The butterfly mind

The idea, that the flapping of a butterfly's wings triggers a tornado, sounds possible When you consider the workings of the mind   A small tremor in the mind Launches a tsunami of another kind   Powerful and fragile Swinging to the beat both ways It brings good times and bad times   Make it your friend Know it’s a shadow that won’t leave you but ain’t you Shine ...

Buying more fortune cookies does not change the future   The props are not the real thing And more props does not increase the probability   Capital does not become a business Three people do not make a team   Intention is not commitment Presence is not relationship   The left of the equation is actionable, measurable, within one’s control – where we put all our energy into. The ...

Those searching for their why

A loaf of sliced bread, time machine, and you

We view life as a loaf of sliced bread where each slice represents a time frame. As we move from left to right, time moves forward, like an arrow piercing through the slices.   We also view life as a set of goals awaiting us in the future, the right side of the loaf. Till we reach that slice, the goal is not met -- we are work under ...
