This Thing is Everything – New Life Resolutions Pt 8

At the start of every year, I publish a post in the New Life Resolutions series… Its one of the most important posts of any year. I have done this for the past 7 years and the idea behind the series was born out of a response to (and as an alternative for) New Year Resolutions.

I DON’T Wish You a Happy New Year: New LIFE Resolutions Pt. 7

Because happiness is not enough…
Because you can be confused and happy.

No. I don’t wish you a Happy New Year. What I REALLY wish you…is a year of MEANINGFUL PROGRESS. PROGRESS. PROGRESS. A “kick butt-destiny changing-dream building-kick doors open” year.

Now before you get all juiced up and fired up…I need to bring you down from cloud 9 and tell you the truth:

Socio-relational Addictions You Might Not Know You Have (and How They’re Messing with Your Life)

Sure there are the usual suspects when we talk about addiction. You know them well. Alcohol, Drugs, Pornography and all that.
I need to tell you though, that there are some socio-relational addictions (addictions that have to do with our social life and our relationships) that I perceive many people are dealing with, without even knowing the issue exists.
