Sometimes people are overly social because it helps them evade something negative they experience when they are alone.

Discarding immediate rewards in order to experience some bigger, future gain is still a hard task for many modern humans.

Recognizing grace provides a reprieve from difficult circumstances. It gives us the space we need to rest and recover.

We cannot control every situation, but we should always remember that we can control how we respond.

Nature reminds us that, despite our tendency to see negativity everywhere we look, happiness often lies within our reach.

Humans are great at taking something remarkably simple and twisting it into something unremarkably complicated.

Nature teaches me to focus on the unseen as I ponder what progress at work looks like.

Our modern, and often sedentary, lifestyles effectively pull us into a virtual world, away from the present moment, leaving us feeling anxious.

While modern life brings us many necessities, adding a touch of nature to our current environment can provide the stimulation you need to improve your daily life experience.

I have a daily ritual I conduct upon waking. Once I am vertical and before anything else, I walk to the bedroom window, slide one of the blind slats up, and peek outside.

One thing that strikes me about the flora and fauna I see is their extraordinary self-reliance.

Thoreau's Walden is an escape from busyness, noise, and ignorance. It is a return to what is natural and authentic.
