July 9, 2020September 18, 2020David R. Michaels

I’ve been contemplating on my life purpose a lot lately. Why am I here? What’s my purpose in life? Here’s what I’ve come up with so far. I’m here to add more love, laughter, play, joy, pleasure, hope, healing, connection, and creativity into the world. That’s my mission. Bonus objectives…Continue readingLife Purpose

If Someone Judges You…

February 15, 2020April 29, 2020David R. Michaels

If I’m just being my honest, authentic self and somebody judges or criticizes me about it — that’s on them, not me. Yes, I’m a little weird. I have quirks. I’m a dork. I like being a little playful, silly, eccentric, and goofy at times. I’m totally straight and serious…Continue readingIf Someone Judges You…

Shifting to a New Question

April 7, 2019May 3, 2019David R. Michaels

Is there a silent, constant, unconscious question driving you? Deep within your subconscious mind, there may be a question that’s driving you. You may not even be aware of it at all.

Deeper Into the Wilderness

April 5, 2019May 3, 2019David R. Michaels

It’s 1:26 AM and I can’t fall asleep. I’ve tried meditating. I’ve tried eating a little food. I tried just laying there with my eyes closed. Nope, nada. My brain and body are tired and ready to sleep — but my heart’s nagging me about something. Something I can’t quite…Continue readingDeeper Into the Wilderness

I Need Rest

March 16, 2019May 3, 2019David R. Michaels

My life came to an abrupt halt recently. I mean like an all-stop, sudden, hard, hit-a-wall, sixty-to-zero in 5 seconds flat kind of halt. It left me feeling very lost, confused, and a little scared. Here’s what happened: Go-Go-Go-GO!!! This isn’t the first time I’ve lived in Los Angeles.…Continue readingI Need Rest

Giving Up Control

October 18, 2018May 3, 2019David R. Michaels

Man, I am such a workaholic. Like seriously, it’s an addiction. I can’t — stop — thinking — about work! And not in the good way, like, “I love my job so much, I’m so excited, I can’t wait to do it again!” Ironically, the work I love doing (writing,…Continue readingGiving Up Control
