Coffee and Comics
Churning, Ceramic, Manual by hand coffee grinder. Spinning, Rotating, Mmmm, aroma slowly burning. Sunday morning comics, so beautifully in color. A few sips, My lady in lap. Exchanging narration, the comics come to life. This hot water ritual, always preparation for two. Sad comic strip now. The character is blue. These in-color Sundays, no longer […]
If It Ever So Decides
As it consists of only thunder. The clouds, gloomy and grey, have no contribution to my day. And when it finally starts to rain, if it ever so decides, I’ll be standing at the window, Watching the vegetables grow.
STOP PRETENDING
No one is a genius, and if you want to call someone such, I believe that what you’re truly acknowledging is their lack of “filter” that they have, whether it be oil painting expression, or deciding to dig deeper into splitting an atom and pondering the laws of the universe. I’ve always thought, “Nothing is […]
#1 ADVICE? JOURNAL EVERY SINGLE DAY
Someone once asked me what my number one piece of advice was. “What should I be doing everyday to grow spiritually and in business?” My answer if I could only give one… Journal! Write! Get that shit out of your head and onto some paper. A napkin will even suffice. You can hold yourself accountable […]
STEP ONE, STEP TWO. REPEAT
When I leave a meeting I always have everyone walk away with their own Step One & Step Two, steps. Sometimes I assign these steps depending on how I’m feeling that day, or what particular project I’m pushing, but most often I ask the person across the table, “What is your step one and step […]
DEPRESSION WITH ENTREPRENEURISM
Depression is a very new and recent experience for me in life. I had not experienced my first bout until mid 20’s, and when it fell upon me I was quite confused and uncertain as to what it even was. Across many site the average age range for depression seems to be 25 – 44 years […]
PRETEND YOU’RE POWERFUL, BECAUSE…
Every once in awhile, just because, when you enter through one of those automatic doors, like the ones at hotels, hospitals, etc., just wave your hand in front of it like you did when you were younger, or like your kids may do now. Do it to remind yourself that you are powerful. Do it […]
TIME TRAVELING
I talk about time travel from time to time, because… it’s real. We’ve all seen the movies about altering the past, changing the future, some guy steps on a bug back in the dinosaur era, 65 to 230 million years ago, then Donald Trump never becomes president. Something more attainable however… is what can we […]
DUAL PROCESSING YOUR EXPERIENCES
When you are doing startups, running businesses, it’s crucial to fight for it 1000%. You have to operate like it’s the only thing in the world to you, because it is! I also think it’s important to, at moments, give yourself permission to acknowledge the growth and enrichment you’re receiving from everything you’ve experienced through […]
NURTURE THE ECOSYSTEM
Build the ecosystem surrounding your project. When we zoom out from a coral reef, or a tributary, the area we see is being incubated by a greater system, flowing and delivering all the proper nutrients to it from all around. How long did it take for that one component to form and nurture life? I […]
