start from the bottom and read up. friends now know what im listening to as each new song plays. thanks spotify/facebook
looking out to the moon on a somewhat chilly night thinking about life. possibilities are endless
uhhh.. yes. wannabe
sorry i’ve been preoccupied with figuring shit out
i feel bad. i’ve sort of ignored jonathaneppers.com (me) for the last few months. i guess you could say this is partly a reflection of all the things going on in my life.
i’m one of those people that has a hard time focusing on any one thing for to long. it’s always been something i’ve struggled with because some things in my life, especially the things i care about the most, really do take a lot of focus and attention. i’ve not always done a great job at this. you name it: friends, check. relationships, check. job, check. life, eh.. check?
i’m 29 and by all means, my late teens and throughout my twenties have been a whirlwind in itself. but i guess that sort of happens to everyone, right? like we go through our twenties and by the time we hit thirty, we’re supposed to be more serious, mature and, eh.. focused? yea, focused.
if there’s one thing i would say is noticeably more important in my life, it would most definitely be my family. i’m lucky. i come from a really great family - married parents, four brothers and lots of grandparents, aunts/uncles and cousins. they support all my mistakes (and accomplishments) and they just love me. as someone who played a lot of sports growing up, it’s the best team i’ve ever been part of.
so what does all this mean?
for me, jonathaneppers.com is just a place i can write. it’s like my own diary, domain and all. only difference is this one’s public. anyone who comes here can listen to what i’m thinking at the very moment i posted it.
i’m going to start spending much more time writing on here. it’s really about me, not you (and i mean that in the most humble of ways).
they say writing helps you focus because it takes focus. so i’m starting there.
next up for me, how i see myself in the world. stay tuned.
success! this is huge!
los angeles at night. time lapsed. so cool.
when someone says it’s a “win/win” it’s usually not
hahaha. brilliant rebrand. thanks
focusing is about saying no. and when you say no, you piss people off. but the result is truly great products.
take peyton manning and add a talented illustrator and you get a cool ass logo
i planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway.
and more, much more than this. i did it my way
alain de botton’s TED talk on success: a kinder, gentler philosophy of success
anyone who tells you you can have “work/life” balance is not being honest. you can’t be successful at everything. you have to choose what you want to be successful at and acknowledge what you are willing to give up.
the pressure’s we as well as society puts on ourselves to be successful in life is overwhelming.
newsweek called grand rapids, michigan a “dying city.” this was there response. so f’kn cool #midwest
out of the locker room. gay athletes.
that’s why a current, major pro athlete needs to come out of the closet. and it will probably happen really soon. a few years ago, this would have been unthinkable.
hire fast, fire fast
Trust me: if you know, you know. If you know, do it now. Things don’t get better. Your “Blink” instincts are right.
