The Health Question

We often ask ourselves, "why bother?". Why bother eating healthy if I'm going to hate every meal, constantly yearn for something more and only net myself an extra 2 - 5 years of life, if that. After all, aren't 60 to 70 years of good meals preferable to 62 - 75 years of blah meals? Even though I still struggle with implementing the change, I can offer you two very good reasons for attempting to do so. The first is your children, those you have now or those you may someday have, especially the ones you may someday have. The second is that everything you've been told about eating healthy is a lie.

Do or Do Not - Thoughts

I read an article the other day that was excellent, but it had a different interpretation of the famous Yoda quote "There is no try.  Do or do not".  The article briefly asserted that the quote implied that there was no reason to try anything if you were not assured of success.  I happen to disagree and left a comment to that effect. You can read the comment in its mostly unaltered state below.

Making the Most of Your Time

I wrote this in response to another blog article that I read recently and felt it was worth sharing here as well.

The balance between stuff and a sense of purpose is one I've been struggling with for some time.  Perhaps, though, it would be more accurate to say the balance between mere entertainment and time well spent; because time well spent creates a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and while "stuff" often falls into the entertainment category, one can waste time just as easily without wasting money too.
