  • Fail

    I have not failed. I’ve just found 10000 ways that won’t work. Thomas Edison Edison’s thinking was optimistic. It was progressive. It makes sense. Without failure, how do we learn? The key is to overcome the failure. We must be willing to fall 10000 times. Developing the tenacity to accept failure is a challenge today. […]

  • I am Vain

    There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth. -Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton Recently, I discovered that I am vain.

They will always be your family, that does not mean you love every action they take. Love and family can be violative. It is this volatility that had […]

  • Purpose

    Purpose is one of the fleeting things that at times can defy definition. The minute you search to define yours it disappears. Deep down in your psyche, you know what it is and that it exists.

  • Why vs. How

    We go through life looking for meaning, looking for what we were meant to do. I cannot tell you how many times, I have asked, “Why?” So many, that someone convinced me to stop asking why, because the why for the action did not really matter. It is the how. Once we find our why, […]
