What is ControlShiftLife?
A journey towards the never-ending goal of knowing yourself and discovering new areas of growth. On the web level, it is a blog, community, and forum to discuss self-improvement, and strategies for mastering the art and science of success.
Why did I start ControlShiftLife?
The existing self-help sites and authors didn’t do it for me. Some of the articles seemed to be geared towards page views, telling people what they wanted to hear. Some of the authors seem to oversimplify complex topics. I felt a real need for deeper exploration and discussion about self-growth. The truth can be harsh but sometimes it must be told and accepted. ControlShiftLife explores sustainable self-help principles that one can adopt for the rest of his/her life.
The ControlShiftLife Philosophy
ControlShiftLife is about finding your core, finding your voice, discovering your values and building inner strength brick by brick. ControlShiftLife is about securing your foundation before painting your house. Before you can learn to run, you must first have the strength to stand.
ControlShiftLife takes a different approach than the “lifehack” approach. In a way, ControlShiftLife’s philosophy is the fundamental opposite: we don’t believe life can or should be “hacked”.
Many people have deeper issues than just being unable to perfect techniques for success. Execution is certainly a learned skill but motivation is more philosophical and spiritual. Before you perfect a skill or perform at your peak you must have the health and the mindset first.
Why ControlShiftLife and not others?
There are many different philosophies and “techniques” of self-growth, and the ControlShiftLife certainly doesn’t have all the answers for everyone. I invite everyone to stay a while, read, and contribute if you feel the urge. You may not find all the answers you are looking for here, but hopefully what you read will broaden your understanding of yourself and the world around you.
ControlShiftLife seeks to add to your life, ultimately its up to you what you decide to do with the insights found here. Here we recognize that while there are many different roads to success, each method still requires hard work, determination, and sacrifice. Anyone that tells you different is just telling you what you want to hear, not what you need to hear.
About Me
Just another imperfect human being in this world. A little cynical, a little rough around the edges, sometimes weak and sometimes strong, and always striving to be more real. I’m passionate about self-growth and understanding and this is my way of giving to the world. I have no doubt that I will receive back one-thousand fold any insight I share here. For that, I thank you.
