Who is this guy Mike Susinski? That is only a rel­e­vant ques­tion if you tend to ques­tion sources of infor­ma­tion rather than eval­u­at­ing the con­tent. I will save you a lot of effort by stat­ing right now that, if you are look­ing for some­one to believe in, this is not the place for you.

There are no answers here, only ques­tions. I will post plen­ty of sug­ges­tions, and their use­ful­ness will be deter­mined by how much you are will­ing to chal­lenge them. So any “cre­den­tials” I might list are worth­less. My only claim to author­i­ty is like that of a recent (2016) Farmers Insurance com­mer­cial tagline: I know a thing or two because I’ve seen a thing or two.

I shame­less­ly rip off oth­er peo­ple’s ideas and posi­tions and steal self help quo­ta­tions from wher­ev­er I find them. Some of these sources are world renowned and his­tor­i­cal­ly revered. Others may be from some yahoo on Facebook who turns a clever phrase.

Caveat lec­tor: All of this will be fil­tered through an ENFP per­son­al­i­ty. That means that I often see what I think is a bet­ter way, and because of dif­fer­ences in style, val­ues, and points of view among indi­vid­u­als, that improve­ment may only work for me. If the warp dri­ve engine won’t start, it’s not my fault. Your mileage may vary. Insert your favorite dis­claimer cliché here.

All of my pre­tense of dis­pens­ing wis­dom is couched in a para­dox­i­cal enig­ma. I real­ly believe that if I am fol­low­ing a path, it is not my path. The hero makes his or her own way through the for­est. I only pro­vide tools, which may or not be of any use to you, and I would be remiss in my own jour­ney if I did not make the effort to offer them.

So believe the dwarf or not. But, in the words of Yogi Berra, “If you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
