The Game of Blames Maybe you’ve heard of it? No, I’m not talking about the little heard Kanye West song. I’m talking about blaming other people for something going wrong in your life. I’m sure we have all done this before, myself included. It is something that I have been working on not doing for …
Aristotle is quoted as saying “We are what we repeatedly do.” I agree with this quote. The thing about the people in this world is that they repeatedly do things that do not bring them closer to what they really want in life. They get up, go to work (or not), buy something, eat, watch TV, …

Every day it seems that there is some new quest to have some professor fired for having beliefs different than the majority. Heck, it has spilled over into the entertainment field. I came across this exchange posted on Imgur and it just …
The Little Things In Life I’m a firm believer that it’s the small things in life that lead you to where you are now and where you are going to be in the future. Not those “life-changing” events. Nope, just the long chain of small things that you choose to do every day. Notice that …
My Net Worth Report for 2017 First, the bad news. I was unable to increase my net worth higher than I was able to during the 3rd quarter. But it was darn close! In Q3 I increased my net worth by $19,096. This quarter was slightly less, check it out. You know what the most …
