Identity - The True Power of Change

"Go Big or Go Home" Does NOT Work The band American Authors in 2015 released "Go Big or Go Home" (GBGH) in their "What We Live For" album. The song itself is quite catchy and the tune is very upbeat. The general public seems to have taken the title of this song and applied it to nearly all our life events where if no big gestures are made, then one's actions are not worth it. If one pays closer attention to the lyrics, the song itself seems quite depressing where the lead in the song appears to be quite desperate. I personally believe that the overly quoted and applied phrase of "Go big or go home" rarely works. If a man wants to get a bigger chest, then benchpress seems to be quite effective to stimulate the mid-chest muscles. If GBGH works, then he should strive for a benchpress of 200 lbs with 100 repetitions since that is BIG for most people. However, how many people can go that big when one starts on the journey of getting a bigger chest

  The Man by the Mausoleum Cedar Hill Cemetery is about one and a half miles away from where I live. From time to time, when the weather permits, I hike there. Famous individuals such as John Pierpont Morgan Sr. (JP Morgan, financier) and Samuel Colt (inventor of the Colt revolver) call Cedar Hill Cemetery their final resting spots. The cemetery sits on a massive 270 acres of small rolling hills and running brooks. The mature trees and beautifully maintained landscaping adorn throughout the entire cemetery. I usually enter the cemetery through the main entrance, and the stone chapels on both sides of the gates exhibit European styled old cathedrals that seem to witness the passing of time. The magnificence of these stone chapels appear to signify how insignificant humans are in the tide of time. I especially enjoy my hike during Spring and Fall seasons as the entire cemetery puts on different dresses of splendid colors. The flower scents permeate the air during the blooming springtime

  What Moon the Humpback Whale Taught Me on Her Last Journey from Northern British Columbia to Maui Moon a female humpback whale that has been tracked by scientists for years was discovered near northern British Columbia (BC) in Canada with a broken back on September 7, 2022. Nearly three months later on December 1, 2022, Moon was spotted on whales' breeding ground near Maui, Hawaii, USA. Scientists believed that Moon's broken back was caused by being struck by a large vessel. The broken back rendered Moon's tail completely immobile and she could only swim with her pectoral fins. The approximately 3,000 miles of journey for whales from the BC feeding ground to the Maui breeding ground usually takes a healthy female whale about 36 days to complete took Moon more about three months. Not only did Moon have to endure the paralyzing pains from the broken back and completely relied on the strength of her pectoral fins and sheer will of her desire to complete this final journey ba
