Everything Is Fine

Published on October 19, 2022

My car was recently up for inspection.

It drove fine. Oil and fluids were good. No suspicious noises or lights. It wasn’t pulling in any direction…

Taking it in felt like a waste of time.

But, when I did, lo’ and behold… my brakes were shot.

They needed to be replaced immediately.

This is why we do maintenance checks EVEN WHEN everything feels fine.

Because we might catch and address things before they’re definitely not fine.

And in case you didn’t catch it… this post has nothing to do with cars.

P.s. I’m on a mission to help busy people do inner work—so that they can live better lives. If these daily pieces have impacted you, you can support my ongoing work here. ☕️

State Matters

Exhausted is not the time for inner work.

Looking into your dark places when you’re mentally dark isn’t a bright idea.

Exhausted is the time for rest.

RESTED is the time for inner work.

Go into your dark places with your light shining bright.

Two Kinds Of Travel

Published on August 29, 2021 
The first
Everybody knows of
Dreams of
Lusts over
Forever plans for
That reveals small pockets
During hard to find time

It’s the second
The less talked about
The less sexy
The kind that happens
From the confines of a chair
That reveals entirety
During time that's always been there

Moving Forward In Darkness And In Light

Published on June 24, 2021

Observing—even learning from—other people’s mistakes can illuminate a path forward for you.

But, having your path illuminated is much different than trudging through the darkness yourself.

Use both to keep moving forward, but don’t expect one to act as a substitute for the other.

Some lessons can only be learned in the dark. And some roads are too hazardous to travel without light.
