Where to Find Your Identity
I know that I’ve written something like this before, but this conversation keeps coming up. Just because I study and I’m very interested in identity doesn’t necessarily mean I know how you might be able to find identity. Everyone is different. There is never one way to find identity and…

Your Greatness
….all depends on the challenges that you’ve experienced in your life. You cannot know how great you can be unless you work through some challenges. We all experience challenges. Those that work through it can know how great they are. Talk to great people. They’ll point to the challenges that…

The Thing that I Love About My Blog
…..is what I learn about you who read it. Whenever I check the sites stats, it shows the search terms that people used to find my blog, and it also shows the sites that they might have come from. Here are some of my observations. 1. People are struggling with…

“Why Not” People
Have you ever had an idea – something that you were passionate about – and had the people around you just simply asked you “why?” These are the killjoys in your life – always shooting down your idea. And then there are those friends in your life that lovingly and…

Creating Culture
……..is never about one person. Don’t get me wrong, I think one person can start it. One person can be the impetus for creating culture, but it takes more than one person to create it. It’s about a bunch of people being about one thing. It’s great when it comes…

People Are Not Rational
Does that make sense? No, it doesn’t make sense, and it doesn’t have to. People are not rational. I don’t care how much schooling one has, they’ll still do dumb, irrational things. Why? Because people aren’t rational. For years, you’re trained to think logically, correctly, and dare I say, rationally.…

Home and Identity
I have written similar ideas before, but I am always amazed at how much I learn about myself when I go home. Home – my parent’s home. It doesn’t hurt that home is Hawaii. It’s beautiful here. Normally, the surroundings and the scenery – and the food – is what…
