Generosity In my last week of traveling, I’ve interacted with a lot of people. Some were generous with their time, attention, support, and or resources. And, some were not.

Effective Lies If we have several tequila shots, we won’t have a choice about whether we are under the influence. We will be. The same is true when we listen to lies. We will be influenced.

Our Packrat Brains Imagine a packrat’s room stacked full of old newspapers, boxes, and junk. The room isn’t useable because there’s so much unneeded and not useful stuff.

A button’s job is to get pushed

A Button’s Job is to Get Pushed When we have a button, we can be supremely confident that it will get pushed. The only uncertainty is how soon until it gets pressed again. We can see this frequently when someone gets upset and we don’t get why they are even bothered by what happened. That […]
The walking offended

The Walking Offended We’ve all gotten offended. And, we have all given offense, whether intentionally or unintentionally. And, we will get offended again and we will offend again. The challenge is: how quickly can we get over it? How quickly can we let it go? Because, when we are walking around offended, we are missing […]
