I’ve decided to take two months vacation to travel to Nepal to study meditation in Kathmandu. I’ve decided that not only do I deserve a vacation, but that I deserve to get enlightenment in this life; not interested in waiting until the next. I’m cashing out my IRA and will be leaving next week.
Do you have a challenge coming up that you feel unsure about? An upcoming test, speech, presentation, performance, game, or interview? Here’s my experience of how I succeeded using a little impromptu mental rehearsal. Every year my brothers, brother in law and I go on our annual Dude’s River Trip.

You survive the landing with a crippled craft. You’re stranded. You call the Galactic AAA. It’ll be awhile before they get there, so you begin to explore. You step out of […]
A woman chewed me out once because I asked her (very nicely) not to park her car behind mine while Pep Boys repaired a tire on it. In a hurry, I didn’t want to be slowed down while they got her to move her car so I could leave. I got so angry, I thought about giving her the […]
So here we are, 2011. Did you make any New Years Resolutions? Almost a silly question to ask; hardly anybody makes them anymore.
