    Is There a Way to Stop Seeing Singles as "The Enemy"? (Part 1.)

    I hear that said a lot and it baffles me. Lowering the bar doesn’t equal satisfaction or contentment. It’s better for them to pursue what they seek than settle with someone and resent what he lacks. If she’s looking for broccoli and you’re asparagus move on to the next. People like what they...

    Did you ever inquire why that’s the case? Some men are willing to accept a child if she possesses qualities he desires in the measure he wants. If she enters with others beyond that her value is raised. In spite of the impediments some would cite. Attractiveness, wealth, poise, social...

    If the Serial Fornicator is More Forgiven and Accepted than the Divorced Person, Why Bother Risking Marriage?

    The vow is the tipping point. The marriage failed and no one is privy to the reasons. Few can scrutinize both parties and hear their story. In most instances, you’re hearing from one person. Humans are apt to clean things up a bit. No one is eagerly lining up to marry womanizers or someone...

    Doing your own thing

    Because intelligence isn’t a predicator for success and most who develop wealth aren’t the brightest or top of their class. They don’t have to be. Their creativity, ingenuity, and risk tolerance is greater than most. And they know how to fail. They have an owner mindset and develop skills and...
