Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
You’re being attacked. Someone at work, in your community, relentlessly pushing every button you have. Your body wants to fight back. Your mind rehearses the perfect comeback. And kindness says: don’t. Not because you’re weak. Because you’re strategic. Real kindness is the hard assessment that this person—unstable, unwell in ways you can’t diagnose—will only escalate […]

I’m writing about covering up – favorably known as CYA – Covering Your Ass. It can be for a good reason or for a bad reason. To protect oneself from blame, negative consequences, mistakes, and failures. We CYA at work by meeting responsibilities and doing the best work we can. Or we cover to get […]

You’re being lied to about retirement. About aging. About when you’re supposed to be done and fade away. Science tells you it’s genetics—that centenarians won the lottery, that your lifespan was determined at birth. Meanwhile, society whispers that at 65, maybe 70, you should gracefully withdraw. Stop working. Stop contributing. Accept irrelevance. Harvard’s 85-year Study […]

When the walls close in—when your ego’s been punched hard, mistakes exposed, or promises broken—there’s a powerful urge to just run. Quit. Disappear before the full truth emerges. Maybe you’ve been working in old, comfortable ways that don’t work anymore. Perhaps you’ve neglected projects, hurt people without taking responsibility, or made choices that are now […]

Seth Godin nails it when he describes strategy as recognizing the games we’re in – complete with players, rules, scarcity, choices, and outcomes. We’re all navigating serious games every day: building financial security, maintaining our health, contributing to our communities, staying culturally relevant, participating in civic life. These games have real stakes. They shape who […]

People arrive and depart from our lives with remarkable regularity. Some stay for coffee, others for chapters. Not all of them become friends, and that’s perfectly fine. Friendly matters. Friendship isn’t always necessary. Here’s a question worth asking: What am I choosing to learn? Every person who crosses your path carries a curriculum and choices […]

Nobody declares this. You don’t wake up announcing, “Today I become mediocre.” It starts smaller. A corner cut here, a detail skipped there. “Just this once” becomes your new operating system. You tell yourself you’re being efficient. But efficiency and careless? Not the same thing. Because here’s what happens: You choose to care less, and […]

What if we’ve been wrong about greed? Not all of it—the destructive kind deserves every criticism it gets. The accumulation without purpose. The insatiable hunger for more titles, more money, more control. The kind of vindictive greed that burns relationships and sells out your deepest values for another zero in the bank account. That greed […]

What does it cost us to stop everything and truly connect with another person? I know a man who works hard for me, tending gardens and mowing. I respect him. His child is ill. Today I’m frequently stopping my day to check on him, to let him know he’s not alone, that someone sees what […]

You know you’re neglecting things. The relationship that’s fading because you don’t call back. The skill you once had that’s weakening from disuse. Your own body—the appointment you keep postponing, the pain you’re ignoring. The promise you made to yourself that’s gathering dust. You tell yourself it’s on your list. You’ll get to it. Later. […]
