The Time I lit $200 on Fire

The underlying philosophy of everything I write about is that the most important relationship you have in life is the one you have with yourself. Within that vein of your relationship with yourself - is your relationship with money. A tricky relationship many people have with themselves indeed.

On Visual Diets

Today I want to dive into another wacky weird thought tangent I’ve been exploring - color and light and what I call your "visual diet". It’s well documented how colours have an effect on us. It’s why all of the fast food companies use red, it’s why certain stores have pink or light color hues, … Continue reading On Visual Diets

Vai com Deus

Here in Brazil there’s a common expression - “Vai com Deus”, translates to "Go with god". People will use it when they are saying goodbye. A “have a great day” or "take care of yourself" kinda thing.

Today let’s get a bit out there. Astral. Spiritual. Let’s enter the woo. Let’s leave the world of scientific validity and try to enter the realm of merely philosophising and exploring the realm of possibilities. Theres a term that gets thrown around a lot in spiritual circles, and that term is the “collective consciousness”. The … Continue reading The next level of human evolution

On mood, motivation, goal chasing, and learning

Over the last few weeks I haven’t been feeling quite like myself. Like I don’t have my same energy levels. My same excitement and enthusiasm for life. It’s normal, most of us are feeling this way in these crazy times. Covid and the quarantine and now all of the protests can take a toll on … Continue reading On mood, motivation, goal chasing, and learning

My Superpower

The other day while journaling I asked myself, “What is your superpower?” What can I do better than anyone else, or differently than anyone else, that gives me powers others don’t have access to? Pulling on the threads of self inquiry, the first thought that jumped to mind is something around speaking. I have the … Continue reading My Superpower
