Good Is The Enemy of Great
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI’ve heard these words quoted from numerous people and I’m sure you have, too. At most times, I shrugged those words off without much thought. A few times, I even found the words offensive because, although I see myself as doing a lot of “good” things in life, I rarely if ever saw myself as…

Let Your Light Shine Through
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI read an article recently written by a psychiatrist specializing in helping women with acceptance of their bodies. She unexpectedly decided to try plastic surgery to “refresh” her body after having three kids. She said the decision came out of no where and it was almost as if a wave (i.e., social media and advertising)…

How do we make sure we don’t miss out, yet avoid pushing ourselves over a cliff? How do we enjoy and remain a part of Christmas? That’s what we…

Myasthenia Gravis – Through the Eyes of Love – Final Thoughts

Some believe that Consciousness is what makes us closer to God and I’m a firm believer in that philosophy. When we learn to appreciate, we can’t…

Myasthenia Gravis – Through the Eyes of Love Part V
Greg Olsen
in ThoughtsI wanted to spend a little more time on Self-Love, because it can be so easily misconstrued. Self-Love actually comes from three different parts of our minds.
