Last week I mentioned that my wife and I are in a particularly good spot with each other (that might sound like bragging... because it is). If we looked at a scale of 0 to 10 with 10 being the most trust and safety you can feel with someone (i.e. you can say something a little off, but it’s … [Read more...]
Nice-oholic Pt 20: Something that Prevents us from being nice
I once knew a woman who told her son, “You can be right or you can be kind.” Her son was very argumentative because he always chose wanting to be right.

The last few weeks I’ve been discussing the idea of inferior and superior mindsets.
