How to really change verses thinking about change
I told him the only thing keeping himself from is dreams is him. In the past I have said such jewels as, ‘Someone has to be rich, it may as well be you’. As far as I know they are both true, you only have to want something more than you want anything else. Once [...]

Baby to Adult to Dying, enjoy the whole trip
I had an interesting thought today. I was thinking about growing from a baby to a young child. I have never seen truly happy babies during this stage of life. Most days are filled with frustrations of things they can not do yet. Most of the frustration is usually because their minds start to envision [...]

Loss of focus and intent meant less quality time for friends
I had a call to go to a lunch from a friend I have not seen in quite a while. Of course I said yes. We set a date and time, and met for a meal at a coffee shop. I had not seen him in quite a while and I was excited to catch [...]

Werewolves, Demons, and monsters in the middle ages
It is not hard to imagine how story’s of Werewolves and other monsters started. It does not take much imagination at all if you think about the conditions people lived under in the dark or middle ages, which was the time of Feudalism in Europe. Everything outside whatever domain the person in charge could control [...]

Risk management weighting risk wins and risk losses
I like the idea of managing my day to day risk. It is sort of like the insurance company does when they are deciding what my cost will be for my car insurance. It is also doing a little thinking about day to day life, and balancing those activities with more risk over a longer [...]

Rental body, new owner and now
Sometimes I feel like I am in a rented body. I have no idea what I paid for it, but I know eventually the lease is going to run out and I will be on the street with no place to live.
I do not remember the price I paid for this rental, but it must [...]

Charity, Panhandler’s, and Swindler’s
I was discussing charity with a friend the other day, and I have to admit he was rather puzzled by my charitable actions this week as I talked about them. The conversation started innocently enough about some little thing, and eventually led to charity. I am a great believer in intelligently sharing some of what [...]

Suggestions and examples, not advice
I was thinking today about all the advice I have received and not followed since I was a child. It seems there are well meaning people everywhere who are more than willing to help me run my life. Some people are very good at giving advice, but I have preferred to do what I think [...]

Emotional control, or who is in charge of you
I listen to, and read of people who say they wish they had better control over their emotions. There is not any particular identifiable group who feel they can not control their emotions. Lack of emotional control seems to be everywhere from young children, to old men and women too.

Dragons, Kings, and the gifts in our life
The first reporter on scene asked the King what happened, how did one of the most successful Kingdoms in the upper world collapse so quickly? The King though gravely wounded wanted to tell the story for others to learn from it and be prepared.
The King coughed and some blood sprayed, a servant wiped his mouth, [...]
