What's YOUR "Visionary IX" Rating...Hmm?
I started getting involved in the "innovation" movement around 2012, stemming from my intention of doing creativity training for businesses. I had several years experience teaching teen-agers in the '80s on how to be creative with my own program as a means to provide an alternative for them doing drugs. That was the era of "Just Say No" and "This Is Your Brain On Drugs"...

Hiding Chronic Illness
"The worst part of living with a chronic illness is knowing the whole world doubts you." In 2015 I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or IBS, after months of agonizingly wondering what was wrong with me. I was 20 years old, attending college, working, and planning a wedding. Life was stressful even as a healthy young woman. As the year went on I started having trouble eating. I would feel blown up, like one of those giant balloons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade that I watched every year with my Nana. Sometimes, I'd spend the night throwing up mourning the delicious food my body would never get to digest. Some weeks I wouldn't be able to eat a single thing without worrying I'd pop, simply explode on the spot.

26
Twenty six is that sweet spot where you are now closer to 30 and you still kind of feel like you are in your early 20’s and the world around you is telling you that you should act like an adult. You might feel like you are faking it every single day just to get by and show people that you have your life together. I am very guilty of this.

Getting out of your comfort zone to achieve what you want
I’ve been there. You have an idea, it’s a wonderful idea. Do you have every little detail planned out? No. Do you understand the concept so well that you KNOW you can do it you just haven’t for whatever reason? Yes. So how do you change from the planning stage and start actually doing it: especially when you’re terrified of everything going unbelievably wrong?

An Opinionated Guide to the Journaling Habit
Last week, Journal #4 hit the shelf, and I realized: I've journaled every single day for ~2.5 years. I've hand-written over 1,000 pages. The consistency was surprising to look back on. The surprise was that before this, I had never been a Reliable Randy, I had never journaled, and I had never stuck to any habit long-term (though I'd tried many times). So, what changed?

One Day Under An Open Sky
In a summer day, the air was very cool and fresh to inhale and clouds were also there on the sky with multi colors due to sunlight- which was about to set. It was looking such a charming vista. It was just like an eye capturing view. In this scenario I was completely obsessed with my thoughts coming to my mind one after another. Almost four birds were also flying in the open air, right above me in the sky. They were competing each other in form of couples in circular motion with full zeal. Lost in my own thoughts, I was just sitting on the floor in a very pleasant mood. By looking at those birds I began to reflect my personal life in my own sight and mind. The comparison which I made of my life with those flying birds- was such like our practical lives.

Lost in the race
StStarLost in the race. This morning, when I looked at myself in the mirror, I could see a confident woman with a beautiful smile dancing on her lips. She gazed back, right into my eyes, with oodles of passion and enthusiasm. She looked with sheer ardency, as if saying, that she will make it big one day. The look was fantabulous. She looked wonderfully assertive. She looked perfect.

Hurry Up & Wait!
Dear the inner you. You know, the one that you don’t understand- yet. How many times have you retracted your hand from that metaphorical knob? Frozen, thawing in the face of this narrow lit door. You know what I'm talking about. The windows too small to see the entirety of the other side, sometimes it’s just fogged. This is the door to an opportunity. Outside (and I mean right outside) of your comfortable zone. The room that you’ve encapsulated yourself in is comfortable enough. Just enough to survive.

10 Ways to Fall in Love With Yourself
The chaos in the world has stirred up a lot of hate, and as a result, many of us have forgotten how to love ourselves!! Sadly, a lack of self-love goes hand-in-hand with depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, and other changes in your emotional and physical state. We start to feel like we are not good enough, like no one cares about us or loves us... I’ve even felt like my existence was pointless. We eventually slowly begin to checkout of reality to find a way to cope. Sometimes we may not notice it, but others around us probably will.
