in imageHaving ADHD means that sometimes people will think you're being pretentious or overly articulate but in reality its because you forget basic words and have to use whatever synonym your brain could find at the time, which just so happens to be weirdly specific and overly formal.
we both have gray in our beard, huh?
Yoga is meant to create a greater awareness of the totality of human experience – – and that means all the joy and the sorrow along the way. But I know for sure, when I’m practicing Yoga, I feel better— it reminds me I’m alive.
There was a time when I practiced Ashtanga yoga and I had a real idea of getting ahead— more poses, prettier, stronger. But as many of you know, ive had major challenges along the way—body and mind. But my spirit… I noticed that when my feelings around practices moved towards sorrow or frustration, a friction would arise. Sometimes you just have to watch yourself get hot, ya know? Its so important not to flinch or look away from your feelings! Periods of difficulty or ‘stink’ are just inherent to pursuing ambition.
The frustration I experienced within my yoga practice is of what I think I want my practice to be, and it has a way of stealing the joy from whatever my practice is. Youve heard these things before.
Once youve seen it, the way that our reactions dont align with our espoused beliefs— and appreciating the humanity in it - it takes hypeocict and turns it into levity— its FUNNY to be so bent out of shape about something so full of joy.
Healthy ambition must exist in the realm of non harming, and so when our desires for advancement bring us suffering, we must know it isn’t just about advancement— be ause a real yoga is equimonious. No, it’s about fear of death and the reality of dying before i get some brass ring (or perpetually moving goalpost).
But like I said, once youve seen see it, you cant unsee it.
And, ya know, im still having fun.
And when I’m not, I say something like “try to have a good time before ya die, wouldnt ya, hall?”

in imageMARKETING IS THE ONLY JOB LEFT TODAY.
WANNA BE AN ARTIST?
BETTER LEARN HOW TO MARKET YOURSELF.
WANNA BE A SCIENTIST?
YOU MUST PRESENT YOUR IDEAS IN A WAY THAT'S
MARKETABLE SO YOU CAN SECURE RESEARCH GRANTS.
WANT ANY ENTRY-LEVEL JOB ANYWHERE?
TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF. SELL YOURSELF TO US.
WHAT MAKES YOU STAND OUT FROM THERE REST?
ALSO, THE WAY YOU NEED TO MARKET YOURSELF
IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING, LIKE FASHION TRENDS.
SO ACTUALLY, FASHION IS THE ONLY JOB LEFT.
