So this is the first time that I’ve ever referred to an ongoing current events situation, but of course, right now this whole virus pandemic has gripped the attention of everyone, it seems. And although, in some sense, I can think well, there are other things to be concerned about, I can understand why everybody […]

Another metaphor for looking at this whole work versus play, sacrificing versus enjoying, suffering versus pleasure: another way of looking at this whole balance is using the metaphor of some words that are now become very common in describing these states, and one would be the grind. So grinding is, you know, it’s become a

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.

So this might not be the best cinematographic choice to have this bright light behind me, but I could not resist showing some of this snow coming down. There’s nothing like looking at a snowfall. I don’t know why, but it’s all part of appreciating the nature around, and appreciating the different seasons, and now

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
