FIRE & INFLATION

Inflation is like a fire—relentless, growing stronger and more destructive the longer it’s left unchecked. The Palisades fire serves as a striking parallel. What began as a small, manageable blaze as turned into a raging inferno due to delays and mismanagement. Similarly, inflation often starts subtly, creeping into the economy through policy missteps or neglect. Both are preventable if addressed early, but when ignored, they fester and spread, causing widespread damage far and wide. Similarly, inflation, when allowed to build momentum, feeds on itself, intensifying with every delay. The consequences, like the destruction caused by the fire, ripple through lives and … Continue readingFIRE & INFLATION

How to Budget in 2025

Some folks sail through life without a rudder, wondering why they keep going in circles. A plan, no matter how small or crooked, is a sight better than no plan at all. It doesn’t have to be perfect—perfection is for folks with too much time and no sense—but it’ll keep you from hitting the same financial rocks over and over. This little exercise here isn’t gospel; it’s just a map. You’ve got to chart your own course, but even a rough sketch beats wandering blind. The Budget Breakdown Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a budget with … Continue readingHow to Budget in 2025

Finding Calm in a
Chaotic World

Meditation—it’s funny how something so simple can feel so impossible in today’s world. Between endless notifications, back-to-back meetings, and the general chaos of life, who has time to just sit still? But that’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? In a world that never stops spinning, meditation offers a chance to hit the pause button—a way to quiet the noise and reset.

Humanity’s Greatest Risks: Understanding, Preventing, and Surviving Existential Disasters
(12 Extinction level events)

Ladies and gentlemen, pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup of tea—or something stronger—and prepare to stare into the abyss. Man is the only animal has the sense to foresee his doom and still do nothing about it. From the ravages of nature to the creations of his own cleverness, mankind has carved out more ways to end his stay on Earth than any species has a right to. But fret not, dear reader! For where there is disaster, there is ingenuity; and where there is peril, there is hope. So, let us journey together through the twelve … Continue readingHumanity’s Greatest Risks: Understanding, Preventing, and Surviving Existential Disasters

The Baby Bust: Lessons from South Korea’s Fertility Crisis

Here we are, knee-deep in the curious paradox of our time. The world is teetering on the edge of a conundrum so peculiar it might make a mule scratch its head. The problem? We’re running out of babies. Yes, you heard right. The same species that once spread like wildfire over this green earth, planting flags and babies in every corner, has suddenly decided it’s better to buy a dog, sip oat milk, and call it a day. When humanity starts forgetting the fine art of replacing itself, you can bet there’s trouble brewing. So, pull up a chair, … Continue readingThe Baby Bust: Lessons from South Korea’s Fertility Crisis

INFLATION – The Fine Art of Taking Without Asking

Imagine a magician who promises to make your money disappear, not in one grand swoop, but a penny at a time, so slow and deliberate that you hardly notice. That magician, my friend, goes by the name of inflation. The government, bless their hearts, figured out long ago that the easiest way to take from you isn’t with a taxman knocking on your door but by sneaking through the back window. They inflate the money supply, leaving the same number of dollars in your bank account, but suddenly, those dollars don’t stretch as far as they used to. Prices … Continue readingINFLATION – The Fine Art of Taking Without Asking

The Art of Business:
Why Supply Lines Win Wars

They say soldiers fight wars, but it’s logistics that wins them. Just ask Putin. The bravest army in the world can only go as far as its fuel, food, and ammunition will take them. Without those essentials, even the most fearless fighters are left stranded. In business, the battlefield might look different, but the lesson is the same: success depends on your supply lines. Whether it’s cash to fuel operations, people to carry out the mission, or tools to get the job done, you can’t win if you’re outpaced by your own ambitions. Growth is thrilling, but it’s no … Continue readingThe Art of Business:

Layers of the Mind:
A Journey into the Subconscious

You know, folks like to think they’re the masters of their own minds, confidently striding through life with everything neatly in control. But the truth is, most of us are running on autopilot, powered by half-baked fears, forgotten memories, and desires we barely understand. Sigmund Freud, that old thinker with a knack for uncomfortable truths, spent his life exploring these hidden forces—the subconscious mind—and left us some useful clues for figuring out why we do the things we do. So let’s dive in and see how Freud’s lessons can help us unravel the mysteries of our own minds and … Continue readingLayers of the Mind:

Too Sweet to Swallow – Time to Sweeten Life Differently

Well, if the road to hell is paved with good intentions, it seems it’s also lined with vending machines. Sweet drinks, those sparkling, sugar-laden potions we guzzle without a second thought, have been unmasked as silent assassins. Like a carnival barker promising the moon, they dazzle with color and fizz, only to leave us with heartaches and sugar crashes—not to mention a laundry list of medical bills. And the latest science says the harm isn’t just personal; it’s a global spectacle of devastation, reaching into every corner of the world. The Bitter Truth: The Global Toll of Sugary Drinks … Continue readingToo Sweet to Swallow – Time to Sweeten Life Differently

The Science of Love –
Love Maps

You ever notice how folks spend their lives navigating the mysteries of their partners like they’re deciphering some ancient map with half the landmarks missing? Now, you’d think after tying the knot or shaking hands on “forever,” you’d get handed a user manual. But no—love ain’t so kind. It’s more like a riverboat ride where the fog rolls in thick, and you’re left squinting, hoping you don’t hit a sandbar. Building a “love map,” as the psychologists call it, is no different. It’s about understanding your partner in such a way that even their quirks and contradictions seem like … Continue readingThe Science of Love –

FOMO – No more,
Embrace JOMO

In a world spinning faster than a top, it’s easy to lose sight of the simple joys of living. We rush from one task to another, distracted by the pings of devices that promise connection but often deliver chaos. Yet, there’s wisdom in slowing down, like a river meandering through a quiet valley. When we pause to breathe, to listen, to truly be, we might just discover “deliciousness of life”—that sweet, unhurried moment when living feels less like a chore and more like an adventure. The idea of living a slower, calmer life involves adopting practices that reduce stress, … Continue readingFOMO – No more,

Thank You!, Bullies

If you’re a bully, pull up a chair. This one’s for you. Everyone else, feel free to mosey along, because I’m fixing to have a little chat with the workplace tormentors of the world. To the bully: thank you. Now, don’t let that “thank you” swell your head too much. I’m not grateful for the misery you’ve caused or the toxic muck you’ve left in your wake. That’s just plain nasty business. What I’m thanking you for is the unintended wake-up call you’ve given to the folks you’ve bullied. You see, folks like you usually peak early—probably back when … Continue readingThank You!, Bullies

River of Solitude

Solitude—it’s a lot like the quiet of a riverbank at dusk. At first, it feels unnervingly empty, as if the world has misplaced its usual chatter and clamor. But if you sit there long enough, you’ll start to notice things: the way the water whispers secrets to the shore, the gentle hum of crickets tuning up for their evening concert, and, most importantly, the sound of your own thoughts—clear and unvarnished. Solitude isn’t a punishment, nor is it a luxury. It’s the one time you’re allowed to meet yourself without interruption. You might find that what you discover on … Continue readingRiver of Solitude

In our fast-paced, modern world, sleep often takes a backseat to our busy schedules. Yet, quality sleep is the cornerstone of a healthy, productive life. We can adopt simple, practical habits that turn restless nights into peaceful slumbers. Let’s explore these straightforward steps to wake up refreshed and ready to conquer the day. Improving your sleep quality involves adopting certain daytime habits that prepare your body for restful nights. Here are some key ingredients that hopefully will put you to sleep.

Visualization –
the real Secret of
“The Secret”

They say the human mind is like a stubborn mule—reluctant to move unless you dangle the right carrot in front of it. Visualization, my friends, is the fanciest carrot in the world of high performers. Picture this: your future self, standing atop the mountain of success, while your present self stares up, squinting, wondering how on earth to climb that high. Well, it’s not magic—it’s mental rehearsal. Before you laugh it off as a new-fangled gimmick, let me tell you, the folks who succeed are often the ones who dare to dream in Technicolor and then march straight into … Continue readingVisualization –

The TAB Revolution: A New Era of Change and Transformation

The following is just a humble exploration of what might lie ahead. I’m not saying it will happen, I’m not saying it’d be good if it happened, and I’m certainly not saying it should happen. It’s just one of the many ways the winds of change could blow. But let’s be clear about one thing—change is coming, like it always does. We’ve no more control over it than a twig in a hurricane. Now, where the world will be in 20 years? Who can say? Not me, not you, not even those self-assured folks who think they’ve got … Continue readingThe TAB Revolution: A New Era of Change and Transformation

PRIDE

Pride, is a peculiar beast. It’s the seasoning that gives life its flavor, the spark that keeps our spirits alight. Without it, we’d all be a sorry bunch, drifting aimlessly like leaves in a gutter. But let me warn you: too much pride, and it starts to stink up the joint. Like an over-salted stew, it turns what could have been nourishing into something downright unpalatable. Pride, you see, is a bit like a mule—stubborn, strong, and often more trouble than it’s worth when left to roam unchecked. Pride is like the curry of life—an essential ingredient that adds … Continue readingPRIDE

The Art of Living Fully – Hobbies

Life has a way of pulling us in every direction, like a leaf caught in the wind. To keep our footing, to thrive rather than just survive, we need anchors—things that ground us, inspire us, and keep us moving forward. Psychologists tell us that hobbies are those anchors, enriching our lives and keeping us resilient. But not all hobbies are created equal. The ones that truly keep us thriving fall into three categories: active, creative, and community-based. That is why I write, it keeps me active, creative and within the community of humans. Let’s explore how these pursuits can … Continue readingThe Art of Living Fully – Hobbies

Sugar can be causing 43% Of Mental Illness, starting in Childhood

When it comes to sugar, folks seem to think it’s a harmless little indulgence—a sweet friend whispering promises of energy and delight. But give a kid a sugary drink, and you’ll witness a transformation quicker than a politician’s campaign promises. They go from cherubic angels to little gremlins, climbing walls and testing your last nerve. Now, if that same sugar can turn your living room into a circus, imagine what it’s doing to their delicate, growing minds. Scientists—folks who used to spend hours under dim lab lights, like I once did in a virology lab 40 years ago—have long … Continue readingSugar can be causing 43% Of Mental Illness, starting in Childhood

Mastering the Art of Instinct: The Symphony of Muscle Memory

Let me spin you a tale about memory—not the kind where you forgot where you left your hat, but the sort etched into your very bones. You see, there’s a dance happening inside you every day. It’s subtle, like a cat sneaking across the room, but it’s there. Scientists call it “muscle memory,” but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It’s your brain and body swapping secrets, working together like two old friends who don’t need words to communicate. And nowhere is this duet more fascinating than in martial arts, where the stakes are high, and the movements … Continue readingMastering the Art of Instinct: The Symphony of Muscle Memory

Money as a Tool for Freedom in 2025

Money, in its purest sense, is nothing more than a tool—a means to an end. Yet, it is often misunderstood, either as an idol to be worshipped or a villain to be feared. The self-made millionaires of today offer a refreshing perspective. They see money not as the destination but as the vehicle that allows them to chart their own course, secure their future, and empower those around them. This practical, almost humble, relationship with wealth is at the heart of their success. It’s not about flaunting riches; it’s about using money wisely to live a life of purpose … Continue readingMoney as a Tool for Freedom in 2025

Empowering Leadership: Building Trust and Belonging in a Collaborative World

Optimism is a fine thing, like sunshine after a storm, but too much of it can be like a river bursting its banks—what starts as a blessing might just leave you wet, cold, and wishing you’d built a better boat. Small business folks are feeling mighty chipper these days, which is all well and good, but it pays to keep one’s boots on the ground even while the head’s in the clouds. Authentic leaders build trust and foster a sense of belonging by expressing confidence in their team members’ abilities. Phrases like “I trust you” empower individuals to take … Continue readingEmpowering Leadership: Building Trust and Belonging in a Collaborative World

The Ripple Effects of Leadership

The Ripple Effects: How Leadership Begins Within Mark Twain once said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” Twain, a master of both wit and wisdom, understood that life often mirrors the currents of a river. Just as a captain steers their vessel, leaders navigate the complex waters of human relationships, shaping the journey for those aboard. A skilled captain doesn’t just manage the crew but anticipates challenges, adjusts the sails, and ensures everyone moves toward the horizon with purpose. As many of you may know, I’ve captained a few small vessels—and a few companies—in my days. What … Continue readingThe Ripple Effects of Leadership

Dream Big, Act Boldly, Stay Curious, Stay Human

Dream Big, Act Boldly The world’s greatest feats don’t come from folks who play it safe. They’re born from audacious dreams, the kind that make most people chuckle and shake their heads. Imagine being handed a challenge with no instructions, just a single command: “Do this impossible thing.” Now, most would hem and haw, but the bold see it for what it is—a call to action. Whether it’s building something out of nothing, transforming systems that seemed unchangeable, or tackling problems too big for most folks to wrap their heads around, greatness starts with a refusal to let the … Continue readingDream Big, Act Boldly, Stay Curious, Stay Human

Living with the Shadow for 60 Years

I’ve been living with alcohol for 60 years, though not in the way you might think. I wasn’t an alcoholic all that time, but alcohol was always there, lurking in the corners of life, shaping moments big and small. My earliest memory of it is from when I was about five. My dad came home one day, stumbling in, barfing on the floor while my mom screamed. I didn’t understand what was going on, but I knew it wasn’t good. He was angry at times too—once, he almost hit my mom and me out of sheer rage. Thankfully, it … Continue readingLiving with the Shadow for 60 Years

The Fine Art of Power

“The Fine Art of Power” Let me tell you something about politics—it’s nothing new. A few hundred years ago, the whole game was simpler: the strongest, smartest, or most conniving fellow took the crown. If you could rally an army, outwit your enemies, and had a knack for backstabbing (sometimes quite literally), you ruled the roost. That’s how power worked. No debates, no ballots—just brute force and bloodshed. Now, we call ourselves civilized. We wear suits, shake hands, and make speeches. But the game? Oh, it’s the same. We’ve just traded swords for slander and armies for alliances. Today’s … Continue readingThe Fine Art of Power

Doublespeak

DANGER – this post may make your head explode. I started and it got out of control. Doublespeak is a form of language that deliberately distorts, obscures, or reverses the meaning of words to mislead or manipulate people. It often involves euphemisms, jargon, or ambiguous phrasing to disguise the truth or make unpleasant realities sound more palatable. For example: Saying “downsizing” instead of “firing employees.” Calling civilian casualties in war “collateral damage.” Using “enhanced interrogation” to refer to torture. Doublespeak is commonly associated with politics, advertising, and propaganda, where it is used to shape perception, avoid accountability, or soften … Continue readingDoublespeak

IMPOSTERS EVERYWHERE or NOT

Something peculiar about this age we live in, where everyone with a blog or a loud voice fancies himself a kingpin of wisdom. You see, back in my day, an expert was a man who knew the river like his own heartbeat or a woman who could bake a pie worth dying for. But nowadays, it seems an expert’s just someone who shouts loud enough to make you believe ’em. And here’s the rub: folks are so busy trying to prove they’re geniuses that they start doubting themselves in the process. They call it “imposter syndrome,” which is just … Continue readingIMPOSTERS EVERYWHERE or NOT

BRIDGES – built on Influence and Persuasion

Imagine you’re sitting on a quiet riverbank, pondering the nature of people and their peculiar ways. Mark Twain might tell you, with a twinkle in his eye, that folks are like steamboats—always running their engines, puffing smoke, and trying to steer others downstream. But here’s the twist: some boats whistle loud and try to push, while others float quietly, letting the current draw others toward them. That’s the difference between persuasion and influence—a tale as old as time, but told here with a new kind of charm and simplicity. Difference Between Influence and Persuasion: Persuasion involves actively putting energy … Continue readingBRIDGES – built on Influence and Persuasion

GREENLAND, Why?

Greenland—a big ol’ chunk of icy rock dangling at the edge of the map, where most folks wouldn’t give it a second thought unless they had a hankering for adventure or a curiosity about melting glaciers. Then along comes Donald J. Trump, making headlines as bold as the man himself, declaring with a straight face and a twinkle in his eye that he wanted to buy the place from Denmark. And if Denmark said no, well, the man didn’t exactly shy away from hinting he had other ways of persuading them—military ones, at that. Now, before you roll your … Continue readingGREENLAND, Why?

TRUMP’S TARRIFS

Well, let me tell you, friend, tariffs are just the taxes countries slap on goods coming across their borders. It’s like a toll booth for trade – you bring in a wagon of apples or steel, and you’ve got to pay the gatekeeper a fee. Every country does it, from China to Germany, and it’s not some newfangled idea. Tariffs have been around since folks started swapping goods. Now, some countries, like China, might charge a bit more to protect their own factories or farmers. Others, like France or Germany, play by the European Union’s rules, keeping things tidy … Continue readingTRUMP’S TARRIFS

DEBT – When People Owe YOU!

The Nature of Debt: A Cautionary Tale Debt is a curious beast. You’d think, as the lender, you’d hold the reins of power. But no—more often than not, the debtor holds the leverage. As Donald Trump once said, “If you owe the bank a million dollars, you’re in trouble. If you owe the bank a hundred million, the bank’s in trouble.” And so it goes, whether it’s business, personal loans, or even favors among friends and family. Here’s the hard-earned wisdom I’ve gleaned from years of experience—lessons that cost me more than I care to admit: Lessons from Lending … Continue readingDEBT – When People Owe YOU!

YODA now, you are.

To be the “Yoda” of your company—you need to understand that being a leader or manager isn’t about hoarding power or clinging to control like a miser clutching his last dollar. No, it’s about doing the exact opposite. Real leadership is about giving away power so that others can grow, and in turn, you can grow right along with them. Leadership Isn’t About Control—It’s About Freedom If you think leadership is about calling all the shots, think again. That’s not leadership; that’s micromanagement, and it’s about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. The more you try … Continue readingYODA now, you are.

DISRUPT — YOURSELF!

Picture yourself standing before a shell—a protective cocoon you’ve built over time. It’s cracked now, glowing faintly, barely holding together. That shell represents everything familiar: your routines, your habits, and the comfort zones that make life feel safe but predictable. Now imagine stepping out of it. At first, you might hesitate. Change feels risky, doesn’t it? But then, you take that first step. The shell crumbles behind you, and from its cracks pours a light—bright, warm, and full of potential. It’s the light of transformation, of leaving behind the old to embrace something new. Around you, the world feels … Continue readingDISRUPT — YOURSELF!

GRATITUDE- Make Mornings Great Again.

Every Morning, make it your business to practice gratitude. Don’t just skimp by with a vague sense of appreciation! Count out at least ten things you’ve got to be thankful for. They don’t have to be grand. Give thanks for the morning light that stirs you awake, for the coffee that turns you human, and for the roof that keeps the rain off your head. Be grateful for a friend’s hearty laugh, the neighbor who waves without fail, or even for the cat that thinks you’re a hero just for coming home. And don’t stop there—give thanks to whoever … Continue readingGRATITUDE- Make Mornings Great Again.

3 Hearts

The Three Hearts: A Love Story Once upon a time, in a peaceful valley surrounded by rolling hills, there lived three magical hearts: Care, Trust, and Compassion. They were the guardians of love, spreading their gifts to all who lived in the valley. Each heart had a unique power, and together, they made the world a more beautiful place. The first heart, Care, was warm and nurturing. Everywhere it went, people felt safe and cherished. It helped the flowers bloom in spring, guided lost animals back home, and whispered kind words to those who felt lonely. Care’s favorite saying … Continue reading3 Hearts

Quirk of Fate

It was a chilly desert night, the kind where the stars blaze bright and the highway stretches like a ribbon of loneliness through the Nevada sands. Melvin Dummar was driving his beat-up pickup truck, humming a little tune to himself, when his headlights caught a strange figure up ahead. At first, he thought it might be a mirage—this was desert country, after all—but as he got closer, he saw a man lying crumpled by the side of the road. Melvin wasn’t the kind of man to pass someone by, no matter how peculiar the situation. He was a factory … Continue readingQuirk of Fate

Payne Happens

Once upon a time, down in the heart of Mississippi, there was a man named Johnny Ray. He was a good man, simple and kind, the sort who would stop to help a stranger with a flat tire or share his last bit of bait with a kid learning to fish. But life wasn’t always fair, and one summer, Johnny caught a virus that left his heart weaker than a crawfish in a boiling pot. The doctors told him he needed a transplant, so he put his name on the list and waited, hoping for a miracle. Meanwhile, about … Continue readingPayne Happens

TRADE OFF

Most folks, when faced with a choice, get it in their heads that life’s just a big seesaw. You can have one thing, sure, but only if you’re willing to give up another. Want to make your employees happy? Well, forget about happy customers or low prices. That’s the sort of logic that keeps most of us trudging along the well-worn path, stepping right over the trailhead of imagination. Take Southwest Airlines, for instance. Most airlines figure they have to pick their poison—do we want to keep the staff smiling, the passengers pleased, or the tickets cheap? The suits … Continue readingTRADE OFF

WAR is evil, but like removing Cancer may be necessary

Foreign policy is a mighty fine mess of morality and practicality, like trying to juggle a candle and a bucket of water. A nation’s first job, of course, is sticking around—survival, plain and simple. And when it comes to the United States, survival’s not just about staying put; it’s about keeping the hope of the world burning bright. For better or worse, we’re the ones holding the line against tyranny, waving the flag for freedom, and telling bullies to back off—so long as we’ve got the gumption and means to do it. But here’s the rub: surviving at the … Continue readingWAR is evil, but like removing Cancer may be necessary

The Cat is Out of the Bag

Well friends, ain’t it a curious thing how some of the oddest turns of phrase have wandered through the ages and parked themselves in our everyday chatter? Words and sayings, born from peculiar little moments of history, now roll off our tongues as natural as breathing, their curious origins long forgotten. Let me take you on a short stroll down the crooked lanes of time, where we’ll meet some familiar phrases and tip our hats to the strange tales that birthed them. The Tales of Old Phrases Take, for instance, that sly old saying, “the cat’s out of the … Continue readingThe Cat is Out of the Bag

A Ukrainian and Russian in 2050

Two old men sat in a corner booth of a quiet bar, the kind where the jukebox croaked out songs no one cared to remember. Their faces, lined with years and regrets, betrayed stories that would never be told in full. Each nursed a drink with the solemnity of a man performing a sacred rite. Once upon a time, these men had been enemies. Not the kind of enemies who spat curses across a picket fence, but real, dyed-in-the-wool enemies—pawns of nations that used them as chess pieces in a game they didn’t ask to play. One had sent … Continue readingA Ukrainian and Russian in 2050

INHERITANCE

When people talk about inheritance, the conversation almost always drifts to money—who’s getting how much, and what they’ll do with it once it’s theirs. But the truth is, the most valuable inheritance our parents leave us doesn’t sit in a bank or hang on a wall. It lives in us, shaping who we are and how we live. This kind of inheritance can’t be divided into shares or spent on luxuries. It’s found in the values they taught us—whether through their words or simply the way they lived. If your parents believed in honesty, hard work, and standing by … Continue readingINHERITANCE

Trust and the Scorpion

Trust—it’s a slippery fish, ain’t it? People spend their whole lives trying’ to figure out who they can rely on, only to learn the hard way that trust is as rare as hen’s teeth. You see, an honest person has a tell. They don’t nod their head like a bobble-head every time you open your mouth. No, sir. They’ll look you in the eye and tell you the truth, even if it stings like a hornet. They’ll stand firm in their convictions, even when it causes you some discomfort. That’s how you know they ain’t playing’ you for … Continue readingTrust and the Scorpion

The Road Everyone Takes – differently

Let me tell you about a curious road I found myself on just yesterday. No speed limits stretched across its open expanse, no dire warnings about sharp curves or hidden perils. The only law was what you carried within—your courage, your skill, and how much faith you placed in that rickety contraption beneath you. A place where the throttle was unshackled and the horizon beckoned like an invitation to the stars. Now, you might think such a road would turn men into daredevils, each one striving to outdo the other in feats of speed and daring. But no, … Continue readingThe Road Everyone Takes – differently

Repetition: The Unsung Hero of Brilliance

Repetition. The very word might conjure yawns and grimaces, as if it’s the villain of our creative aspirations. But let me tell you, dear reader, it’s no villain—it’s the quiet hero of mastery, the workhorse of genius. Without it, all the creative thinking in the world is little more than a horse without a cart. Ideas, no matter how grand, are as good as lost without the steady hammer of practice to forge them into reality. Consider the brain, that miraculous three-pound lump of fat, protein, and water we so often take for granted. It’s a marvel, cranking out … Continue readingRepetition: The Unsung Hero of Brilliance

Why You Ought to Quit Trying to Prove Yourself to Folks Who Don’t Matter

Now, let me tell you something as plain as the nose on your face: there ain’t no point in spending your precious days on God’s green earth trying to make everyone else like you. You could walk on water and some fool would complain you don’t know how to swim. So, stop tying yourself into knots for people who wouldn’t cross a puddle for you. Here’s six good reasons why proving yourself to others is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. 1. Mind Your Own Feelings and Draw a Line in the Sand When some … Continue readingWhy You Ought to Quit Trying to Prove Yourself to Folks Who Don’t Matter

BITCOIN – There be Whales…

Well, folks, it looks like ol’ Bitcoin’s saddled up for another ride, buckin’ its way toward that $100,000 corral. Right now, it’s camped out near $98,950, lookin’ mighty close to breakin’ through that psychological fence line. But hold on to your hats, ‘cause this ain’t just a simple stroll into the sunset—there’s some big ol’ whales splashing around in the crypto pond, and they’re makin’ waves. Now, these whales ain’t your everyday minnows. They’re the top dogs, accountin’ for a whopping 94.5% of all the market action. That’s higher than it’s been in a decade, which is a sure … Continue readingBITCOIN – There be Whales…
