It could be said that I’m a people-watcher, which means I’m content to sit back and watch my surroundings. I love to observe human nature. One thing I have noticed is that people are very serious. (tee hee) I can be a serious guy myself, but not to the...
While at the car wash this weekend, I stopped for a moment to observe my surroundings. It was Veterans Day, and I was reminded of my father’s passing 14 years earlier. As I looked around, it occurred to me how much the world he knew had changed. The woman...
The other day, I jumped to a conclusion and immediately took action. Under most circumstances my approach might have been admirable. But in the end, I was dead wrong. Since I had already fired off an email telling the head honcho all the mistakes I had made, I found...

Like love itself, aspirations lead to living with a sense of purpose and direction. Aspirations are usually focused on the future. Unlike...
This word has been coming to my awareness a lot lately. People, events, and circumstances can activate the impulsive mind. Without an impulse, the mind generally takes into account some considerations prior to acting. When you’re acting without thought to the consequences, an impulse creates sudden action. Then you...
We make predictions frequently, sometimes with our unconscious minds. Our assessment of the future can be an assumption or an educated guess based on the data we have collected. This is called quantitative. Predictability describes the likelihood something will occur. If we are guessing, this is called qualitative. Some...
