This week’s final tip/lesson/observation comes from my personal philosophy on life. I’ve got ideas on life, love, health, wealth, work, recreation, and observation. I can’t sum up all of my philosophy in one statement (I wish I could) but I can say this: it’s never as bad as it seems, because life keeps moving forward.

To quote a favorite movie of mine “It can’t rain all the time.”

It’s important to remember that during the ups and downs on the path towards accomplishment. Sometimes it’s sunny and breezy; sometimes it’s dark and stormy. But it can’t rain all the time. And if you pay attention, you can usually find more sunny days than dark.

Call me an optimist I guess.

Stay tuned for wednesdays posting from the digital man cave.

Tonight’s lesson is appropriate for the hour actually. It’s late, and we’re going to talk about your To-Do list . At some point you have to put the list down. It’s very very easy to get stuck on the idea that you need to keep going until everything is done. It is assumed that a new business or new idea requires all of your time, energy and focus. This is true to a point.

Today’s lesson from the digital man cave is a quick tip and reminder about what you’ll need to reach your goals. When you’re learning something  new and challenging (like a language, a new skill, an instrument, new profession, etc.) there are many things to keep in mind. Many things to take into consideration. But there is only one thing you have to remember to get where you want to go.

Today’s lesson from the digital man cave is about something I struggle with all the time. But since my little week of truth speaking is almost over, I might as well talk about something scary. Plus it’s Thanksgiving so I’ll be brief!

That picture over there  is meant to illustrate a point about life. Self-expression. You have to express yourself. For the sake of giving the world something it hasn’t seen before, and for your own sense of being.

Today’s lesson from the digital man cave is just a reminder about your use of social media.

Some do it right and some do it wrong, but however you do it just remember: Social media is for socializing!

Today’s second lesson from the digital man cave is more interpersonal than action oriented. I recently read/skimmed an article about Bill Clinton and his internationally known and respected reality distortion field. That’s the official name. I like to refer to it as having your “swag on overload”. If you aren’t familiar with Clinton, it’s a trait that he shares with the likes of Steve Jobs.

Yes, you know what I’m talking about. You see a keynote presentation and suddenly you’re the biggest Apple fanboy this side of the Mississippi. I know. I’ve been there too.
