten; it is one of the most important tools for not just surviving but for thriving. It affects everything from personal health to family relationships to wealth. It also impacts the health of nations and whether or not there is peace in any part of the world. And […]
All about me
Have you ever looked at a new situation and thought about it solely in terms of “whats in it for me?” This would not be unusual, since many people were brought up to believe this the right focus in our society. Is it possible that this was the wrong approach all along? That really depends […]
Freedom
People are grasping for freedom all around the world. It really seems to be in the air .There are certain things we can all agree on about freedom: it is a precious thing, it needs to be fought for, and it needs to be protected. Beyond that freedom is a subjective concept, since your idea […]
The right track
It’s a new year-and for many that means open possibilities and some form of resolutions. People have asked me whether I have any New Year’s resolutions, and I have said this: there are certain areas of my life that I would like to balance out a bit, but otherwise, I already live each day to […]
