In the Personal Development space there's a lot of talk about The Law of Attraction, which basically means that if you focus hard on something the Universe will bring it to you.

Now, there are a lot of people out there who are pretty woo-woo about that stuff and insist that it's a totally mystical force.

I'm not qualified to give you a good answer on whether or not that's true.

However, I was having a couple of beers with my old college roommate this weekend, who's a very smart and philosophical guy, and we got on this topic. We're in agreement that there IS something to the Law of Attraction, but it might not be quite what all the spiritual hippies think it is.

Give it a listen and you'll see how I mix the rational with the woo and the rational wins out!

Who Got To You?

I was listening to a great podcast from Joe Rogan and Henry Rollins, who was one of my heroes as a speaker during my college years. Rollins is a dynamic guy and at over 50 he's still doing amazing things with his life. He was talking about guys he sees that are way younger than him and have already given up on their dreams and have put themselves in a box.

He asked the question "who got to you?". That's a pretty profound question. Who got to you?

I have some things to say on it, and I have what I feel is an even more important follow-up question for you.
