How can you distinguish between them? And how, in the real world, can you know for certain you’re not crossing a line? I know for sure- Influence without manipulation isn’t a pitch—it’s a process. And the process that I believe in. Whether you manage employees, sell to customers, or just need to get your kids to do their homework, being able to get people to change their minds is a valuable skill. […]

Multiverse contains infinite realities. Therefore, there must be infinite realities where characters who exist as fiction in some realities, exist as actual entities in others. The same is true for the opposite, incidentally. There must be alternate realities in which we are fictional characters. I think so, whatever we think, we imagine, we read that need some energy. Every smallest bit of energy is eternal, immortal and I think so […]

If you’ve never heard of the “carnivore diet”, it’s basically a way of eating that focuses either entirely or mostly on healthy meat, fish, and eggs, while avoiding most plant-foods. Choosing only small amounts of plant foods based on a scale of plant toxicity… for example, with leafy greens, nightshades, grains, and beans being the most toxic plant foods, and fruits generally being the least toxic types of plant foods. I’ve been intensely […]

Not that you can’t have this amazing picture-perfect retirement lifestyle… you absolutely can. It just takes a bit of work. As in, challenge, growth, and, of course, first finding clarity on your ideal life after retirement.

Sign of a lack of respect. Sometimes friends, bosses, and partners get swamped with work or other engagements. However, if someone repeatedly flakes on you, it can hurt, and it might be a sign they don’t value your time or relationship enough.  Talk to them about the impact their actions have on you, and ask if anything is getting in the way of commitments on their end. For a friend/partner: “I’m […]

For a healthy relationship, only love is not enough. Because relationships work on many things like compatibility, cooperation, and trust. Also, even if you have these qualities, your relationship can get difficult because of your goals or different priorities in life. Is love ever enough to sustain a happy, healthy, and long-term relationship? In an ideal world, it would be. But the reality is, you can love someone deeply and still […]

First, let’s talk about monounsaturated fatty acids—the primary type of fat in both olive oil and avocado. Oils containing monounsaturated fats are considered some of the healthiest types of oils. Monounsaturated fats are surprisingly stable for cooking, unlike other processed vegetable oils which contain polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated fatty acids or MUFA’s, protect our cells’ DNA and add energy to the mitochondria. MUFA’s are one of the best fatty acids for our cell […]

Damage of sitting all day. For many people, work means hours and hours of sitting, with rare pauses for a walk around the block or even down the hall. While it’s easy to dismiss this as a routine part of adult life, it is becoming a growing concern among researchers. Spending hours in a chair can cause all kinds of damage to your body, and even shorten your lifespan. When […]

Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it will elude you. But if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder. Many people have learned a lot about themselves during the Covid pandemic. They’ve reassessed their priorities. They’ve realized what really matters to them, and what does not.  They’ve gained fresh appreciation for “the little things” that […]

For successful relationships you must love yourself first before you love another. You cannot give what you do not have . Be mindful of how you spend your time.
