Leverage Your Joy
Applying UPSIDE leverage while avoiding DOWNSIDE leverage is a key to being more joyful. What do you mean? Upside leverage is anything that helps you enhance your joy while downside leverage robs you of joy!

Learn How To Prioritize Your Problems (Or Struggles)
You had a remarkably busy day. I’m sure you understand–food to buy and cook, laundry, people to call, money to earn, so on and so forth. So, when I saw a story on the news about someone who was going through something or I consider what I’ve seen people go through, I had to pause. […]
How To Deal With A Job You Hate
There are many reasons that you might hate your job, but no matter what they are, you’re not the first person to have gone through this.
