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…More

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.…More

The power of starting

With every second that passes, you are one moment away from changing your life. Really. That project you always wanted to do, the career path you always wanted to pursue, growing more fit, exercising your faith, becoming a better person are all before you, right now, this instant. All you have to do is this:…More

One of the smartest things you can do

Getting smarter isn’t about knowing everything, it’s about admitting what you don’t know. “I don’t know,” is such a simple phrase, but many of us have difficulty saying it to ourselves let alone to others. It makes us feel weak, vulnerable, stupid. But you’re not. It’s the furthest thing from the truth. Saying “I don’t…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

Live your life

Too many of us live as if we were dead, but we need to live while we’re alive. This day is what you have. It’s a gift. You’re blessed. Take it and do the things you dream of, start it, try, begin. Don’t live in fear. Live out of faith. You’re alive, so stop spending…More

The new you starts here

New doesn’t mean throwing out the old. Those mistakes, that failure are things you’d like to forget—but don’t. Becoming new means taking the old and learning from it, growing through it. Just as the flower dies in winter and feeds the seed in spring, your past helps your future bloom. Without the old, you cannot…More

You need to know that you’re more than just you

“Just” is a word we should use sparingly with ourselves. “I’m just a mom,” or “I’m just an employee,” or “I’m just a woman,” or “I’m just a child.” “Just” limits you. It strips away the potential you have, what you can reach. You aren’t just you. You are becoming, always. You are changing, growing,…More
