Show up
Success in life really comes down to these two words: Show up. There is nothing magical or hard about it. When you show up good things will eventually happen. When you show up you are keeping the commitment that you made to yourself. This one thing alone is just as important as the showing…

Never quit, but you can pivot
One of my favorite topics to write and talk about is goals. Not because I consider myself to be an expert in setting and achieving them. It is quite frankly the exact opposite. I actually come up short on them more often than I would like to admit. How I learned the value of never…

You’re Going To Miss Me When I’m Gone
I have spent the last 73 days (based on my calculations) tracking the lockdown, quarantine, shelter in place, or whatever you want to call it. By tracking, I mean I have written a few notes down in my journal. Nothing too elaborate. But just some general notes to remind me of the sentiment of what…

Why Power only exists in Truth
I am sure you have talked to someone before about a job, a relationship, or some other situation, where that person was receiving less than they deserve.

Implementing this one activity every other day has been a game changer for my life.
There are certain things in life that all of us must do every single day. Things like brush our teeth, eat, drink water, and… If you have children you have to make sure they do these same things everyday as well. Now you could say that you have to go to work every single day,…
