It’s difficult being human.

There’s no Ph.D in being a human yet everyone is trying to reach mastery.

How Do I become better at this whole life thing?

Since childhood I’ve longed to figure out how to do life better. I was positive I would figure it out by now. Welcome to Self-Help, the industry that tells you can become better at life if you work at it every single day, but you will never reach your ultimate best self because you can always be better.

Better is the goal right? Because the present is not nearly as good as it can be. And that’s where things start to crumble. Not accepting the present reality for all it is, the good and the ugly, will always bread unfulfillment. I’ve never been content with the ugly, the uncomfortable. The less than favorable aspects of life need to be eliminated in order for me to be at peace. So here I am 34 and not content with everything, so I’m not content with anything.

After all these years of aspiring and acquiring, I’m wonder if self help can be summed up like this:

Being human is hard and it’s more pleasurable the more you are kind, patient and gentle with yourself.

Since 2015, I’ve spent years finding ways to reduce the discontent with maintaining a home, while increasing the beauty and safety it provides. I design closets, pantries and offices to enhance well-being using organizing solutions and LEED inspired techniques. Get a quote on how to redesign your home for better mental and physical health.
