About

Playing To Lose is a motivational self-help blog run by freelance writer Tom Mendiola Johnson.  Which is me, by the way.

I’m a professional copywriter and feature article writer from the beautiful island of Guam.  I’m also a former English teacher, a self-help/psychology geek, a life-long gamer, a parkour practitioner, and a fitness enthusiast.  I’m not a very touchy-feely New Age kinda guy, but I do put a lot of stock in the power of positive thinking.  If I’ve learned anything from life, it’s that there’s nothing beyond the scope of the human mind.
