It only takes a second to transform your life. Most of us mindlessly, aimlessly run through life while our heads are obsessing over the past or worrying about the future. But if we actually take stock of what's happening right now. In front of our eyes. In our hands....
I didn't think I was the type to care for milestones… Until a couple of months ago. We're sitting in a team meeting at work, talking about personal and business wins for the week. My personal win? Cara and I just passed 18 years of being together! But the part that...
People are complaining about how the algorithm is creating problems. How it's accelerating depression. How it's dividing people. How it's propelling negativity, and loneliness. I have some bad news. It's actually you. The algorithm isn't content. It's a reflection on...
A sound is simply a movement of energy in the world - just a happening. When we label something a sound, it has no other connotation. However, when we label something a noise, it's a sound that we’ve decided is undesirable. It's amazing how we do this with nearly...
What is one of the most common past-times of the last 20 years? Checking social media. Or consuming media in general. How much? Many hours a day. What do we so often come across in the media? Tragedy, conflict, and danger. When we’re faced with this type of content...
A realization gave me the chills today. It's not a change in method. It's not even a change in tactic. It's a change in mindset that will have you relaxing into success, instead of pushing with all of your effort and torturing yourself. But first, let's add some...
Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. It takes a special kind of person to endure the torture along with the excitement. If you’re not the type of person to take on a problem, if you’re not a visionary, or it is just too much of a risk for you - there is NO shame in...
I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Most people's faces scrunch and their mouths turn sour when money is brought up. Just the thought of it makes people fearful, anxious, shameful, jealous, and so much more. People have their own history with money that makes...
I had just finished some yoga poses, and was relaxing with my legs folded under me on the grass. I looked up, and this older gentleman came over and sat next to me. He broke the ice by talking about how he can’t sit like that anymore, too much pain in his knees. His...
Perhaps this isn't even a question for you, and I hope that's the case. I hope you're already working on yourself. Learning, self-reflecting, reading, improving. But if you're not, I don't think you're going to make the change you seek to make, at least if your vision...
If you're not being chased by a tiger, or something equally as threatening, you get to choose what motivates you. And there are two options. You can either be motivated by something positive, the movement towards a vision or improved state, or by the movement away...
The big question came to me the other day when driving in the car. I began to feel my blood pumping a little bit harder. I was getting fidgety… and giddy even. I had listened to something so inspirational that I wanted to stop my car on the side of the road, and start...
Whether some of us like it or not(I certainly do), marketing and making content is a very creative activity. The problem solving, continuously new information, and endless possibilities are why I get excited about it. However, it can wear you so thin your slip on...
When it comes to distractions our devices and computers are often the culprit. Turn them back into a tool for discovery and learning. It's hard not to get distracted from your work with all the dings, bleeps, blurps, and notifications of something begging for your...
Why are you unhappy? Why are you happy? This is what psychologists have been trying to figure out for years, and it boils down to some basics. Emotions are based on expectations. If you are betrayed by a friend, you feel angry because you expect them to treat you with...
Today I was reading about the 'New Rich', which is basically the idea that time and freedom is worth just a much or more than actual money. It starts with looking at the difference between absolute and relative income. Absolute income would be taking a view that...
Today I realized the importance of starting something instead of trying to perfect it in your head first. Ive heard this countless times, but haven't thought about how much I've resisted it. Every time I come up with an idea for starting a blog my head runs in circles...
