Are You Stuck in an Unending Battle with Expectations
Having expectations can be helpful as they give a sense of motivation and direction. However, you underestimate the power of expectations on your thoughts. Expectations (your own or others) can influence your thoughts too much. Giving into expectations can be detrimental to your personal wellbeing.

Writing Rivalries
Rivalries are some of the most important relationships in any fictional work. They challenge each other’s viewpoints and force themselves to grow as people. To those who don’t know, a rival is a character who competes for the same goal as the protagonist. They act as a Jungian shadow and mirror the protagonist’s journey. Often, the rival proves to be more popular than the protagonist.

Forks In The Road
Where to go? What to do? Decisions, decisions, decisions. We've all been there, right? Our journey through this crazy thing called life has delivered us to an unexpected decision and we find ourselves unsure of which choice is best for us to take.

Hemingway, Opinel #8 and Vocal
It's August 2nd, 2021 and the weather here in Northeast Texas is unbearably hot this year. We've had heat indices well above 110° for the past ten days and there is no end in sight. Normally this time of the year, I'm able to keep my 125-year-old home reasonably comfortable but for some unknown reason, the humidity has permeated my home leaving the air both sticky and uncomfortable. I was more tolerable of the weather in my youth, but as I age, my required level of comfort sometimes exceeds what I'm able to provide.

Whether that be a business partnership, new collaboration, or a simple meeting, it is to your benefit to recognize their productivity levels ahead of time. Otherwise, you may be stuck carrying the bulk of the workload. As you navigate through your side of the deal, they’ll still be crawling through the initial stages.

Healing Lenses
Healing. It can be a funny thing, can't it? It has many stages, faces, feelings, lets be real...IT IS CHAOS. It is easy to get stuck in a cycle. In one moment, you are on a vibrant emotional peek and in the next, you feel like you are drowning (somehow all for the name of "HEALING").

Is Stress Keeping You Up At Night?
What keeps Americans alert around evening time? While for some it might have been an excessive amount of pizza, for most financial specialists today, particularly business visionaries, supervisors, and leaders, it's distressing. There's simply a lot to do, and not sufficient opportunity to do it.

Stop Striving for Happiness
Everything began when one of my young men inquired as to whether I was cheerful, and I said yes. For what reason am I distraught? I have a decent and kind spouse, two young men I am pleased with, I have an effective business, I have a home I love, I was encircled by companions, I was the most needed speaker locally, and yakkity yak.
