You know, as I’ve gotten older I’ve been getting questions from all corners as to when I’m going to get married.
I’m not only getting it from my parents, but also from friends, friends of family, relatives, friends’ parents, friends’ relatives, ministers, acquaintances, etc, the list goes on.
They all want to know why I’m not married yet. Read more…
As I’ve decided that this year, 2011, being an incredible breakthrough year for me isn’t an option, I’ve come to realize in my path of self discovery that to make this declaration into a reality, I need to adopt an attitude of entitlement. Read more…
It was the year 2008 and a good friend of mine invited me to come to a birthday party of one of his friends.
When I got to the birthday party, I met up with my friend who invited me and he introduced me to the “birthday girl.”

I began to tease her about not reaching a certain, “coveted” level in the organization, knowing full well in the forefront of my mind that I had not only not reached the said level of the organization, but I also had quit and was no longer a part of it.
You know, when I first completed this site, I considered this a milestone in my life. After years of writing about The Viable Alternative, I finally was able to compile it all into one neat little site. I beamed with pride at what I considered an intellectual masterpiece of all the insights that helped me on my path of personal development.
Well, after my “crowing achievement”, when I realized all was “done”, I excitedly email several trusted friends of mine who’ve been what I’ve considered confidants on my path of self-discovery and tell them to check out my site.
One of my friends, who has been a trusted mentor of mine, gave me what my ego considered to be some damning feedback about my site. Now, I always welcome constructive criticism from trusted and well meaning people, because it helps me to grow and work on my blindspots. However, due to fact that I am a sensitive person by nature, (a quality that I have always loathed about myself), the feedback was quite stinging.
