Day by day, we live our lives and take our breaths. We struggle, and we triumph. Each new day arrives full of hope— hope that, by dusk, may have faded. But still, we continue. We must continue. For life is the ultimate pendulum. The ultimate balance. The brighter the light that shines upon us, the…

Do you even know what happy looks like?
Seems like a pretty easy question eh? I would venture in this modern cliché world you could go with the stock answer of family, health, and wealth or some combination around that. Maybe it’s more beyond your own self and you would want world peace. While all of these things are important and have some…
When it’s hard to breathe
When it’s hard to breathe everything becomes a challenge When it’s hard to breathe small tasks feel like insurmountable mountains. When it’s hard to breathe isolation seems more prevalent. When it’s hard to breathe loneliness is most profound. When it’s hard to breathe options seem few and challenging. When it’s hard to breathe love of…
Remember when
Remember when you wanted what you currently have?
Getting Lost on the Walk
We have lost many artists and people of great inspiration lately. The latest of which was Chris Cornell. You may know of him and you may not but what can be said is he was a great lyricist and musician. He has greatly impacted the world of music and therefore peoples lives. What is a…
To The Woman I Have Always Loved
This is an open letter to the universe. You see for most of my life I knew there was a woman out there I was supposed to meet. It was like an underlying driving force and current to my very purpose here. Much of the time it remained that and I didn’t really understand and fully explore…
Our Glorious Failures
As I sat here marveling that I finally managed to get something working I have failed at many times recently it lead my mind astray. It lead me to take a moment and relive some of my greatest failures. Almost like a great moments highlight reel in reverse. It seems our failures are like the cast…
Our greatest journey
I find this quote to be so telling of where we need to look to find our purpose and happiness in our lives. We strive and achieve many great things as individuals and as a species combined but to what end. When you achieve some aspiration you set long ago or get that raise you…
My Thoughts on Recent Events
With all that has happened and continues to happen in the world today it’s important how we all react. So far the reactions are of course shock, sadness, and we must do something. May I offer a suggestion before we react again? So far the consensus is to polarize and to make laws or strike…
Suffering Alone
I have spent a lot of time lately thinking about things that impact my life. Why they happen, what they mean, and then what happens next because of them. It’s easy to get caught up in resentment or ask why me for the things that happen to us. It’s easy to somehow think we are…
Redefining Success
It seems we have quite literally redefined what success means. It is said that in Webster’s first dictionary back in 1806 the word success was defined as being “generous, prosperous, and kind.” If you look it up today it states “getting or achieving wealth, respect, and fame.” When I found this out I was amazed…
Who am I?
We start this life forgetting who we are and as a blank slate. We are free to shape ourselves and rediscover our purpose and meaning. We don’t have to do this and can get through ok but the goal is to want and seek more. To grow and find who and why we are. You…
Getting lost
It will happen from time to time in our lives that we will become lost. I don’t just mean in the physical sense but even more so emotionally. No matter how great things are or even how well on your path you seem, the days of being unsure and lost will come. It doesn’t mean you took…
Rainy day thought
I’m overwhelmed by all that I am, as we all should be. We should all love who we are and our potential in this world. We aren’t here by accident and devoid of purpose. We are a work to cause change. We purposely produce an effect on this world. What will yours be? Craig
The universe may not exist
While reading this article about the Higgs Boson particle and recent data that shows the universe shouldn’t, and oddly enough, may not exist I had an interesting thought. I have talked and shared an article before along these lines but what if the universe does and continues to exist because we think it does. Let…
