7 Japanese Concepts That Can Improve Your Life

guest-author — Fri, 28 Jul 2023 21:34:24 +0000

Besides instilling in me a desire to crane-kick everyone, The Karate Kid ...implanted a nascent interest in Japanese culture. When I was five, I remember cobbling together a small Shinto shrine out of construction paper, popsicle sticks, and Elmer’s glue so I could have a setup similar to Mr. Miyagi’s dojo in my bedroom. It’s funny to think about a five-year-old church-going kid living in the middle of Oklahoma creating a Shinto shrine for himself.

My appreciation for Japanese culture has deepened since then and continues today. One of the things I love about the Japanese is.... (Read on...)

Fear and Entrepreneurship: The Psychology of What Scares Us

guest-author — Thu, 21 Sep 2017 18:47:36 +0000

Your stomach ties itself into a knot and your heart races nowhere as your mind sorts through every conceivable worst case scenario. We call it “fear” and our instincts scream for us to avoid whatever source it stems from. But as irrational as it often is, as silly as it sometimes seems when you witness it in others, fear is something we have to continually confront throughout our lives. Entrepreneurs especially—so steeped in uncertainty as they are—have to learn how to live with fear if they want to go far. Because perhaps the scariest thing about fear is how it

Your effectiveness and ability to seek abundance is directly tied to your health, your energy, your attitude and your physical state. Nature really has given us all we need for excellence in these areas. Industrialized man has simply forgone this and substituted empty processed “food” formulated by food scientists and pushed by Madison Avenue to sell product at the expense of our health. Ancient cultures long ago found the benefits of many of the natural products we take as simply cooking ingredients or spces. Whenever I can, I look for nature’s answers to man’s problems.
