“There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.” Zig Ziglar By: Gabriela Yareliz One learns this pretty quickly if one is paying attention in life. As Sahil Bloom says, “Talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not.” (I am not sure I agree intelligence is abundant, but we will give Sahil a pass). AsContinue reading “Thoughts for March”

X+Y=Z
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to a biohacker from Poland’s podcast (I really do like her), and she had on another woman from Eastern Europe. They started talking about how Americans are so encouraging and the acceptance of success that exists in the United States— even unmatched by Canada and Australia, in their experience.Continue reading “X+Y=Z”
The Best
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this quote, and I thought to myself— we often think “What’s the worst that could happen?” And sometimes, this is a good tool to spur us to action anyway. But what would happen if we thought, “What’s the best that could happen?” Would things be different?
This Matters
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way. Some people see it as overkill, but life just doesn’t work the way many assume it does. It surprises all ofContinue reading “This Matters”
Unreasonable
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is the world run by sex-addicts, adulterers, and pedophiles? As time passes, it really does feel like it. **Cue song “I Need a Hero”** Even our most revered historical figures have some insane histories. The MLK Jr. files revealed what was often rumored about the minister and civil rights activist. It wasn’tContinue reading “Unreasonable”

Wannabe
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you are a nineties girl, you remember singing the Spice Girl’s “Wannabe.” We would belt it out on the playground. (Not kidding). /I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really wantSo tell me what you want, what you really, really want/ I think there is an epidemic in adultsContinue reading “Wannabe”

As one of his chapters in Mind Shift is titled, “You Can’t Take Everyone With You.” We are ever evolving. We have to holdContinue reading “The Future You”
Revelation
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random. This year, I have begun the year here giving a small window into my thoughts. I think about a lot of random things all the time. IContinue reading “Revelation”
Carousel of Lessons
By: Gabriela Yareliz My coach says that if we don’t learn a lesson, it repeats itself in our lives until we do. I am not sure if I believe that. I think life just happens. I do think that we can create the same patterns and reactions if we aren’t intentional, but even when weContinue reading “Carousel of Lessons “
