I stumbled upon a few websites that if you are a nostalgic Generation Xer like me, you might well like these throwback webspace. They are reminiscent of the weird and wonderful places that were spawned in places like Geocities and Livejournal.Here are the links I mention in the episode:NeocitiesStatus CafeDeadjournal

This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it."We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions."It's a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: "We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour."Here's why it caught my attention.When we observe other people, we only see their actions and behaviours. We make assumptions about their intentions.Our judgments, good or bad, about another person's actions and behaviours are made from limited information.Flip it around.Before you take action, you know your intention. You have the internal context behind your actions and behaviours.But other people observing you don't. They make assumptions about the intentions behind your actions and behaviours.How often do your actions and behaviours not represent your intentions?For example, my intention was to do the dishes before my wife came home from work.But I got caught up in answering an important email.I had good intentions, but what my wife sees is no action, which coul

Do you like a good daydream? I know I do. But here’s why daydreaming can be dangerous and why you should use your discretion when daydreaming.

We get ourselves twisted in knots when we become attached to certain outcomes and resist others. Better to let go and go with the flow while staying focused on the process, not the outcome.

We all know the map is not the territory. It's not until you get on the ground and see the terrain with your own eyes that a way forward can be planned in accordance with the sensory details around you at the time of departure. In this episode, I share a metaphor of the mountain trail and how it is like life.

Would you be interested in an audio bloggers' social network?

#AudioMo Day 28

Dave Winer, the American software developer, often talks about natural-born bloggers or NBBs. This got me wondering if people like us, who participate in #AudioMo are NBPs.

It's #Audiomo Day 20 and I'm back on the home front trying to get into the groove of the daily grind.

It's #audiomo Day 19. Today's cast is inspired by the radio legend that is the late Joe Frank.Music:Sleepy + Hungry by BaegelUnfettered by Jobii

I couldn't participate in #audiomo without doing at least one cast on music. 

It's #AudioMo Day 7.In today's audioblog, I take a quick detour and share in the frustration that @daylightgambler and @katesparkle expressed earlier in the week before diving into my main topic of lists.

It's Day 6 of #audiomo or audio bloggers' month. Today, I talk briefly about this idea of feeling a sense of belonging at work. Do you feel psychologically safe enough at work to be your authentic self? Do you feel a sense of belonging that allows you to flourish as an individual?h/t: @julianstodd

What is it exactly that I am trying to do and for what purpose? As Agent Smith says, without purpose we have nothing. Without purpose, we would not exist.It was purpose that created usPurpose that connects usPurpose that pulls usPurpose that guides usPurpose that drives usIt is purpose that defines usPurpose that binds usSo again, what is my purpose?

Even the best of us get tripped up by the things we preach about regularly. And today, I got tripped up, but I quickly caught myself, made the necessary adjustments, and then soldiered on.My final conclusion on time is this: the only time you truly don't have time to do something is when you're dead.

Keep moving forward. One of a handful of mantras, I keep in my back pocket, ready for recall when I need them. And this week, I had to remind myself that regardless of setbacks, I must keep moving forward, even sometimes if that means leaving someone behind.Don't read too much into this. Nothing drastic has happened. But I have had to make some changes to one of my projects.In this episode, I'll update you on what's going on in the soulcruzer creatorverse.As always, thanks for listening.Peace and love,ClayTip Jar
