Pretty presumptuous of me to claim I have good advice, isn’t it? Well, I do. How do I know? Because I believe it and that belief comes across in the advice itself. It’s good advice because I say it’s good and if it works for you it’s good advice because you say it’s good. Here’s […]

I’m going to teach you how to overcome fear and anxiety, but first I’m going to exacerbate your fear and anxiety. It’s interesting, some of the websites I write for have content policies that advise against using headlines that ‘trigger fear and anxiety’ in others, but it’s bullshit because they don’t care about your fears […]

A post about how to be less sensitive might be unpopular in 2022. We live in a day and age where more and more people are becoming hypersensitive. We have terms like microaggressions to describe how someone can deeply offend you without even knowing it. I care about the planet and want it to survive, […]

To live the life you want, learn how to focus on yourself. Pretty simple, right? Most of the success in life comes from doing things that are simple to understand but difficult to execute. That’s why most self-improvement articles sound exactly the same. We all know exactly what to do with our lives but we […]

Phrases like ‘path to success’ might make some people want to throw up in their mouths in a little bit. Life isn’t all about success. The self-help industry has bastardized our notion of the word — making us feel like we have to be perfect in every area of our life and reach the top […]

Positivity and negativity make life worth living. Each serves a useful purpose. Duality is a theme that’s consistent in pretty much every area of life. You have the light and the darkness, happiness and sadness, love and heartbreak. Without the opposing force, neither end of the spectrum has value. Most people use positivity and negativity […]

My brain constantly comes up with questions that make you think…. thought-provoking questions. I’m the type of person who contemplates the infinite wisdom of the universe, randomly, in the middle of the afternoon. I can’t identify with being bored because the fact that I even exist fascinates me. Have you ever contemplated the idea of […]

Imagine you’re flat broke (maybe some of you don’t have to imagine that). Somehow you manage to get your hands on $10,000. You’d be elated. Now imagine that you manage to get your hands on $100,000. But, through a series of unfortunate events, you lose $80,000, leaving you with $20,000. Would you rather have the […]

In about a month, I’ll be celebrating my seven-year anniversary as a writer. I’ve been writing pretty much every single day, without fail, for a better part of a decade. I’ve published three books, given a TEDx talk, and started a six-figure writing business. Zoom back seven years and change. I’d dropped out of school, […]

“You can wish in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first.” Here’s my beef with the doomsday writers who talk about how society is rigged against you. Many of their diagnoses of the state of society are correct. I actually agree with most of what they say. The key […]
