The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  In the relentless pursuit of success, men often buy into the myth of invincibility. It's a narrative that whispers seductive promises of unassailable achievement, a siren call that lures us into believing we can conquer the world without consequence.

We're living in an era where the cult of busyness is glorified, where 'success' often translates to...

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  At the core of who we are & how we engage with the world lies a fundamental duality: being & doing. These two concepts shape our experiences, choices, & perceptions. Understanding the difference between being & our addiction to doing can lead us to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Recent research shows that even though approximately 95% of people THINK they have "self-awareness", only about 10-15% really do! We have been generously gifted the ability to change our lens, but so few folks choose to actually embrace & use it! Fundamentally WE are the only person who CAN change our lens! To choose to change our lens means we are choosing to hold & execute control on the only parts of our lives we are able to, ourselves!...

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Deepak Chopra said "When you make choices, you change the future!"

That being said, many many folks don't even take advantage of them and actually make choices! It's tragic that we hold the keys to our own success in our hands much...

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  We all need to give ourselves the grace we so freely give to so many others around us!

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  I think all of us at one time or another have searched out or googled information for a "life hack" to get us through some kind of situation at home or work. We sometimes want an easier, quicker way out, or through to our goals, at times pushing out the full experience that the journey through would provide us with.

The Long Bearded Guy ~ Gordon D. Melville  Over the history of time the roles of men & women have been modified in many ways, especially in the last 60 or 70 years.
