Humanist Thought of the Week

Humanism: Helps people cope without putting all their hope into what is essentially - a hoax

Being reality based - can be hard to do when you are stressed out. Learning how to cope with anxiety - without relying on the false hope of what are essentially hoaxes - is a really useful life skill. 

Productivity - it's ok that it ebbs and flows

Some days you are going to be really productive. Other days you will not. Productivity and motivation ebbs and flows. It's ok if somedays, you just can't focus to get work done. Do something else.  The next day will probably be better. 

Stumped by emotions

My new friend Kalai - is an expert on emotional intelligence.  He said that he defines stupidity as - stumped by your emotions.  I think he's right. The moments when I act stupidest - is when my emotions are controlling me.  What do you think?

Don't give up just because you had a setback

Play the long game. As long as you have an overall winning record, you are doing fine. 

When you hurt others, you hurt yourself. Choose your actions wisely

My son - was mad at me. The problem?  If he hurts me - he also hurts himself.  Life is full of choices. Choose your actions wisely.
