To continue from yesterday on this topic of sleep, I really like this metaphor of the starlight and the daylight. It seems like it can be used in so many areas. This idea that the stars are always shining, it’s just that their light is covered up and made invisible by the brighter daylight that […]

One difficulty I always had with self-improvement and having good habits was being able to get to sleep, I mean, you always hear about having a great morning routine, and starting every day with doing the right things, and these things are great. One of the best ways to establish good habits and a good

Another metaphor that I enjoy thinking about is to think about us as having this kind of electric charge, as if there’s electricity flowing through us. Now, electricity is something that I’ve always had a hard time understanding, really grasping what it is. It’s this invisible force that can be measured and understood in so

So and now to complete this snowfall trilogy, I’m thinking about how do we become aware of this internal voice that I’m thinking about, this little message somewhere from inside us, telling us what is right or wrong? And it seems like, because this voice can easily be so quiet, it’s really all about quieting

I’ve been thinking more about this idea of the internal voice. And maybe voice is not quite the right word, because it isn’t necessarily- it isn’t really gonna be like a voice, like somebody talking to you, but it’s this kind of a feeling, a feeling, this kind of a vague sensation which I’m trying

In the last video, I talked about finding a balance between working, so sacrificing today for tomorrow, versus living in the moment, enjoying life today, possibly even describable as sacrificing tomorrow for today. And somehow there’s a balance between too much of this building a better future versus too much putting it all in the

How do we find that balance between working, building for the future, doing things that make tomorrow better, while at the same time also living for today, also enjoying what we have now? This seems to be one of the most critical balancing acts that we do, in that there’s a strong case for both

In the last video, I talked about how we are stuck within a bubble somehow, necessarily, because we can only pay attention to certain things, and we can’t really pay attention to everything in the universe, so we’re always gonna be inside some kind of very restricted part of the univers. And part of this

It’s so normal to live our lives within a restricted box of what we believe is possible and normal, and everything else is kind of outside the box. Now, most of us, we don’t really want to think of ourselves as living in a box. You know, it’s feels nicer to believe that we are
