The War Of Art by Steven Pressfield is a phenomenal book. Read it. I especially love it because Pressfield names the sucky feeling we all have inside whenever we embark on a new project. That feeling of doubt. Of not being up to the task. Of procrastinating. Of wanting to pivot and do something else. AnythingContinue reading “The Resistance Is Real”

Yes, it’s another basketball post. Sorry, I can’t help myself. Besides basketball being my first love, I’m watching “The Last Dance” right now. It’s incredible–definitely watch–and it’s bringing up all sorts of thoughts for me. Here’s one… Michael Jordan famously had a “Love Of The Game” clause in his contract with the Chicago Bulls. ItContinue reading “For Love Of The Art”

“To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities.” -Bruce Lee I couldn’t resist another post and quote from my man Bruce. This one’s been knocking around in my head for months.

It just means they will de different. And different can be a great thing. Truth is, we needed toContinue reading “Nothing Will Ever Be The Same”

1986. Miami Beach, Florida. North Shore Park. Outdoor basketball courts. Night. Under the sodium lights. I’m thirteen. I’m short. And a little bit chubby. (The polite term back then was “husky.”) But I can shoot…when I’m wide open. As usual, I’m practicing by myself on a separate basket. One of the adults on the “grownContinue reading “It Doesn’t Matter”

It’s easy to look around and diagnose the problems. How many books, articles and news stories do nothing but that? Day after day. An unending stream of “let me show you how bad things are”; “why we’re in this mess; “who’s to blame.” Sadly, most of it is designed to hold our attention spans hostage.Continue reading “Solutions”

You’re not doing this play and this role because of vanity. You’re not doing the difficult, often thankless, producing work because “it’s good to get up there.” You’re not doing it because you want to “showcase your talents.” You’re not doing it because you want people to come up to you at the end ofContinue reading “Vanity Project”
