This episode ties together the idea of controlling the space between a stimulus and our response, and the idea that nothing around us has any meaning except the meaning we assign it. And I talk about one way we can start to eliminate the negatives around us, by seeing them as neutral instead.

In this episode, I discuss a passage from the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. And I discuss how that passage relates to both the Buddha AND to Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." And I start with a shameless plug for my other podcast, Illusions, available wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode I talk about another verse from the Dhammapada (loosely translated as The Path to Truth) and talk about how we can put this verse into action in our lives and make our own lives, and the world around us, a better place to live.
My gratitude goes out to Anchor.fm for sponsoring this episode.

I recently started studying the Dhammapada, the teachings of the historical Buddha. And today I discuss verse 5, which teaches that only love can put an end to hatred. I'm sure you've heard that message from hundreds of other people. But taking a look at the world around us, we can easily see the message needs to be heard again. And again.

In this episode, I offer my perspective on the idea of doing nothing. I don't think it's possible. I think we can do good things, or not so good things, but even if we're very successful at doing nothing, we're still doing something.

After reading "You can always choose a new future, or a new past" today (thank you to Richard Bach, in "Illusions") I realized I can look at my past in a completely different way. And THAT can help me create a whole new, fully empowered future. I hope you'll join me on the journey.

With a HUGE hat tip to Richard Bach and The Messiah's Handbook...this simple little question, "Why bother living an unhappy life?" has wrecked me today. This simple little question has really grabbed me by the shoulders and shaken me around and made me re-think whether or not I'm willing to continue settling for what I'm settling for. Maybe it will do the same for you.

"Argue for your limitations and sure enough, they're yours." - Richard Bach in "Illusions." This is the topic of today's episode. And I also have an idea on how we can stop arguing for our own limitations.

In this episode, I start to explore the idea that nothing around us has any meaning or value...except the meaning or value that WE GIVE to it.

In this episode, I want you to be more of a pipe than a bucket. If you're already a pipe, then AWESOME! But if you are a bucket, poke some holes in the bottom and start to let things flow through you, more like a pipe. Hat Tip to my former pastor Matt Heard (http://mattheard.org) for making me a pipe 15 years ago.

In this episode, a situation at my workplace has me pondering short term thinking vs long term thinking. I know which one I think is more effective and hopefully I can convince you to see it the same way.

In this episode, I talk about an idea I overheard today when two software engineers were talking about a computer programming problem. Funny how life gives you interesting ideas in the least interesting places.

In this episode, I talk about how Superbowl Sunday and Olympic Games reveal who did the work, who put in the extra reps, who put in the extra hours of preparation so they could be ready to see, and seize, opportunities. There's a HUGE lesson there for all of us.

In this episode, I talk about the fact that we are constantly giving our consent, our permission, our stamp of approval to results in our lives, even if we don't want those results. And most of the time, we are giving our consent because we just don't use our power of consent wisely.

In this episode I talk about adopting a slightly new perspective on goals and discipline and how this new perspective is making a very big difference for me in creating the results I want to create this year.

Today's episode gives me a chance to encourage you to take that step on faith. Launch your podcast. Write your book. Write your blog post and hit the Publish button. Don't listen to any naysayer. In fact, when someone challenges you on your step toward your dream, just look at them and say, "Ok. And...?" And know that someone believes in you! (Hint...it's me!)

In this episode, I talk about the Buddha's "Right Awareness" idea. And try to make this a little different, and a little simpler, than the other 43-kajillion mindfulness things out there.

In this episode, I discuss the idea of Right Diligence and Effort. In other words, doing the right things for the right reasons. This is the 6th part of the Eightfold Path as taught by the historical figure we call The Buddha.

Continuing the series on the Buddha's Eightfold Path to Awakening, today I talk about Right/Proper/Wholesome Livelihood. In other words, how do you earn your living? Is there a right way and a wrong way? According to the Buddha, there IS.
