  • Real Men Are Gentle

    Real men are gentle. Desiring God has a lot of great articles and teaching videos on what Biblical Manhood is. I would highly recommend them to my Christian brothers. Nothing has made me hunger more for being the man we’re called to be in Christ. You can message me for specific recommendations. The resources I’ve…

  • Practice Pain

    “It is precisely in times of immunity from care that the soul should toughen itself beforehand for occasions of greater stress, and it is while fortune is kind that it should fortify itself against her violence.” – Seneca the Younger Practice pain and when it comes it will be gentler. If you have practiced the…

  • To Gain Clarity, Write.

    David C. Baker: “We gain clarity through articulation.” James Clear also talks about how he doesn’t really know what he thinks about something unless he has written about it.

  • I Want To; but I Don’t Do It.

  • Enjoy the Process

    Outcomes are constantly in motion, enjoy the journey. Goals give you a direction, but milestones are what get you there. We are much more likely to complete 12 – 1 week goals than 1 -12 week goal. We can use this to “level up” ourselves by making goals that we can “level up” to. Maybe…

  • Stuck? Stop multi-tasking.

    I”ll be “stuck” at something and realize that I”m trying to listen to a YouTube video in the background while “working” on the task. When I shut off the video and push through, it usually works. Sometimes, I need to go and play the piano, take a walk or just sit with my eyes closed…
