Certainty
It's good to be confident in what you're doing. It's good to be comfortable in your level of experience and knowledge. However, certainty in any of it is a trap.

Knowing
It's wise to remember that what you know is only one perspective out of billions. What you know is only what you know. It may seem like what you know is what is known by everyone, but even if it is darn near identical to someone you're close to, they still will just know it … Continue reading Knowing
Invest
Are you spending your time and energy needlessly, or are you investing them? When you invest in something, you do so in exchange for value and a profit. Spending simply expends your assets.

Knowing
It may seem like knowing all of the right answers is the goal to a happy life, but that's an unobtainable goal. It is far wiser to know that you can't know everything.

Knowledge
They say that knowledge is power. And it's true. Knowledge can equip you with anything you may need to get ahead in life. But knowledge cannot help you if you don't put it into practice. You can't just collect knowledge for it's own sake. You can't always live upstairs in your head. Believe me, I've … Continue reading Knowledge

I'm a voracious reader. I always have a stack of at least ten books I'm reading at a time. And yet I have found with all of that book reading, along with all of the online blogs, articles and posts, with my formal academic education, and also the shoddy miseducation from those talking heads on … Continue reading Simple
The Why
Why do you want what you want? If you know the answer to that, then getting it is a cinch. We're usually so much more wrapped up in how to get it, and that seems to be the trouble. If there's anything I've learned in my lifetime, it's that I just don't know enough to … Continue reading The Why
