Why You Should Meditate
Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom – Viktor E. Frankl
Meditation is a great way to make that “space” bigger, as are several kinds of self reflection. Watching yourself in the moment, seeing where your thoughts take you without judgement, helps you to understand your own mind. It isn’t easy, and it takes time to develop this awareness of your own response, but over time your ability to change your response (in this case steer away from certain thoughts and toward better ones) does get better.

Confession of the Day
My daughter died 5 years ago today and a part of me is glad about that. Makes me sound horrible. I know. I would never say this out loud to anyone ever.
How Does Welding Work?
Welding in its most basic form is simply heating two materials until they melt together, usually adding a bit of extra metal to make the joint stronger.
The most common type of welding is arc welding, which uses a small electric arc to generate the heat for melting the metals. And there are three main types of Arc welding, MIG, TIG, and Stick. While each one is different, they all use an electrode (to generate the arc), a filler metal (to create the weld bead) and something to ‘shield’ the weld from being contaminated by oxygen.
Hot New Music of the Day
The homie sent over a new music video from neo-psychedelic rock band Pearl Earl. It’s called “Evil Does It” and it’s off their latest album It’s Dread that was just released. The song details the insanity that is celebrity worship and a society that is plagued by over consumerism. Fuzzy bass, reverb soaked guitars and hard-hitting vocals make this song a standout.
Picture of the Day
The world’s most faithful dog, Hachiko. After his master’s death, he waited for his return in the same location every single day for almost 10 years until he too passed away.
The enduring bond between a man and his dog is a tale as old as time itself. The story of Hachiko, a dog whose loyalty to his owner transcended even death, stands out among the countless heartwarming tales of canine-human relationships.
“I Wish I Hadn’t Live Life as If It Would Last Forever “
We have it all backward. We spend our work hours helping someone else build their dream, and spend our free time watching TV and surfing the internet. We think we enjoy these things – but this is a lie.
The truth is that these mindless things distract us from achieving the things we really want to achieve in life. They make us forget that time is the most precious and irreplaceable commodity in the world.
When your final countdown begins, you cannot buy more time. Not even if you’re a billionaire (Steve Jobs died at 56!) The time you’ve spent is all there is.
What’s scary? You don’t know when that final countdown will come. It may be fifty years from now, or ten years – or tomorrow. You’ll never know…
