It’s easy for people to go along with the crowd in terms of what to aim for in life. Money, power, a big house, fancy car, popularity, “success”. But it only takes 1 kind of event to throw a wrench i...
It’s crazy how time flies. The 1 year anniversary of the Essay Vault Subscription has arrived and it’s been a blast. Subscribers have loved the essays they’ve been receiving and the “ah ha!” ideas th...

Usually access to the Essay Vault Subscription is open at the beginning of the last week of the month, but since February was short and ended later in the week, that’s why access came a bit late. As ...
Pleasure is good. We should all enjoy it in moderation. But some people think that pleasure is something that’s only reserved for really big things. Is it possible to get more pleasure out of your li...
It is perhaps the greatest fantasy and fallacy that so many people are enamored by and strive so mightily for: Pleasure 24/7. Sitting on a chair by the beach, a servant feeding you grapes, millions i...

I’ve been thinking about some of the foods that I enjoy and by no means am I some connoisseur when it comes to food. I’m a simple guy, I like simple foods, I’m not a foodie, I enjoy a nice meal...
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since the beginning of this site. Seems like yesterday I was writing the first couple articles for it. Millions upon millions of readers and hundreds and hundreds of...

We all have bad habits and the thing is, we fail to realize it’s a choice. The reason why bad habits keep on going on is because we think they’re automatic. No. We make a choice to indulge in those b...
As always, invites to the Essay Vault Subscription are available every month so before this month ends, let’s do just that. For those of you who just joined us this past month, who have no idea what ...
We know we should be grateful so we do the gratitude exercises but it turns into same old same old, we list the same things we’re grateful for over and over, and it loses its meaning so we stop. On t...
This past month and last week, I’ve hinted that the 7th Exclusive Premium Subscription in 5 years is coming and it’s FINALLY here. What could it possibly be? But before I get into that, there are a c...
If you’re a long time reader, you know I’m a big fan of college football in general, even before I went to university and that I’m a big fan of UCLA football as well. 2 weeks ago, on a Thursday night...
