Unbridled Joy We went to Water World and rode water rides for about 7 hours. When my daughter is excited, she talks. She jabbered for about 7 hours straight yesterday. It is quite obvious that her capacity to experience excitement and joy is much higher than mine. I had fun. She had more fun. This […]
Dull Saw ~ Sharp Saw
Dull Saw ~ Sharp Saw Abraham Lincoln said something along the lines of – If I had an hour to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first 30-minutes sharpening my axe. I was working on a landscaping project today, cutting flagstone with a wet saw. Over time, the saw started cutting slower and slower. […]
“er” makes all the difference in the world
“er” makes all the difference in the world If I say that I want to be happy, it logically means that I am not happy now. If I say that I want to be wealthy or healthy, it logically means that I am not wealthy or healthy now. You don’t say you want something that […]
Stories and Focus
Stories and Focus A friend of mine is starting a 30 day cleanse. If she focuses on all the foods she cannot eat and tells herself stories of lack and deprivation – she will suffer a lot, become much less likely to successfully complete the program, and that counter-intent and resistance will make the program […]

So imagine this: you’ve just finished telling your story about how you are not being supported and then you turn to your left and see God sitting there. – Awkward!!!! If we do indeed live in a friendly universe, then we are always being supported. […]
Don’t always trust your feelings

So, if we want different results, we have to upgrade our beliefs, mindset, and the stories we tell ourselves. Much Love, Jonathan I write these Daily Doses because I know that my content does make a difference and helps […]
Taxes and Hike-To Skiing
Last Friday I went skiing and the normal runs were not enough. I just had to hike to the top so that I could ski some fresh powder in Serenity Bowl. Hiking in ski boots, at 12,500 ft., up a steep incline, in snow, while carrying skis is not exactly easy. There were quite a […]
