You've only got one life to live, but if you do it right, that's all you need.
Since birth, I've been me. Parts have changed and parts have stayed the same. Opinions are my own.

Our values are the engine to our life. We aren't going anywhere without them, and they need the occasional tune-up.

Humility: Kill Your Inner Narcissist, Not Your Self-Esteem
Humility is a social lubricant and stress buster, but missing the mark is self-defeating. Here is how to get it right.

Funny because it's so relatable. I did this just this past weekend and had to correct myself.
The Stoics tell us not to suffer our troubles in advance. Why suffer more than we have to?
Plus we should give people an opportunity to change.
Don't count on it, allow for it.

108 Sun Salutations, before and after.
For my fellow yoga practitioners I highly recommend the practice on the changing of the seasons.
If are going to do it have a strategy for counting. You will lose track. I do 4 sets of 27-30 (I still lose count :))

Make no mistake, adulting is hard work. We make it harder by overthinking.
When I'm trying get out of my own way I borrow a line from Tim Ferris and ask myself "What would this look like if it was easy?"
It's good to be a hard worker, but do yourself a favor and be smart about it as well.

In the latest episode I disuss how we are facing a crisis of morality covered by a mask of religiosity.
The world needs us show real morality by acting with love, and rip off the mask using whatever language of faith or belief we can.

There is power up for grabs in the Democratic Party with victory on the horizon.

On this day in 1955 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat. For 381 days people boycotted the buses. They walked, carpooled and organized every single day until segregation cracked. Nothing will change today without that same resolve. Freedom isn’t granted, it's taken one step at a time. #Resist

All murder is bad. Picking and choosing the murders you care about for political purposes is wrong in all levels.
Our government is infested with racist Nazis.
4 people shot, two killed by right wing extremist in Minnesota who has a list of other Democrats to kill next, crickets. 🧵

Adulting these days means being confronted with near infinite options. Being busy isn't enough.
You will never be able to do it all. You will be able to do enough if you live intentionally.
