Below is taken straight from my personal journal. This was an audit I did of my strengths, weaknesses, passions, interests, limiting factors, and where I was headed. I created this to help learn more about myself to help me find my purpose. To be transparent, my intention for publishing this is to more effectively learn …
I never thought this would happen to me… I went on a 2 week road trip recently in my 4Runner. It was incredible. Skiing, exploring, working from coffee shops. It was really challenging though, but it felt good and exciting. I felt like I was valuing my attention better, not wasting time scrolling social media, …
I’ve taken on a new project. I call it my “Twitter Brain” For some “Twitter Brain” might bring a negative conotation, but to me, this will be an incredibly valuable asset I leverage in my journey of personal development and learning. Let me explain… Here’s the idea: There are lots of people on Twitter sharing …
A quick idea for you today. “Less thinking, more trusting.” I tend to analyze things, to make sure all conditions are taken care of and thought of. I’ve tended to think my way through problems and often future problems, not today/right now problems. But I’ve questioned this a bit lately. What if it’s less about …
How much would you pay for a memory? For those childhood days coming back in the afternoon, playing video games with friends, running around outside? For that trip to Europe that changed your life? How much would you pay to be healthy when you fall sick? What about for a piece of information that doubles …
On my trip to Crested Butte I got stuck on a snowpacked trail. It started out as quite the laugh. “Lemme just dig myself out” I thought. Little did I know the struggles to come… I dug and dug. I broke out the traction boards. I tried winching. Every attempt made things worse. Every time …
Have you ever thought about what actually causes us to take action? And why is it that sometimes (or maybe many times…) we don’t take action even when we fully know doing it would be worth it? I’ve been struggling and wrestling with taking (and not taking) action the past couple weeks (or months…). I …
Man, what a struggle… I feel like I’m living for the weekends, a mindset I really don’t enjoy. It’s become an indicator for me. I’ve been enjoying skiing on the weekends, getting out, exploring. The daily microchallenges and microdecisions that it brings feels good. On the flipside, my weekdays fly by with nothing to show …
There’s something interesting about people who share their lives online. It appears as though the more transparent someone is, the more the haters come out of the woodworks to critique them. You’d think the more transparent and honest you are, the less people would have to critique, but it seems to be quite the opposite. …
Lately it feels like I’ve fallen into a slump. There hasn’t been any waking up early to get things done, a strict sleep schedule, being “productive,” learning, growing, pushing myself to my limits. Instead, there’s been late nights, videogames, lounging on the couch, YouTube, and getting back into watching Twitch livestreams, something I haven’t done …
