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
You need to know this about failure to succeed
Failing isn’t just failure. It’s a sign that you are trying, attempting—alive. When you fail, it doesn’t mean you’re silly or a loser or even a failure. No. It says you tried doing something outside of your comfort zone. It means you’re an explorer, adventurer, believer. You’re courageous. You know that life isn’t just about…More
When creating feels impossible, you need to know this
Creating can feel like fighting nature: Impossible. Making that painting, writing that novel or blog post or, sometimes, even a sentence can make us break into a cold sweat. And it’s tempting to think, “Oh, I’ll just wait for inspiration to hit,” like a kid holding a kite as he waits for a strong wind…More
One of the best phrases to practice in life
“I’ll try.” Practicing that simple phrase will make your life rich. It will open your mind to new possibilities, friends, adventures, ideas. You will learn skills you never thought you could obtain, meet people you never thought you would know, accomplish feats you thought only possible for others. “I’ll try” is the enemy of the…More
This is the way to become greater
You have greatness inside of you. It’s there. But it does not speak in a loud, clear voice—but in a purr—slight sensations reverberating in your spirit. It beckons you to do the right thing, help that person in need, go above and beyond—love fiercely. Attune your heart to hear its call. For that is what…More
To succeed you need to know this
Failure is a part of the process of succeeding. You can’t have one without the other. So don’t despair when you don’t see the results you want, make a mistake on that project, or fail to find the right answer. Learn from it. Grow from it. Walk away stronger, smarter, better, and persist in pushing…More
