“Travelers, there is no path, paths are made by walking.” ~ Antonio Machado A path is a nice idea. We see it laid out before us, unfolding one glorious step at a time, and all we have to do is go along for the ride. Paths I’ve found are rarely given. They’re made. We make [...]

Leap: The Monkey Mind and The Inner Sage Can Walk Together
Posted in choices, creativity, decision-making, stress on January 28, 2012 | 2 Comments »
When we’re in a funk, it can be tough to pick our heads up and re-energize. When we’re down and out, sometimes it feels easier to stay that way. And for a while, I think that’s true. Every once in a while we do have the right to wallow a bit when something doesn’t go [...]
Leap: Making a Big Career Choice Earlier Than I Expected
Posted in career, choices, decision-making, meditation on January 25, 2012 | 10 Comments »
I’ve got some career choices to make in a shorter time frame than I planned. The company I work for is going through some reorganization. Minimal reduction in headcount lots of reshuffling. This comes as no surprise; what surprised me was that I would have options. There are several different places that I could land [...]
Leap: What We’re All Really Doing Here

“We‘re all just walking each other home.” ~ Ram Dass I read this quote from Ram Dass and it stopped me in my tracks. It reminded me that we are here to be of service to one another. All we’re ever really trying to do is make life a little bit easier, a little happier [...]
Beginning: How to Make a Living While Making a Life
Posted in choices, decision-making, money, time on November 28, 2011 | 2 Comments »
For a long time I’ve defined that I make a living as a product developer and I make a life by writing and teaching yoga. My dual-life can get exhausting, and more than that, I think it’s wasteful. And I hate waste of any kind. But this dual-life, in the short-term, is the safe road. [...]
Beginning: Planning Leads to Much More Than Plans

“Plans are useless…planning is indispensible.” ~ Einsenhower As a relentless planner and practitioner, I’ve sometimes wondered if I slog through this process in vain. After all, so few of my plans work out the way I want them to go, or the way I think I want them to go. Maybe planning is a waste [...]
Beginning: My E-reader Dilemma, Solved
Posted in books, choices, decision-making, technology, tagged postaday2011 on October 15, 2011 | 7 Comments »
I’ve changed my mind a hundred times on which e-reader to buy, that is once I decided I did want an e-reader. I love books, the feel and smell of them. I even like the feel of the weight in my hands, but not on my shoulders. I just finished Conversations with Myself, a collection [...]
Beginning: Let Your Mud Settle

“Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself? The Master doesn’t seek fulfillment. Not seeking, not expecting, Is present, and can welcome all things.” ~ Tao Teh Ching by Lao Tzu We are raring to go. [...]

“The grass isn’t greener on the other side. It’s greener where you water it.” ~ my pal, Sharni Earlier this week I wrote about my decision to turn down a recent job offer in favor of staying at my current company and pursing my own entrepreneurial projects through Compass Yoga and my writing. I have [...]
Beginning: Let Priorities Shape Reality
Posted in career, choices, decision-making, tagged postaday2011 on September 13, 2011 | 2 Comments »
“He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.” ~ Nietzche With my recent career decision, I had to get my priorities back in order. I used to think of priority setting as a one-and-done action. It’s actually a daily process, a constant tinkering based on new bits of information and [...]
