  • Motion over emotion

    It seems the supply of motivation, inspiration, and encouragement is almost infinite. You can get it for free from the internet! Or if you prefer to pay or do it in person, countless trainers, motivational speakers, and life-coaches are your service.

  • Just start playing

    I believe our biggest challenge today is that we’ve got access to way too much advice, suggestions, and opinions about anything and everything under the sun.

  • Intent and action

And here’s what’s ridiculous — people have made a fortune writing about how to use…

  • What I learned from Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Edison’s to-do lists?

    Bumped into these crazy to-do lists by Leonardo Da Vinci and Thomas Edison. I was blown away! There’s so much to learn just by studying these lists. Most importantly, the lists are a reflection of who they really were. Check out Da Vinci’s list: [Calculate] the measurement of Milan and Suburbs [Find] a book that…

  • The Librarian vs the Warrior

    The Librarian… gathers, collects, organizes information… and essentially becomes a philosopher or a theorist. They usually don’t know what the heck they can do with all that information. Who would? The Warrior… uses the information neatly collected and organized by the librarian and puts it into practice… and essentially becomes the one who would put…
