Joi — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:53:13 +0000

I hear from a number of wonderful readers of Out of Bounds who are dealing with (or have recently dealt with) an addiction of some kind. A recent e-mail came from a man who had “licked” alcohol abuse thanks to a program in his community. As common sense would dictate, the pull of the addiction [...]

Self Growth Generally Doesn’t Happen in a Recliner

Joi — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 13:59:26 +0000

This morning I went about my normal, blissful, much-beloved morning routine. I fed my inside cat, Alexa. I fed my outside cat Ming Li and tried to catch a site of Ming Li’s kittens and baby daddy. The daddy (Jet Li) was nowhere to be found, but the adorable babies were running amok. Then I [...]

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is therefore not an act, but a habit. – Aristotle I’ve been thinking a great deal about habits lately. The addition of a new, positive habit and the continued battle with a not so positive one started the train of thought. A couple of days ago, I found [...]

The Pursuit of Happiness or How to Be Happy

Joi — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 15:43:24 +0000

I’ve been thinking and writing a great deal about happiness lately. As I explained on another blog (Self Help Daily), I’ve received a great number of e-mails from people lately dealing with the blues, depression, and the pursuit of happiness.

Marijuana is a Crutch For the Ridiculously Weak

Joi — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 14:55:22 +0000

First of all, before I say anything else – I want you to know that I don’t look down on anyone. I may have my share of faults, but one thing I can say about myself is that I do not judge others. I was cut from “live your life and let others live theirs” [...]

I have a very special person I’d love to introduce you to today. His name is Darryl Hagar and he is a fighter. I once wrote a post, on another one of my blogs, entirely about fighters. There’s something remarkable about a person who steps up to a demon, looks him squarely in the eye [...]
