Kid’s – What’s the Deal ?

If we want a ready definition of insanity, it seems that we only have to look at adolescents. There’s something about this innately difficult life transition that’s peppered with an invasive dose of insanity and some unidentifiable degree of irrationality. And because this appears to be the case, we often stand back in fear questioning if they’ll … [Read more...]

Independence – It’s Truest Form

What is independence? What is it? Not some pathetically amended definition that we’ve concoctedover the years through our cultural revisionism or politically correct notions. Not an agenda-driven definition skewed by a narcissistic sense of entitlement, or shaped by the slanted idea that independence is a right verses a privilege. Not some … [Read more...]

Running Empty

There will come a time when our resources will be completely inferior to the demands that pull at us. At some time we will experience a deficit of possibly tremendous proportions where we simply will not possess the resources to fend off whatever assails us or whatever demands payment of us. Where do we go when there’s no resources to go to? … [Read more...]

How Did I Get Here ?

Too often we are so inordinately consumed in the everyday tasks of everyday living that we don’t raise our heads up sufficiently to figure out where we are, and in the busyness of it all, where we’re going. In essence, we’re just going. The journey becomes defined by the need of the moment, not the goal of a lifetime. When circumstance or … [Read more...]

Hope – A Life Essential

At times we skirt the barren periphery of hopelessness. And having found ourselves at such precarious outliers, we begin to abandon a sense that we can somehow find our way back to anything that bears any imprint of hope. Such moments leaving us grieving the life we’re living because we see no rational for living it, for without hope all of life … [Read more...]

Historical Revisionist – Our Fear of Truth

We rather like the truth if it serves our purpose and supports our agendas. However, if the truth does neither of these, we find ourselves a bit annoyed, somewhat exasperated, and often determining how we can bend the truth sufficiently to make it less intrusive and far less problematic. And that often involves a bit of creative revisionism. The … [Read more...]

Self-Esteem – The Four Big Lies

Self-esteem is something few of possess in sufficient quantities. To whatever degree it might be, somehow most of us are a bit short in the self-esteem department. And when our self-esteem isn’t up to par, we know it and we know it well. And because we know it so well, we strategize how we can boost it, supplement it, inflate it or prop it … [Read more...]

Have We Forgotten – Lulled to Sleep

Much of our life is sleepwalking. We simply go through the motions without any real thought that all we’re doing is going through the motions. We pre-program our lives to a methodical cadence that pounds out a mesmerizing rhythm to which we march. And as our lives pound out this incessantly tinny and empty cadence, we find ourselves on a circular … [Read more...]

Happiness – Three Do’s and Three Don’ts

Happiness seems to be that infuriatingly elusive yet intensely desired thing that we’re all chasing in some form or fashion. The apparent reason that we’re in this rampant pursuit of happiness is that we don’t have it very often, and when we do, we don’t have it for all that long. This thing called happiness is elusive indeed. Maybe when it … [Read more...]
