- [Are You Living As A NPC?](https://ericrecker.com/are-you-living-as-a-npc/) - You get into a routine. A rut. A very predictable existence. And that is just what it becomes. An existence. Not a life. You can't wait for the weekend.
- [Real vs. False- The Battle Royale](https://ericrecker.com/real-vs-false-the-battle-royale/) - The false sense of urgency is the low-grade angst that we carry around. It is the voice inside us that says there is always more to do.
