Introversion is a subject that has most certainly been addressed in the past. But, I’m a bit amazed at the amount of people I encounter that have not come to terms with this (as they see it) abnormality. Under the presumption that most people probably haven’t looked into the intricacies of what being an introvert entails in any kind of depth, it would seem that those feeling they fit this proposed archetype of an introvert could easily “assume” they are misfits at best in today’s social Read more [...]

It goes without saying that we all have no problem being able to imagine a different life and work structure for ourselves. If memory serves me, they made a TV show out of this concept a while back called Fantasy Island. Oddly enough, the title for this show represents the point I look to exemplify. Most of what we tend to imagine for ourselves, which we’re more than capable of, all too quickly starts to look like nothing more than a fantasy. Nice thought, but not very realistic. How easily we Read more [...]

It has been said by philosophers that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action, and all of my experience so far tells me this premise is right on the money. I have absolutely no doubt that if you’re on the path looking to merge who you are and what you do into a symbiotic relationship, where passion, purpose, and your career meet, the depth of your desire is the key element that will either initiate a call to action, or put it on the preverbal back-burner. There is no in-between Read more [...]

We are actually playing with two dynamics here. One involves the relationship between these two words in terms of pursuing the “next step” in your journey. Where do they meet? Do they meet? Beyond that, one can make the simple statement, what choice do I have (which will absolutely be influenced by your capabilities), and without seeing both the positive “and” negative slant to that question might be at a loss with how to proceed in today’s seriously changing work environment.

The value Read more [...]

It just doesn’t seem logical that we can actually become addicted to the same life, the same circumstances, the same business structure we’ve built around ourselves, but it’s true more times than not. Line’s like creatures of habit and better safe safe than sorry are all too familiar in this state of stagnation, and Einstein’s definition of insanity (doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results) seems to fair well.

We hear time and time again how we’re living Read more [...]

How many times (almost daily for some) do you get caught up mentally spinning on something that you clearly know is a complete waste of your time? I’m not referring to acts of mentally testing something out and constructing a new idea that ended up not working or not representing what you would consider to be a viable alternative. Failing is never a counterproductive proposition – it’s a learning experience. I’m talking about a useless mental rehash of what you’ve deemed as a negative experience Read more [...]
