The Selfishness of Being Late

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 9:06 am By Phil Fox Rose

I talk frequently about the spirituality of being on time, and a lot of the feedback I get is about how eye-opening it is to realize you are bothering others. So let me focus a little more sharply on that aspect of the subject, on selfishness... Read more

Struggling with resolutions doesn’t mean you’re failing, just human

Last updated on: January 15, 2015 at 9:10 am By Phil Fox Rose

I haven't been doing my exercise, but does that mean I'm a bad person? Does it mean I've failed? No, it means I'm human. New Year's is the biggest swearing-off ritual around.

Do Not Start Fresh for the New Year

Last updated on: December 30, 2014 at 8:36 am By Phil Fox Rose

There is a New Year's lie that, just like hanging a fresh calendar on the wall, we too can start over. Make a resolution. Decide that this year will be different. Somehow reset our lives and start fresh. Us 2.0. Thinking that deciding to change and changing are the same thing. The truth is that our less positive habits, like lily pads floating on a pond, are rooted deep down in the muck... Read more
