Hi there. I'm Joshua Harbert. Welcome to my old blog. I'm not writing here actively these days. But here are some of my favorite posts from the archives:
Or for my current writing, head over to Cave of Monsters.
I’m sitting on the floor. My DreamBox is packed. And I’m decorating the lid.
»I’m moments away from hitting publish on a post. It’s vulnerable. It’s raw. It makes me feel exposed… like I’ve got nowhere to hide.
»If I had to capture my dominant emotion from my experience at Camp GLP in one word it would be loneliness. And if I could add a second word, it would be sadness.
»For some reason this is way harder for me than it should be.
»I sit silently on my meditation cushion. A pleasant breeze drifts through the window. The sun casts a soft, orange light upon the eastern sky. All is still.
»You’re playing with your daughter, and she’s chasing you around the apartment. Her shrieks of laughter and delight fill the room.
»Up until last February, I posted here every single week. No questions. No excuses.
»I’m a believer in structure. Many of the core habits I rely on would fall to pieces were it not for the regular ritual. I would never have become a black belt had I not trained every week. I never would have become a writer had I not written everyday. The list goes on and on.
»I don’t know all that much about her really. We never talked long.
»I’ve been working a lot harder in the last few months as I build up my new copywriting practice.
»I planned my last morning in Cabo to be a time of rest and relaxation. My flight wasn’t till late in the afternoon, and I didn’t need to leave the hotel until around noon. That gave me the whole morning to do whatever I wanted.
»I look back at the landscape of the year gone by. Periods of growth tower like mountains. New relationships bubble up and grow like streams becoming rivers. Through it all are grand experiences of joy, fun, or excitement – billowing like great big clouds. Last year was quite a year. I have much to be thankful for.
»They don’t say, “You’re not supposed to do that.” But they look at you as if you were a puppy who just dug a hole in the mud.
»We couldn’t have coordinated the timing of our mission better if we had tried. It’s 2:34am and the three of us are on the move.
»I try hard to get a good night of sleep each night. It provides me with the energy I need to live, connect, and work.
