Welcome to Happy Heading Nowhere

My name is Steve, and those who know me know I love to talk. But behind that is the way I process information. I am a thinking thinker who thinks.

I consider myself a type of philosopher or teacher. Not the "college professor" kind or "out of touch with reality" type - but just a regular human trying to navigate life, work, relationships and everything in between while maintaining my mental strength and emotional maturity.

I like to think of personal philosophy as a hidden "superpower." By day, I am a mild-mannered IT Executive trying to provide technical solutions for my company. But in the early morning and late night hours, I read, think, and write about my own life experiences through the lens of several various world views. While I am grateful and have enjoyed my day job in IT, my life's work will be discovered here.

Why should you listen to me?

You shouldn't. I mean, not necessarily. I'm not a professional therapist or counselor by any means, so nothing you find here is meant to be taken as professional, legal, financial, or spiritual advice. It's best if you just consider me a friend or acquaintance that you get together and have coffee with once a week (or cocktails, if you prefer). We'll have a good conversation and some laughs, and once in a while, I might say something that makes you think.

I believe that every person should develop a personal philosophy for living that gives them a strong foundation for facing whatever comes their way. Mine is a curated mixture of Stoic philosophy, Buddhism, Christianity, psychology, and sociology, with some good old-fashioned common sense sprinkled in for good measure.

What's up with the name?

The name of the site originated from something I wrote in my journal years ago that summed up how I felt after meeting my wife and getting, what seemed to me, a second lease on life. Now, I break it down like this:

Happy - means the peaceful contentment I want for myself and others.

Heading - means my direction is solid, steady and staying the course.

Nowhere - means an attitude of mindfulness, openness and wonder to any situation.

Thanks for taking the time to visit and I hope you find something meaningful along the way. Even if there's only one thought or idea that catches your interest, that makes it worth the time and effort.
