Like a child, enjoy your this moment, all of the moments, see the world with wonder, glee, delight. Playfully move through the world. Choose to dance. Allow the music on the radio, in your mind, to … Continue reading You can choose
Love your life
Life’s simplest joys are best: a hug from a loved one, a kind word, a smile, the aroma of coffee right as you take the first sip, friends sharing stories and laughter, children growing, life awakening, a new day. That’s not seen simply. It takes work. See, we’re taught at a very young age that … Continue reading Love your life

That dream you’ve wanted to realize, the book … Continue reading One of the greatest blessings we often overlook
Waiting well will transform your life
Waiting feels terrible. But when we wait well, magic happens. Growing, improving, changing doesn’t happen quickly. We know that. But for some reason, we still get impatient and disappointed when it doesn’t happen when we want it to, which often means yesterday. And we know that we must wait. But what we often fail to … Continue reading Waiting well will transform your life
You are more than worthy
You are worth infinitely more than you know. The stars, jewels, and gold cannot compare. You have the face of God. You see, the world has duped you into believing that you are your salary or your “earning potential” or your net worth. But that is not your real value. You’re worthy of dignity, respect, … Continue reading You are more than worthy
The best thing about losing
Losing doesn’t just mean you’ve lost. For, when you lose, you gain. Whenever a friend leaves, you move away, get fired, close a business, it’s awful. We hate it. We should, because losing sucks. No one wants to have something taken from them. But what I’ve noticed is no matter what (or who) was taken … Continue reading The best thing about losing
Create better work by doing this
Sometimes doing nothing is the best way to create something great: The creative process isn't just about work; it’s about rest. Your mind needs time to recuperate, recover, be restored. It does that through sleep and daydreaming—doing nothing. That means staring off into space, looking out the window, letting your mind wander, dozing off to … Continue reading Create better work by doing this
This mindset helps you live better
Life isn’t about perfection; it’s a practice. Perfectionism makes you feel stuck, scared to fail— stay imperfect. And you probably hate that. You want to change, but don’t know how to do it. Well, stop trying to be perfect and start practicing. What is practice? It’s doing something regularly to continue to grow and learn. … Continue reading This mindset helps you live better
How you can be a good friend when life sucks
Being a good friend isn’t easy, but it’s simple: Just show up. Last week I went to a funeral for my good friend’s dad. And I’ll be honest there was a part of me that wanted to run, shy away, draw back. I’m an introvert (maybe you can relate). Then, there are no guidelines, clear … Continue reading How you can be a good friend when life sucks
Reflections from a funeral
Funerals aren’t just about death; they're also about life. And this past week, while at my friend’s dad’s funeral, I could see that he lived richly, and he knew it. I don’t mean that he drove a Maserati, had a big house, or had some huge title. He didn’t. He was normal, just a regular … Continue reading Reflections from a funeral
