Tell Yourself the Truth!

The reason your budget is tight isn't because the Saudis raised the price of oil, your boss is cheap, or big corporations are greedy. Your money is tight because you spend more than you take in. The reason your current girlfriend or boyfriend has some of the same neurosis as your last four has nothing to do with them. It is all about you. And that is the nature of the human animal. We find evidence that supports our foundational beliefs and if we can’t find any, we manufacture it to conform with our desired view of the world.

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, 2022…

'Twas the night before Christmas, and down here in Miami; I was reflecting on the year, sipping cocoa in my jammy. The pandemic was abating, still the mood was depressing; Crypto was crashing and the future seemed distressing.

Invest in Your Dream

It’s the start of another week and another chance to move closer to your dream. And part of that process means investing in yourself. Your money, time, and resources.

Building Wealth 101

Savor the Moments

I read somewhere that the peak times for heart attacks are on Monday mornings. There are so many people going to jobs they dislike or actually hate. If you’re one of them, feeling miserable about it won’t get you anything but more misery. Resolve to find something you like more, and in the meantime, do the very best job you can. And most importantly, remember this…

How You Are Slowly Driven Insane

You really are living in a Matrix; it’s just not configured like the one in the movies. The real Matrix is a collection of machines used for surveillance and data-gathering. (This includes every online search you perform, what you buy, every website you visit, your social media posts, the things you ask your voice assistants, the apps running in the background on your phone, and what you stream for entertainment.) Then this data is exploited to manipulate your habits, moods, identity, beliefs, and behaviors. The objectives are to make you feel powerless, needy, and helpless – and drive you to take self-destructive actions that reward the managers of the Matrix.

Frolic with the Orcas

If you’re swimming in a pool, the water is usually clear. When you move to a lake, the water gets deeper and can get cloudy. When you’re swimming in the ocean, now there are 30-foot waves and great white sharks. You’re probably safer in the bathtub, but that’s no way to live life.
