  • Anxiety or Award

    Anxiety or Award

    As I was looking at my ‘Awards’ on my Apple watch – I remember when all of these little reminders to stand was a point of anxiety for me – not award. I needed to get all the marks for standing every hour. When I would go on a drive…

  • Honest and Spontaneous Expression

    Honest and Spontaneous Expression

    I’m really not super good at this. Are you? Do you have the ability to just express what it is you’re feeling right at that moment? I’m not that great at this. I need to learn it. I also need to learn to to express it in a way that…

  • A Journey into Fantasy

    A Journey into Fantasy

    I heard this line a few days ago.  It made me think of a few things. First of all, I don’t think of fantasy as something that you have to journey to.  I always think that fantasy is always going to be there.  I don’t think of the journey into…

  • What You Obsess About

    What You Obsess About

    Well, if you’ve been reading this blog for a bit – you know what I’m going to say (Right Kahu Dan!). What you obsess about tells me so much about your identity.  If you think about something so much to the point that you obsess about it – that’s your…

  • What Calms You?

    What Calms You?

    What Calms You? Do you even need to be calm? Some of us live such fast-paced lives that we don’t even know that we need to be calm. That place where you are calm is a great place for shaping identity. When you are calm, you can freely think and…

  • The Identity of Being Right

    The Identity of Being Right

    I have written a post about always being right. Please check out the post just to give you context for this one. Do you consume information to learn the truth or do you consume information to affirm you for being right? It’s a great question. The more you hear that…

  • That One Moment

    That One Moment

    There is That One Moment – that one moment that makes the difference between the thing that’s bringing you down and being able to work through it to get you to the next level. There is That One Moment – that one moment where you are lonely – so lonely…

  • Junk Thoughts

    Junk Thoughts

    As a good Christian person, I think I have only ever thought about my thoughts in terms of right and wrong thoughts.  I have never thought about my thoughts in terms of quality = valuable thoughts vs. junk thoughts. i think I heard about this idea on a podcast.  Junk…

  • The Knowledge Economy

    The Knowledge Economy

    I recently read about the knowledge economy.  I’m still working through the book, but it has been fascinating to see the world through this lens. Whether you see knowledge as a product or a tool, knowledge becomes the most important thing.  It also means that pieces of paper that say…

  • What You Think

    What You Think

    I heard a speaker this week say that there is a difference between “how we speak and how we think we speak.”  It’s such a novel insight, but how we are and how we think we are can be different, and I think it’s a function of a projected identity.…

  • If I Had to Eat the Same Meal Everyday for a Year

    If I Had to Eat the Same Meal Everyday for a Year

    ….I would have chicken, broccoli, and lentils.  I wanted to put sushi for every meal, but I think I would die.  I could possibly live on rice and eggs. This was an interesting idea to me.  I don’t even know if I eat the same meal two times in a…

  • Love

    Love

    I have been thinking about it, but I am having such a hard time find words to describe my thoughts about it.  I am not talking about some romantic or marriage kind of love – although it fits.  I’m thinking about about how it makes us do all kinds of…
