Consistency, or continuation towards mastery in the “one thing” is tough. But to even get on the court, or to even see if we are aligned with the journey, we need to start. The thing is, we don’t need to start on the exact end product right now. We just need to practice starting something. Something...

It’s easy to teach the technicalities of the process, the movement, the sport, or the profession. It’s hard to teach people to get on the court and play the game and truly care. This is as true on the output side as it is on the restorative side. It’s easy to teach the method of...

When the race cars are tuned before, during and after a race, they likely don’t need lights on the dash board for a blocked particulate filter or blown tail light.  When I worked on F/A-18...

It influences mass markets and crowd behaviour.  The Bandwagon effect includes the the tendency to do (or believe) things just because many other people do (or believe) the same.
