The best way to improve ourselves is to improve the way we think. I recently read a great book about culture called What You Do Is Who You Are (affiliate).

Not thought, philosophies, ideas, values, but cold hard … Continue reading This is one of the best ways to think
This is the one person we often forget to love
Speak gently and lovingly to yourself today. No matter what you did or didn't do, don't yell at yourself. Say something encouraging, tell yourself that it will be ok. That mistake you made isn't you. You aren't what you do. You're more than that. You're a child of God, a human being. You're who you are. Love … Continue reading This is the one person we often forget to love

I want to see you happy
Your face aglow with a radiance blazing from within, rich with joy and satisfaction, is what I wish to see.

The worst thing that happens to you often can lead to the best results
Sometimes the worst things that happen to us are the best opportunities. They are the gateways to greatness. Giving up is always an option. Or, you can fight and find a way through the difficulty. The former will lead to the status quo or worse. The latter can irrevocably change your life for the better. … Continue reading The worst thing that happens to you often can lead to the best results
You are more valuable than you know
You are not just enough; you are more than enough. Don’t let your inner critic run rampant and criticize all that you do and don’t do.

You are not just your accomplishments, the number of friends you or likes … Continue reading You are more valuable than you know
Life is better when you think like this
The path of life is rarely clear ahead. The secret is to enjoy the walk. Knowing what is ahead is impossible. Yet we pine and yearn to know what will happen to this or that in our lives. We worry, stress, and strain. Why do that for something we cannot have? The future, no matter … Continue reading Life is better when you think like this
This is the greatness you can choose
Greatness is a choice. Sometimes getting out of bed is like slaying a mythical monster. Other times it could be starting a business. But no matter what fears you face, or what fear looks like for you, facing them whatever they are is choosing to be great. Choose to defy them and live greatly. You can be … Continue reading This is the greatness you can choose
Feel behind in life? You needn’t
You’re not behind. You’re right where you need to be. Just because so and so got that amazing title in their 20’s, or grew their business, published their book, got married, had kids, and did their thing before you did, that doesn’t mean you’re behind. You’re on your own track. You have your own story. Look … Continue reading Feel behind in life? You needn’t
