Send me a text Spiderman's story, personality type, and powers are full of lessons for everyone: whether you're a kid, a teen, or an adult, you can learn a lot from how he deals with the challenges in his life. Have you ever had a feeling about something before it even happened? Good or bad. Maybe you felt like you were going to get a phone call from someone-and then you did.

Send me a text Do you know what the worst thing is about being afraid of failure? It's not that you might fail. It's not even that people might laugh at you. The worst thing about being afraid to fail is that, in trying to avoid failing, you stop growing. Because when you're afraid to try something new, and you're afraid to step outside your comfort zone, then you're never going to adapt to the world around you. And when you stop adapting and growing, then everything else stops too. You stop mov...

Send me a text Don't let the trolls win. Trolls will always be there. They intentionally try to break the game. Don't let them dissuade you from doing the stuff they're afraid of putting effort towards. But you know what? That doesn't mean we should let them win. It doesn't mean we should sit back and let them distract us from the things we want to do and the goals we want to achieve. But don't let that stop you from being you and doing what you love. The people who are afraid of putting in the ...

Send me a text I've done a few videos on this, and it still fascinates me and so I decided to go deeper in the Hero's Journey, explained with personality type as the base. If you don't know your Myers-Briggs (MBTI) type and the \"cognitive function stack\", this video will be a bit heavy for you. Please learn that first as it's used in this video. This model I use is not Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, but rather Dan Harmon's Story Circle. Though it's really just a simplified version of the sa...

And hey, if it gets good feedback, maybe I'll do more ;) You may want to put on some backgroun...

Send me a text TVtropes.org has a great source of \"RPG elements\" that I decided to convert into a way to gamify self-development - personal development for gamers ;).
