By: Gabriela Yareliz You know we talked about balance not that long ago on the blog. As we start a new week, I am carrying this thought with me: “Spend a handful of hours a day going fast. Crush a gym session. Do deep work on a project you care about. Spend the rest ofContinue reading “Monday Mood”

Goalie
By: Gabriela Yareliz Goalies— their job is to go against any human instinct to duck or avoid a hit— their job is to block and take the hits. It goes against all human instincts to avoid pain or direct impact. Sometimes in life, to get the job done right, we have to go against allContinue reading “Goalie”
Six Months
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep coming across this thought— six months. Where will we be in six months? Anything is possible. Your current circumstance is not permanent. Today, no matter what you are going through, I urge you to take care of yourself, and do something that nourishes your spirit. When things get hard, rememberContinue reading “Six Months”
Thoughts for March
“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”
Let Them
By: Gabriela Yareliz Humans— we are strange little creatures. We try to sometimes give advice— that often fails. We try to pretend like we are the exception to the rule— that often fails.

We are ever evolvingContinue reading “Wrestling”

Theo was talking about how he saw a random recording someone took of him, and they called him ugly. Antonio went on to say that ugly means “swaggy.” “Watch this ugly mf getContinue reading “Ugly”
Secrets
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you have watched enough of The Office, you know Scranton has one stripper. She shows up dressed like a nurse to help give a charity check, and she shows up in other ways at Dunder Mifflin. She says, “Secrets secrets are no fun. Secrets secrets hurt someone.” This scene came toContinue reading “Secrets”
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”
