Supporting You in Your Desire to Change
by Michael Feeley
We’re back at moment-to-moment choices. Will you be above board, open, transparent, up front, honest, or will you be underhanded, hide things, deceive, go behind people’s backs, fool? Above board originated in card games where you keep your hand on the top of the table to prove there’s no cheating. Underhanded is when you hide […]

I’m studying rumination loops – that mental merry-go-round, the hamster wheel. What strikes me is that the mechanism itself isn’t inherently destructive – it’s the direction we aim it. The brain’s tendency to return, repeat, and reinforce? That’s actually powerful. We’ve just been aiming it at our wounds rather than at our possibilities. Here’s what […]

You have the power to be an avenger. The question is – what for? You can avenge justice. Fight for truth when it’s been trampled. Stand up for people who’ve been wronged. Channel your outrage into accountability, your anger into advocacy. This kind of avenging can exhaust you, yes, but it doesn’t hurt or break […]

I often coach people about bullies and have discovered that the more facts you have about a punisher, the more scientific the truth, the more it instantly relieves the pain. You’re studying a person’s mind and choices. Knowledge is freedom. So here we go: Psychology has extensively studied chronic revenge-seeking and intentional harm-doing, revealing a […]

Some people welcome kindness like sunlight. They expect it, respond to it, feel instant gratitude. The exchange is clean, mutual, life-giving. Others armor themselves against it. They deflect kindness offered to them. They withhold it from others. When you extend your hand, they turn away—sometimes with rudeness, sometimes with insults, sometimes with calculated indifference and […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
