Sometimes life is hard and feels impossible. But that’s when you should stop thinking about your life and focus on today. Don’t try to tackle life, that’s too much to take on all at once. That’s how you get overwhelmed, depressed, worried. Instead, just attack what you need to do at this moment: the tasks,…More

You’re more than your social media
You’re not your social media account, the number of followers you have, or the likes your post received, or didn’t. You’re not. You’re more—much more. Don’t base your feelings about yourself on your social media stats. They don’t make you inherently better or lesser than anyone else. You’re a human—not just an avatar and collection…More
True happiness can’t be bought
The best things in life don’t come with a receipt. But all of our lives we’ve been told—no, sold—that if we buy this or that thing we will be sexy, better, satisfied, happy. But it’s not true. We’ve been duped. I remember going into stores and buying this or that article of clothing for my…More
For your enjoyment
Don’t rush. Take your time. Meander. Roam. Wander. If you see others scurrying to and fro, don’t follow them. Don’t imitate. Go at you own pace. Actually, slow down. Notice what’s around you, the beauty, the aromas, the sky. Breathe in deeply and soak the world into your body; absorb it. Smile. Venture inward and…More
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…More
This is true success
You don’t need a lot of money, have a corner office, be famous, live in a beautiful house, or possess a huge following to be successful. No—you just have to be loved. I get that you can’t eat love: It doesn’t put food on the table. But, I bet that most of us aren’t starving…More
You are rich
If you can’t enjoy what you have, you’ll never appreciate what you want. If you learn to feel rich in every moment, getting what you hope for will only make you richer. Gratitude gives you abundance even when you may have relatively little. And if you have nothing, you can still be grateful for life.…More
When unlearning is the greatest lesson
Unlearning is sometimes the best learning you can do. For often you limit the understanding of how high you can climb or how far you can go or how great you can become; but those thoughts are often untrue, wrong. Examine them. Dismantle those limiting notions, the dark stories from your childhood, those demeaning words…More
How to love your life
To love the life you have, you must live a life of love. It’s easy to buy into the idea that the more we possess like money, homes, stuff, the happier we will be, but that’s not true. Being rich doesn’t make you feel rich. There’s always someone richer to make you feel poorer. And…More
You are rich
Abundance is a mindset. If you look at your life and only see lack, then you will only want more; but, if you look and see riches and richness, you will be grateful and fulfilled. Happiness isn’t about having more; it’s about appreciating what you have.More
