One, Two, Three..

You rarely arrive somewhere by skipping.
We want shortcuts and helicopter rides to places.

But life doesn’t come with those options.

Life works one step at a time. To get somewhere you just go through the steps.
Shortcuts are actually rabbit trails.

So take steps, one, two, three...

Get Curious

By -
How do other people and situations get us mad and frustrated? For most of us, it could be far too often.  One life hack to slow down on the frustrations at others is to learn to get curious.  Here’s an example, someone cuts you off in traffic. Get curious, ask what could be going on in their life that would cause them to be so inconsiderate. Or maybe how could they have learned to be so inconsiderate.  Somebody doesn’t communicate with you or not how you wanted? Get curious.

You Don't Have To Repeat

By -
I'm a parent, and I want to provide the best possible life for my children. I've seen kids come from good and bad parents both, and end up the opposite of their parents. The means you can become good even when you've been taught bad. You can use the bad to learn good. You can also be taught good, but not appreciate it and choose bad. It seems the power is in the individual. It seems our desires eventually make their way out. So if we have an inner desire and it's not a good one, we have to internally shun it. If you feed that desire it will eventually come out. You don't have to repeat the bad you have received in your life. You can desire better and produce better. The good news is, the choice is yours.
