Why You Always Want Open Space, Not Dead Positions
Open space offers options.
It invites movement.
It invites growth.
It prompts opportunity.
Dead positions trap you.
They limit your thinking and your actions.
The door to creativity in life and business slowly closes.
When you open your space, you allow the unexpected to come in.
Being open is not about avoiding hard decisions.
It’s about staying flexible.
Dead positions make you reactive.
Open space lets you be proactive.
Freedom is found in holding the space for what could be.
“The moment you lock yourself into a position, you’ve locked out possibilities.” – Mike Brewer

The Ego Trap: Why Being Right Isn’t About Winning Arguments
The need to always be right is, well, offputting.
It creates a wall between you and other people.
It creates a wall between you and learning.
It creates a wall between you and personal growth.
Admitting you don’t know something is a superpower.
Humility is inviting.
When you let go of the need to be correct, you will find it much easier to get to the truth.
“Truth thrives in the space where ego steps aside.” – Mike Brewer

Failure is the Back Door to Success
So what? Every time you experience failure, you learn faster, refine your strategy, and get closer to what works.
Now what?
Don’t fear failure.
Invite it in.
Adjust quickly, and let it open the door to opportunities others won’t see.

Despair is the Ego’s Best Drug
Despair gives us an excuse to obsess over ourselves.
Misery lets us indulge in emotional self-gratification.
It’s easy to focus on our pain instead of solving it.
But there’s no future in staying stuck.
So what now?
Redirect your energy to something that matters.
Turn that obsessive self-focus outward—use it to fuel action and growth.
The difference between wallowing and winning is where you aim your attention.
“Self-pity feels good until you realize it never gets you anywhere.” – Mike Brewer

Unhappiness can feel like a safe space to indulge in self-obsession.
It’s easier to dwell on your pain than to engage with the world. Thus Unhappiness.
But the price? You miss the richness that exists outside your inner monologue.
Escaping the cycle requires shifting attention from yourself to something more significant than self.
Happiness isn’t about plastering a smile—it’s about showing up for life beyond your thoughts.
“Unhappiness is attention turned inward. Growth happens when you start looking out.” – Mike Brewer
