You will never change your life until you change what you do daily. Consistency will always be more effective than short term intensity. Short term intensity often comes from feeling highly motivated. It can be a great start towards a goal, but discipline is born out of consistency. Discipline is what is going to keep you going when you aren’t motivated. And no one is motivated 100% of the time. Tim Ferris says, “The decent

There is a difference between wanting a sign and being open to listening for answers or guidance. When I think about times that I just wanted a sign that I was doing the right thing, I was really looking for reassurance that I was doing the right thing. I was seeking evidence that I was making the right choice. And that is where things can get tricky. If you’ve been reading my posts for a

We all have been to a point where we throw our hands up in the air and just want to give up. I’ve found myself there many, many times. What we need to remember during these times is that sometimes our lives have to completely fall apart, so we can rebuild it, stronger than it’s ever been. We have to go through the darkness to get to the light. What may feel like the end

Without trust, you cannot have a deep, meaningful love. Think of trust as the foundation of a building. If you have a solid, concrete foundation, it is going to hold the structure on top of it well.

It’s human nature to stick with our same old patterns and routines, even when we know we’ve outgrown them. We take comfort in the known, and the unknown fuels feelings of uncertainty. We’d rather stick with the devil we know, because at least it is predicable. Change is inevitable, growth is optional. We can stick to our same habits and stay comfortable. But we know that the real magic in life happens outside of our

It’s so easy to get caught up in the loop of wondering why someone behaves the way that they do. Let’s look at this dynamic in romantic relationships. There are times when our partner will unintentionally hurt us and times when we will do the same. In a healthy relationship, you can talk openly and honestly about it and come up with a plan on how to handle things going forward. But what happens when

How did we get so comfortable with the idea of waiting for “someday” to do the things that really bring our soul joy? “Someday” is that magical point in time that never really gets here where our dreams go to die. Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. We always think that we’ll have time to do the things we want to do the most and say the things we really
