Move in the direction of your fears. Be amazed at who you grow to be.


What's this all about? (And can someone please explain the obsession with balls?)

First, thank you for stopping by for a visit. I'm really glad you're here.

A Brave Life (ABL) is home for people who want to grow their balls. It's about pushing through the fear and discomfort of making wise, disciplined, and honorable choices in life.

On Mondays and Thursdays I post articles about how to grow your balls at home, at work, and in the world. All my writing is tied together by the 3 B's:

Balance: Making time for all of the important people and activities in your life, and eliminating all of the stuff that makes you miserable. There's also internal balance, which involves improving the “problem areas” of your personality that only your best friends get to tease you about.

Beauty: Having gratitude, enjoying simple pleasures, contributing something meaningful to the world, and feeling complete despite life's curve balls. (Hey Mom, look – I just used the word “balls” without referring to genitalia! Aren't you proud?)

Balls: (Sorry, Mom -- we're already back to genitalia again.) This website is not about eliminating fear. It's about making choices that are right for you despite the fear. It is fear that stops us from pursuing our loftiest goals. It blocks us from being grown-ups on an emotional level. And it keeps us distracted from the beauty that's already around us.
