by Leo Baubata In all of my many challenges and habit changes and book writing and learning, I’ve found one thing to be the most powerfully beneficial to all growth, learning and training. I call it the Rule of the Edge. Here’s the rule: practice at your edge most of the time. And this rule is what … Continue reading The Rule of the Edge
Shake Your Soul
by Eric Santillan We can live life generally in two ways. One way is to live life without asking any questions-- to just go through every day as if there is nothing more significant than what we do, how we are, where we are.
