In Self-Reliance, Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…”. Don’t allow your current ideas and opinions to be dictated by what you used to think. We are all evolving. And through that process, we may dramatically change our believes – and that okay. It means you are growing. The truth is change is the only constant in life. Just like the seasons change and we grow and evolve, everything

One of my favorite motivational videos is from Jocko Willink. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s so valuable it is worth repeating. If you are still breathing, that means you are still alive and you still have some fight left inside you. You believe that you have tried every possible solution, but there are always other possibilities. Remember, the way out is through. And you have it within you to get through it.

Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Simple Man espouses so much wisdom. Yes, money can make our lives more stable. But how many times have we heard stories about people who are “rich” and are incredibly miserable and lonely? We all need money to survive, but the “lust for the rich man’s gold” has destroyed many more people than it has saved. From time to time, we get caught up in what we don’t have materialistically. I’ve said this

It’s completely human to care about what the people who we love think of us. We naturally want to be liked and accepted. Where things start to go off track is when we start listening to other people’s opinions over our own. We only have this one life while we are here on this Earth. Like Ferris Bueller says, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you

Thomas Edison is famous for saying, “I haven’t failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The truth is, we miss 100% of the shots we don’t take. If we are out there still trying, we are still in the game. And if you’re doing that, it might surprise you know that even if you are going slow in your progress, you are still lapping everyone who is sitting on the couch. Sadly, a

You can be deceitful and treacherous, and no one may never know what you did. But you will know it. Any for many of us, the toll of carrying that box of rocks can stick with us for a long time. At the end of the day, all we really have is our word and our integrity. And we determine our own set of core values and morals. Having integrity means that we behave consistently

When you are fearful, you become more ego focused. You want to protect your ego at all costs. A great example of this is in romantic relationships when we fear our significant other leaving us or becoming interested in someone else. We turn into horrible versions of ourselves, filled with insecurity, suspicion, and distrust. And we end up creating exactly what we fear the most, because our behavior pushes them away.

Anger can be a powerful motivator and it is a healthy emotion. I look back at some decisions I have made in my life and there have been times that anger has fueled me towards my goal or kept me motivated. But what happens when we hold onto anger? When we hold on to feeling angry, it is like drinking poison and expecting person who wounded us to die. It’s really a punishment we give
