Life has its challenges, forks in the road, minors dilemmas, and big decisions. And when we feel stuck and don't know what to do next we seek advice from friends and family, social media even. It's what we do. We'll get on the phone and call our girlfriend. We ask her opinion. Everything from which [...]
Your ability to imagine something that doesn’t yet exist and then make a decision to turn that into a reality is one of your greatest superpowers. Every invention, success, and accomplishment started first with an idea and then the decision to make it happen. But don’t live your entire life in your head! I know [...]
Sometimes things happen (usually a cluster of things) that just make you feel like your whole world is falling apart. It can feel so heavy and so unsolvable. It can make you feel alone and defeated. Whenever I find myself there I remind myself: The sky is never actually grey, only the clouds are. Once [...]
I'm always interested in learning how each person I meet views the world in a unique way. One person views the world as a scary place that is filled with disasters and suffering and scarcity.

Every single triumph, success, invention, and accomplishment started first as a single thought, a decision. Today make the decision to go all in. Don’t just dip your toes in and say, ‘I’ll see if it works’ or ‘I’ll try’. Declare that it will work. Then watch how everything unfolds in your favor. This is why [...]
Get clear on who you are. Love yourself, appreciate yourself, and most of all accept yourself. You must see the greatness that lives in you. Not so that everyone can know how great you are but so that others see THEIR own greatness reflected in your clear image. ✨
Sadness usually doesn’t feel good. So we often think that if we feel sad, we are not good, especially if that sadness doesn’t seem justified. This is not true.
