Where in your life are you spending time doing things that feel productive...but that just aren't that productive? Or maybe they are necessary, but you are using the time spent to procrastinate on other important matters? Do you always spend time on the little things that feel great to check off the to-do list, while [...]
I recently visited a beach I went to as a child. At least I think I did. It has been over 25 years and it definitely didn't look the same. But I realize it is a beach with nature changing it everyday which adds up over multiple decades. Even though I didn't fully recognize it [...]
Life has a lot to do with luck. How does this statement make you feel? Some people view this as opportunity; something positive. Others will think this is the unfairness of life. How you view the role of luck may just play a big role in your level of happiness. And it's ultimately your choice.

I recently listened to this 2015 podcast with Amanda Palmer, a music artist.
