It’s never too late to mend.
It is never too late to heal and change your life. It doesn’t matter how old you are or your circumstances. If you want to heal and change your life, it’s never too late. When we haven’t healed, we may be prone to bleed on people who didn’t cut us. We aren’t living our best life because we are still dealing with trauma. Many of us are still living in survival mode – which is

The borrower is slave to the lender.
As convenient or as good of an idea as taking out credit sounds, it is never a good idea. I suppose you can argue getting a mortgage is okay, and most of us, myself included, aren’t able to go out and buy a house with cash money. Having had our fair share of debt over the years, like credit cards, student loans and car loans, I never realized what it was really like to be

Are you scared? Good. We don’t grow when we stay inside our comfort zone.
When I was a kid, I went rock climbing with my youth group. I had never done it before and I was so far from my comfort zone. I wrote about this adventure outside of my comfort zone in an earlier post. I learned a lot about myself suspended in the air on a cliffside that Spring. I say this repeatedly, but it’s true: You cannot afford to live in potential for the rest of

Adversity and loss make a man wise.
When we go through adversity and loss, we learn more about who we are and how capable, resilient, and resourceful we are. Even when things are really bad, maybe just getting out of bed the next day is a win. As chaotic as a loss or adversity can be in our lives, there is an opportunity during these times to gain experience and learn more about ourselves and what we are made of. Living a

Don’t let anyone rent space in your head unless they are a good tenant.
Too many of us care way too much about what others think of us. While it is human to care about the opinions of the people we love, things can go off track fast when we start listening to other people’s opinions over our own. In a previous post, I talked about the book The Four Agreements. In the book, the term mitote is used to describe a fog in the mind of a thousand

What if I fall? Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?
We tend to worry about what will go wrong, rather than go right. You see, to live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist. They play it safe, never having to confront the possibilities of falling. The truth is, we were all born to fly. We all have a purpose here on this planet. We have no idea when our time is up. And we are perishable items. But it is

If you want something you’ve never had, you have to be willing to do things you’ve never done.
To have something you have never had, you have to want it more than you fear it. You have to be willing to do things that you’ve never done to make it happen. You have to ask yourself, how bad do you want it?

You can’t fit a round peg in a square hole.
Some of us are trying to be someone we aren’t because we think that is who we are supposed to be. If your younger, maybe your parents have an idea of what they want you to do to be successful – like go to college and become a doctor. Their heart might be in the right place, but maybe that isn’t who you are or what you want to do. When I was in high
