Say no to more learning. I need a break. I am learning so much about a few things: music and crypto. Two of my current passions. Now, I need to stop the learn and start acting. Playing, Writing, Practicing what I know. Get Better. Get Great. Then learn something new. I have a few crypto portfolios. Now it is time to put into action wha...

Don't get stuck in this room It makes your mind go out of tune Day to day it's all the same Change it up or you'll be late Push it out, get it out You gotta fight to win The sun won't burn But the darkness will

I've been writing haikus to improve my writing skills. Conveying a message in fewer words is powerful. Brevity is important to me. It doesn't work for all sentences, but when it does, it's impactful. I love to write and do daily in the forms of journal entries, posts here, tweets, marketing material for my day job. I can feel the words...

I do not know what to write about. I have been on the down/out for the past week. Kids were sick, I got sick. Blah. I consumed too much. Too little creating. Almost none. It's comfort and it is easy to fall back on. Comfort Kills. Kills Motivation. Kills Focus. Kills Energy. Kills Creativity. I write everything like a tweet these days....

Hustle mutha fuckas. There is a hustle in learning and in doing. Consuming vs creating. We want to spend our best hustle time creating. When anxiety pops up, it is usually a result of consuming more than I am creating. Too much input and not enough output. Thinking too much, procrastination, exhaustion, and even depression happen when ...

I am inspired and I know why: Intentional Living. There is a lot to Intentional living. Two things that have launched me on this fabulous ride: • Changing the Information I consume • Changing the food I consume I have been caught up in a river of ideas lately. This feels familiar, however, those 'feels' are a distant memory. My younger...

This is PART 1 of 4 of Getting on Track Did you get over the hump yesterday? Have you made any changes you are sticking to or are you still in the 'thinking about it' stage? Wherever you are, this will be a good conversation for us. Getting On Track Firstly - we NEED a track to be on. My 'track' may look different than yours. There hav...

Back to School. My kids and I have been anticipating this day. Overall Vibe: they are excited for the year. We are all praying and intending for this school year to be better than the shit show that was last year. The school board reversed their 8-1 decision to keep masking voluntary. They held two additional meetings for us all to air...

It was the beginning of my freshman year of college, August 1991. I graduated high school the year prior, but wasn't sure that I wanted to attend school. I took a year off and continued to work my shift supervisor job at Pizza Hut. At the time, this made me realize I wanted to go to school. I wanted better opportunities because I was d...

Save Yourself. Specifically save yourself from things out of your control. These days I intentionally avoid the monotonous cycle of breaking news headlines. 1. They frustrate me 2. I no longer believe them 3. They exclude valid truths Look at that list. Immediately, one thing stands out: Negativity. This is exactly what happens to me w...

Are you still learning? Learning = healthy brain activity. Keep that lump of fat in your head operating in a forward direction. I have always enjoyed learning. Somewhere along the way over the past few years, I grew stagnant. I became "too busy" to learn. This could be a semi-reflection of the defeat I was feeling about my health. I di...

Note: This will be part of a series. Buzzwords. Which camp are you in? I've been in both. I am in both. How the Lifestylers view the Dieters, for the most part A little backstory. As a kid, I was always skinny. It didn't bother me until late high school and into my early 20's. Oh, if I only knew how things would get later in life. Duri...

If anyone is interested in a beautifully hand written Keto Startup Guide, look no further. My inspired and creative wife made this for one of our friends. I took one look at it and said, "We need to share this!". I am sharing this now. Eat less, live more baby! -DB

Are you a Hustler, baby? I see this word everywhere on the internet, so it must be important, right? Hustle, hustle, hustle. That made me tired and wanting to avoid the Hustle, just writing it out 3x. I like the Hustle and I believe in the Hustle. I Hustle quite a bit myself. It's quite addicting. Ever feel stuck in the Hustle? Maybe i...

Lame title, but you get the gist. These are foods you will want to eat and have on hand. � Note: Grass-Fed Beef/Butter, Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon is highly recommended. High in Omega-3 rather than Omega-6. Avoid Added Sugar Drinks: Water Coffee (try bulletproofing: add grass-fed butter and MCT oil in a blender) Tea Meats: Beef (any cu...

Ah, the joy of starting something new. Wait a tick, Joy? What about excuses, when starting something new? These excuses, mind you, are rooted in anxiety, worry, doubt, unknown, etc. I'm going to refer to this with the "F" word. You know, the one... fear. By no means am I a motivational speaker or life coach. I am just like you, relatab...

Dave Ramsey's 'Total Money Makeover' book has been around for 20+ years. I have purchased at least three different copies. I have gotten started and stopped a half dozen times and never finish following through. Life gets in the way or I get in the way of life. Starting the steps again and sticking to it this time. I am confident about...

Each Day, Katie, the kids and myself are doing at least ONE thing to progress our journey in minimalism. This morning, I filled two kitchen sized garbage bags of junk and unneeded items in my office. I still have a ways to go, to create the workspace I want, but I am on my way. I have a spot set aside for Photography Gear to Sell, some...

I stole this moniker from George Bruno. Summer Shred = losing the extra fat on your body. My wife and I started a Keto Lifestyle in June 2021 and it is going better than I could have imagined. Since starting this I am down 14lbs. I am always satiated, not hungry or thinking about food. I have more energy, my focus is better. I get hung...

I cannot remember where I read these, probably from an instagram post. I believe these are from Warren Buffet, but I could be wrong. Regardless of the origin, these are some solid principles. 1. Know that your only competition, is who YOU were from Yesterday. 2. Earn, Save, Invest - BEFORE SPENDING. 3. Avoid Negative People. LIFE is to...

I have been interested in minimalism for years. I have 'dabbled' in it, but as with most things, interest gets lost and I go back to comfort. As time goes on, accumulation and consumption continues. Frustration arises when things cannot be located when needed. Sometimes the solution is buying another copy of that item. Then without a d...

How it’s going:

This is a test for my own little spot in the Hey World.
