Anyone will tell you that the key to developing a new habit is consistency, but that’s too vague for most people. Before you can be consistent at anything, a foundation needs to be laid to promote hat consistency. Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they […]

Everyone Sucks at Everything
Yeah, I said it. Our social system and the values it creates are pretty inefficient. People live their lives thinking they’re making their own choices and they know how to solve problems. Unfortunately, very few understand science and even fewer can practice science independently of their values. Of course there are times where we don’t […]
Assertive vs Aggressive
More and more these days people are become passive-aggressive. Passive-aggressive people tend to avoid anything that seems somewhat close to a confrontation, yet explode when they’re cornered. That’s where the term “passive-aggressive” comes from. Too many people these days are afraid to simply say “no” when they’re not interested in something because they fear what consequences may […]
The Quality of EVERYTHING Suffers Without Money
Just think about it for a second. Money is how we get our resources. Whether it’s basic necessities or luxuries. Without money, we are limited in not only food, water and shelter, but to health care as well. The stress related to not having enough money or being in debt is pretty devastating to our […]
Why is Communication so Hard?
The point of communication is getting your point across to the other person and have it interpreted the way you mean it. If the person misinterpreted your words or gestures, then you’ve failed at communicating with them effectively. Our modern language is outdated and almost everything is subject to interpretation.

What’s More Important, Love or Money?
Before we go all out, let’s see if we can define what love is first. Love is a strong, emotional attachment to something. When people are with someone they love or are doing something they love, they feel incredible joy. However, this is a double edged sword. If that person loses the person or thing […]
Why is There Money for war but None for Education?
It’s only logical that money should be going towards education instead of towards war, right? WRONG. First off let me say that our education system sucks. I’d like to see more money and attention go into it, but because of the nature of money and our economic system today, it isn’t a wise business decision. […]
Never Give Health Advice
Offering someone health advice is like telling someone their religion is wrong these days. Of course, everyone is a health expert. They watch Dr. Oz or get some quirky advice from a family doctor and feel like they’ve got it all figured out. Try and question this and you’ll see the person’s fangs showing in […]
Cheating and Relationships Today
Before we even talk about cheating, let’s talk a little about where the whole rules of the relationship game came from. The rules the conventional relationship plays by are man made of course. They aren’t any more effective than the next set of rules. Under the rules of a current relationship, you must be faithful […]
Is There Free Will?
When people think of free will, they usually mean decision making outside of influence. The universe is synergistic, meaning it works under the principle of cause and effect. With that being said, every decision people arrive to is influenced in one way or another by what’s happening in their lives. You can do what you […]
