Tell Me What To Do
“In this way you must understand how laughable it is to say, ‘Tell me what to do!’ What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, ‘Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance.’… In this way, if circumstances take you off script… you won’t be desperate for a new prompting.” – […]
Physical Health
On this week’s Daily Driver, I’m visiting one of the reoccurring questions that comes up in ThisIsBracketRacing in regards to health. Does diet and exercise impact performance?
The Value of Reputation

How do they live the dream life? Part Two: No Misconceptions
