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. May you be filled with a flourishing—not from your possessions, fulfilled with more than just things, wealth, or fame—that comes from a secret knowledge, a mysterious knowing—Love. Being loved faithfully, unwaveringly, deeply is richness that…More

Thinking like this is worth your time

Thinking you’re unworthy isn’t worth your time. Instead, read books that teach you truths about the world, about others, about you. Do things that you believe in and contribute to the greater good. Pray and meditate on the world beyond this one. And remember, if your thinking isn’t worth your time, it’s a waste of…More

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.…More

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. Don’t always listen to the voices around you saying how you did this or that poorly. You are not just your accomplishments, the number of friends you or likes…More

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…More

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…More

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…More

You can make today a great day

Every day presents an opportunity to rise to the occasion. Who you become, what you will do, what you will say “no” to, are all before you. They are a choice. You can choose. Choose well. And rise.More

You’re worthier than you know

“You don’t belong here,” or “These people are better than you,” are words that can creep into our minds. But they shouldn’t. There are times in our lives and careers when we feel like imposters, sneaking into a room full of “worthier” people than ourselves, wondering how we got here. But you’re not an imposter!…More

Accomplish more by thinking like this

“You need to be more ‘realistic’” is a phrase that we hear. We say it to ourselves. But that is shaping our mindset, and it’s stifling you. Mediocrity is borne on such words. That’s how the status quo is preserved, and growth is hindered. You won’t push beyond your limits by thinking realistically. Dreams are…More
