There are many reasons why I respect America (especially because they have bigger guns). For instance, I love how they’re such a passionate culture; they looooove what they love. Years ago I was in Washington and there was a small political rally – or that was what I was told by locals. That … [Read more...]
The Benefits of Religion
I was recently asked a typical question as a Christian: “What if you die and find out that you were wrong? Like, what if the Buddhists were right?” The great thing is if I follow the teachings of Christianity to love and be good, I’m doing well if Buddhists are right. I’m also doing well if the … [Read more...]
Humble or Self Deprecating?
I recently sent this message to someone I’ve really admired for a long time: Hey [person] I was talking to someone who struggled to accept that certain people could look up to him and I thought I would send a note to say how much I look up to you and how it’s been this way since the first time I … [Read more...]

This new tool isn’t going to revolutionize anything, but it made the couple I was … [Read more...]

When I was in my teens there seemed to be a few young people who were super hard workers and/or super hard on themselves and a few very lazy and entitled people my while most of us were more in the middle between the two extremes. The current younger generations seems to be the opposite with a very … [Read more...]
Avoiding Those Petty Fights
Marriages are rarely broken by a major issue. In fact, more people recover from affairs and hidden debt scandals than you’d expect (there are also more hidden debt scandals than you’d expect where one person builds thousands of dollars of debt behind their partner’s back). Instead, what kills most … [Read more...]
Playing the Victim vs. Playing the Martyr
This past week I realized there’s a difference between playing the victim and playing the martyr, which is a rather important distinction to know. Both behaviors are unhealthy, but one is sinister while the other is more self-deprecating. Playing the victim is when you spin things to be all … [Read more...]
