The ManBoy Edition

Where it counts, we’re all the same
Either a prison or a playground
To live is to explore
What if you were broke forever?
You already have everything you need
You can only take one step at a time
Your life is more important than “the news”
People are going to hate you
You cannot “tempt” fate
Today creates tomorrow
If it’s possible for someone…
Some prick with a drill
Life improves all by itself via negativa
By the Hammer of Thor! 101 Posts in 101 Days
An Oliver in Motion Tends to Remain in Motion
Don’t Put Tomatoes in the Toaster
The World Doesn’t Give a Shit About What You Might Do
The Promises You Make, the Promises You Break
Simple is Beautiful
The Gravitational Pull of the Status Quo
You choose the colours with which you paint the world
Let’s Go to the Movies: Lucinda, Jorge, and Rajnigandha
Be an Auteur
Worrying… Both Seductive, and Completely Pointless
The Goose That Lays the Golden Egg
Words Can’t Describe the Best Things in Life
Your Mind at War
The Glory of the Quick-Fix
To Live Is to Change, to Change Is to Live
If a Robot Steals Your Job, Thank It.
It’s All in How You Frame It
The Infuriating Inevitability of Creation
Own the Negative, Discover the Positive
I Gave up Drinking for Lent
Living With Intention
Do the Right Thing. Today.
This try probably doesn’t matter
Time is the beat. You are the rhythm.
Amor Fati & Everything Is a Bonus
Live Well Because You Can
Maybe You Don’t Know What Everyone Else Should Do
You Are Not a Blank Canvas
My “Medici: Masters of Florence” experiment
Generosity and attitude
Do you need to get a job?
Don’t pretend things are worse than they are
Hit your pillow happy tonight
You are as powerful as your ability to say “no.”
The “Ham and Worming Tablet” School of Marketing
Everyone is trying their best.
Err on the side of action.
Concentrate your forces
Forge the path only you could forge
What is school for?
What are they going to mock us mercilessly for in 2100?
What will I be glad that I did?
The rain doesn’t care how loud you shout for it to stop.
Let’s stop pretending racism is anything more than insecurity
Add resistance, not just difficulty
Work deeply, or not at all
Make it easier for yourself
Living problem to problem
Make it personal
Zig when they expect you to zag
Stop wasting time
Your past = your future
The difference between writing and typing
Keith James, Leonard Cohen, and taking your time
Fill your present moment with meaning
Do the right thing, especially when it feels impossible.
Personal freedom
