HOW
Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you there is a killer on the loose. He is a very sneaky killer and has found a way to kill without drawing a drop of blood. He aims straight where it hurts the most, your dreams, and instead of stealing your life he takes your soul. The killer goes by the name of ‘HOW’ and it is said that he is under the direct guidance of a mysterious force called ‘FEAR’. His sole goal is to make you think you can’t do...

I’m not a particularly religious man. I like to think of myself as Pi Patel from the book Life of Pi. I believe all religions are stories that provide insights into the fundamentals of life. One may argue the word ‘story’ claiming, “but it happened. It’s truth!” When you widen your perspective though you realize there is no truth, just stories… even your life. Just because you see the glass as half full doesn’t mean everyone...

I came across this song and it really resonated with me. As many of you have noticed, I’ve gone through quite a few changes over the past year. I’m still in the same body, same skin, same looks, but what seems to have changed drastically is my mentality, or ‘map of the world’. I’ve become more aware of different perceptions and it’s altered my way of thinking. I feel I now care way more about different people and experiences, that...

What if I told you there is no ‘luck’? Not one ounce of it. Would you laugh at me and banish me? Or would you listen to me and learn from me? Don’t get me wrong, I’m neither right nor wrong, after all it’s just a belief. That said, what if I told you every action you take right now dictates your future. Physics states, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What if ‘bad luck’ was really just reactions reflecting...

DonateNOTnow
They seem to be everywhere these days, street teams supporting a cause and inviting passer-byers to donate. First of all, I want to acknowledge every one of them. To put it all on the line and invite strangers on the street into a conversation is no easy task. Many of them I have encountered handle it with humbleness and professionalism. So kudos! Now let’s face it, I’m sure these charities receive a ton of donations through this process and let me be clear this...

Money. We all use it. Without it the world would come to a stand still. We hold it. We spend it. We earn it. We exchange it. It’s universally common. It has no boundaries. It can help you do anything you want. Sometimes we donate it. Other times we sell it. Is energy any different? Think about it. Energy is a currency in itself. However, instead of it being a physical exchange it is usually a verbal exchange. With many intangibles around it, through conversation we...

“WOW’ … that was my first reaction when Transformers: Dark of the Moon 3D ended. The action, plot, suspense, and did I mention action? Just incredible! However, as I watched the movie more popped out at me then the movie itself. I was able to associate a deeper meaning (sort of like the Matrix), whether it was intended or not. *Caution: This is a spoiler so please do not read if you have not seen the movie!* Here it is: The Autobots represent who we are as...

MomentsInTime
I’ll be the first one to admit, I’ve probably spent more than half my life stuck in my head. You know, thinking about all the things I should’ve done or debating whether I could or couldn’t. Mapping out what a situation will look like, or debating the consequences of an action. C’mon, wouldn’t you agree we all do it to some extent? Many of us live a great story in our heads with a vivid past and a unwavering future. All to often though,...

As Isadore Sharp, the founder of Four Seasons Hotels, said this the crowd seemed to fall into this energetic silence. In my mind it became so clear, when you follow your passion, you discover happiness. Happiness is all we ever want in this life, yet all to often we equate it to money or actions. These measurements of money & actions tend to always increase, creating this never attainable state of happiness. But why? Well it was one of the main reasons over 100 students...

You hear it all the time… “If I just won the lottery, I’d be happy.” “Once I become CEO, I’ll be confident.” “If school wasn’t so hard, I’d be a straight A student.” If I do this, I’ll be that. If I have this, I’ll be that. Think about it for yourself. Looking back how many times have you said you’ll be a certain way if you DO certain things or HAVE certain results. Over time, we’ve become conditioned to be a product of our environment… An...
