New Game+

I said I wanted to give some kind of insight or direction to whoever might find value in it. So I thought we'd start of with the hard part...Starting. Whether it's personal adjustment or some major life altering path, making any kind of shift can be hard. Changing habits and patterns is one if the hardest things for most people to do. Our brains are hard wired to conserve energy and do what is comfortable and familiar. So even when we want to make a change, we are met with resistance. And that's not counting anyone or anything else that gets in our way. One of the first things I think everyone should know and hold on to is the idea that we can only control ourselves. No one and nothing else is in our hands. We can have an influence or make some kind of impact. But ultimately the final outcome lies in someone else' choices, or the world moving along as it does. Thankfully this is a double edged sword. Because this also means everything you do, every choice you make is ab...

Before we get started on this trip together, I think it's appropriate to introduce myself. My name is Jeremy, but everyone just calls me J. I actually hear my name so rarely that it feels foreign. I've recently taken a rather drastic turn in my life, so everything is changing pretty fast. That's part of what I want to talk about here. Dealing with those moments and choices in our lives that have a profound effect on us. Navigating the unexpected has taken a massive toll on my progress in life. Hopefully I can give some insight or support to anyone else dealing with a similar flux in their life.     Despite all the changes, I think it's still important to hold on to the things we enjoy. Those are the bits that help us through the roughest parts. For me that's gaming and taking care of animals. The gaming influences much of many of my viewpoints on life and gives reference to understand how things connect in life. Thus the name of this blog. However, my real passion i...

Here we are and welcome to a new start. That's what New Game+ is all about: starting up and starting over when things change around us. To start this all off, we're going to talk about blogs; this blog and some others, as we consider which way we are going. This isn't my first blog. I've had several over the years, though not recently. I don't personally love the format. I find it difficult to maintain the content schedule, but we're gonna give it a good run. That being said, I do think they are a great format for gathering and reporting information. Especially if you consider how many web pages that are in a blog format that you might not have thought of. Billboard , Entrepreneur , and Harvard Business Review are a few that come to mind. So, let's take a look at a couple blogs to see what works for us and what doesn't:  Hollywoodlife is a fairly popular blog that talks a lot about celebrity lives and gossip, and a little bit of politics. It's def...
