Jeff- as an adopter of your very early videos related to how to increase one's ability to earn financial rewards I am so much more inspired by your reincarnation as a muse rather than a striving entrepreneur who inspired so many to look for "out of the box" options for wealth.
There are small hints of the old "circus barker", but this newly displayed muse appears to be striving to understand life(like the rest of us). Your discussions, because that is what they are, inspire thoughtful introspection, a chance for us to look at our own thoughts while reading yours. That space allows us to grow-just a little closer to understanding the challenges and the opportunities we have been blessed with. So thanks for sharing so much of what's inside you and I look forward to growing with you and your devoted fan base.
A former yoga instructor of mine said suffering is caused by the difference between what is and what we wish it to be. Your beautiful piece captures the tension and the struggle. I have found it true that acceptance minimizes suffering. Doesn't mean it is easy. Or that mastering it in one situation makes new ones easier. But the insight helps, and like you, I write to advance the process.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. This somehow made me feel like someone understood exactly where im at right now, and, make peace with it. Your writing is a journey.
Excellent rumination. Your thinking is clear and your writing sparkles. It helps me sit in the tension of living as a spiritual being while wearing my humanity.
Good word. It is a tension/balance between being conscientious and recognizing what lies beyond our control. We only really learn that through experience.
This article beautifully captures the paradox of life and the struggle between bravery and acceptance. It's thought-provoking to consider when to challenge our circumstances and when to embrace them. The author mentions the importance of surrendering to what is while also maintaining a sense of ambition. I resonate with these ideas, but I find myself wondering. How do we strike a balance between striving for change and finding contentment in the present moment? Please feel free to ask any specific questions you may have about writing; I'm here to help.
The question on mine and my friends’ minds these days: Are humans doomed to be malcontents? How can we Be Here Now while having desires and goals? You’ve addressed our thoughts in this post. Thank you.
I had an opportunity once to do some cartoon work for a noted publisher. Around the same time a website platform asked me to create a weekly comic strip for them, which I agreed to do. Later, on the arranged phone call with the publisher, I got the cold shoulder. Apparently he wanted exclusivity with my work, and blew me off. I guess opportunities come and go, sometimes we make costly mistakes, and sometimes the stars align in our favor. Here’s to the stars aligning soon for you, Jeff.
A Life You Would Love—and the One You Get

Fantastic post Jeff. Your words “With enough time, almost any challenge becomes a source of levity”, are definitely sitting with me.
Love this! Especially this: even on weeks when you feel like a fuck-up. Perhaps it’s all going to be okay.
I put it in my notes. My new mantra 😉
