The future is an illusion

  Waiting for a future time and date to do something or begin something is a known pattern we have come to adopt. But, is there really a future time waiting for us to make use of it? Are you really certain that the future you so clearly or expectedly speak of will ever arrive? Over the years as I have continued to live through life it has constantly dawned on me that, while the future is supposedly an expected time that is forthcoming, that the real future is actually now. The time you now exist in is the same future that you are waiting for. You may not get this if you fail to understand that the time you now live in as at this moment (today) is a part of the future you spoke about yesterday. Because a summation of whatever the future will ever be is in combination of the time you now live in or exist in today and now. There couldn't be a future of whatever made up date or year that you had in mind yesterday or last month without the existence of today. So also will tomorrow becom...

Habit stacking is the Secret

  If you struggle to make a change in any aspect of your life, Habit stacking is what you are lacking. Tiny habits equals huge results. Floss just one tooth. Meditate for one minute. Read one page.  Commit to these micro quotas daily & you'll establish the behavior. Then you can optimize & improve. But it starts with mastering the art of showing up, no matter how small the habit. The mistake we make sometimes is trying to leap frog into a new habit while still having the limitations or inertias of the old one. Things take time. This is a simple understanding that should guide you as you seek to make a change and adopt a new habit or break an old one. The beauty of this starting small is that it affords you the motivation to see it through, unlike a big task that you may most likely give up after a few minutes of starting. Here is where the concept of 2-Minute Rule is most valuable. This rule was coined by  David Allen in Getting Things Done, and in it he expressed...

The Irreplaceable Gift: Why You Should Be Selfish with Your Time

    “Be selfish with your time… That's a major gift that cannot be replenished.” T. James Ezenachi In a world where we're constantly pulled in different directions, the concept of time management is more crucial than ever. We're often told to be generous with our time—whether it’s helping others, working overtime, or simply being available at a moment’s notice.  However, what if being generous with our time is actually costing us more than we realize? Time is a finite resource; once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Unlike money, which can be earned back, or possessions, which can be replaced, time is irreplaceable.  In this post I will be explaining why it's not just okay but necessary to be selfish with your time. The Irreplaceable Nature of Time Time is the one resource that every person on this planet has in equal measure—24 hours a day.  Yet, how we use these hours differs vastly and can be the determining factor between a fulfilling life and one filled with re...

The Unmatched Power of Belief

No matter what challenges you’re facing right now, believing in your own strength can be the spark that keeps you moving forward. Let me start with a simple truth: belief shapes reality . Think about it—every great achievement, every breakthrough, every story of someone overcoming the odds starts with one thing: they believed it was possible. From athletes breaking world records to entrepreneurs building empires, belief is the invisible force that turns dreams into reality. But what is it about belief that makes it so powerful? And how can we harness it in our own lives, especially when the going gets tough? First, let’s ground this in some science. Your brain is an incredible machine, and belief acts like a filter for how it processes the world. Psychologists call this the self-fulfilling prophecy . When you believe you can do something, your brain starts looking for ways to make it happen. It’s not magic—it’s neurology. For example, studies on athletes show that those who visualize s...
