Chasing the Dream vs. Living a Nightmare

“Livin’ The Dream, baby!” Yep, living the dream. Seems it once was not just a popular phrase but a more common approach to life. This came up for me in a coaching session today. I was dealing out my list of crap that’s not working in my life, the nice version of complaining, when my…

When a Pterodactyl Flys in Your House

Problems. We all get ‘em. But sometimes they seem to come in flocks. Problem with problems is they tend to build. We see one, we get hooked–emotionally triggered–then our radar (also known as the Reticular Activating System RAS) gets turned on.

Oh, to be a boy… Again?

I want to be a boy who gets to play and run and jump. I want to be a boy who has more joys than worries, more freedom than responsibility, more love and compassion than punishment and consequences.

In a world where we’ve come to expect bad news about people and circumstances, this is an uplifting story about pro-football player and a 10 year old ball-boy that will remind you that now is always the right time to be a good guy.

The Myth of Success

Success is the pinnacle, it’s what we crave. I believe success is broken—an outdated pursuit that has been the result of more dissatisfaction, confusion, disillusionment and emptiness than we may truly ever understand. We spend out lives justifying our vigilant pursuit of success while secretly hanging on to the fantasy that when we catch it,…

The 6 Year Old Leader and His Magic Frisbee
