Welcome to A Message From Magus G.Mack
Welcome to A Message From Magus G.Mack Hello, and welcome. Whether you found your way here through one of my books, a social media post, a conversation with a friend, or simple curiosity, I’m genuinely glad you’re here. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by one question: Why do people do what they do? That question has led me down countless paths over the years. I’ve spent much of my life observing people, studying behavior, questioning my own choices, and trying to...
What If FOMO Is About More Than Missing Out?
What If FOMO Is About More Than Missing Out? The fear that I might be missing out on the good in my own life. I’ve written about FOMO before. You know, the fear of missing out. It’s everywhere in advertising and marketing. Limited time. Only a few left. Don’t miss out. Sale ends tonight. The words change, but the fear underneath them stays pretty much the same: If you don’t act now, you might lose your chance. I explore this in Chapter 6 of Beyond Sin, “Greed: The Fear That Says ‘There Won’t...
September Awareness Challenge Mid-Month Check In: Are You Choosing—or Just Agreeing?
September's Challenge Mid-Month Check in. We’re almost halfway through September. At the beginning of the month, I invited you to try something simple. Make one intentional choice every day. Not thirty perfect decisions. Not a complete redesign of your life. Just one moment each day when you notice what’s happening, pause long enough to consider it, and intentionally decide what happens next. By now, you may have discovered something interesting. Choosing isn’t always as obvious as it sounds....
The Pattern You Didn’t Know You Were Practicing
The Pattern You Didn’t Know You Were Practicing Awareness isn’t only about noticing what you do. It’s about noticing what keeps teaching you to do it. Have you ever caught yourself doing something you promised yourself you weren’t going to do again? Maybe you reacted the same way. Avoided the same conversation. Put something off. Spent money you meant to save. Reached for the same comfort. Went back to the same person. Or made another decision that left you wondering: Why do I keep doing...
September Awareness Challenge: The Choice Is Yours
The Choice is Yours: September Challenge Welcome to September. For the past two months, we’ve been practicing something together. Nothing complicated. Nothing requiring hours of our day. Just small moments of awareness. In July, we practiced noticing. We paid attention to the thoughts, emotions, habits, fears, experiences, and outside influences quietly shaping our decisions. Then August gave us another challenge. Pause. Create a little space between what happens and what we do next. One...
August Awareness Challenge: Looking Back at the Pause
August Awareness Challenge Final August is coming to an end. At the beginning of the month, I invited you to practice something incredibly small. Pause. One breath. One moment. A little space between what happens… and what you choose to do next. Now, before we move into another month and another challenge, I’d like to spend a few minutes looking back. Not to see how well you performed. But to see what you noticed. Did You Catch Yourself? Think back over the past few weeks. Was there a moment...
Who Made Your Last Decision?
Who Made Your Last Decision? We like to believe we make our choices freely. But what if the choice began before we ever noticed it? Have you ever sent a text message and almost immediately wished you could reach through your phone and pull it back? I have. Something happens. Someone says something that irritates you. A message arrives that you don’t like. Maybe someone questions you. Maybe they criticize you. Maybe they simply use three words in exactly the wrong order at exactly the wrong...
Beyond Sin: What If We’ve Been Asking the Wrong Question?
What If We’ve Been Asking the Wrong Question? There are certain words that arrive carrying baggage. Sin is one of them. For some people, the word immediately brings religion to mind. For others.., Guilt. Judgment. Punishment. Hell. Maybe even fear. For much of my life, I understood sin through many of those same associations. There were things you were supposed to do. Things you weren’t supposed to do. Good choices. Bad choices. And somewhere in the middle of all of that was the question many...
August Awareness Challenge: The Power of the Pause
Welcome to August. Last month, we practiced something simple. We paid attention. Not perfectly. Just intentionally. We noticed the patterns quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and decisions. Some of us discovered fear speaking louder than we realized. Some noticed overthinking. Some recognized comparison. Some became more aware of how quickly they reacted before thinking. That was the purpose of July. Awareness. This month, the month of August, I’d like to invite you to take one more...
The July Experiment: Looking Back - A Message From Magus G.Mack
Looking Back Through July As July comes to a close, I’d like to invite you to do something before turning the page to a new month. Pause. Take a slow breath. Then spend a few moments looking back. Not at your accomplishments. Not at your unfinished goals. Not at the things you wish you had done differently. Instead… look at what you noticed. Because that was the purpose of this month’s challenge all along. Not perfection. Awareness. Did You Notice Anything? At the beginning of July, I...
The Choice Before the Choice
The Choice Before the Choice One of the greatest discoveries I’ve made over the past few years is this: We spend far too much time blaming ourselves… and far too little time understanding what influenced the decision in the first place. That’s where guilt often begins. We experience a consequence. e feel regret. Then we quietly conclude, “There must be something wrong with me.” But what if that’s the wrong question? In Beyond Sin, I explore thirteen patterns that quietly shape our lives. The...
