Decide To Love Something
I think people worry too much about loving their current situation. I know I do. “I’m not where I want to be. Dating who I want to be. Having the money I wish I had. The physique I want to have. The strength I want to have” yadda yadda. Loving the process is key. So…

Uncomfortable Conversations
Tim Ferriss says something like, “A person’s success can be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have”. When looking internally you can see why this is true. You don’t get the date with the girl unless you ask. You don’t get the sale if you are too afraid…

Trying Things Out
Kate Spade was tired of her job and her husband said “you like handbags, why not that?” She made 6 designs, made them out of burlap, just tucked away in a corner of a trade show and just went for it. She just tried it out. And it happened. For every great idea you’ll have…

2nd Best Isn’t Bad
A coffee shop opened up a block from Starbucks in Newtown. I loved it from the beginning. I always picture myself being the owner and starting out, so I felt need to stop in as much as I could. Biz was slow… ( so it seemed at least ) But… One day I walked in…

I’m not a particularly confident person. So I’m writing about confidence. Besides sheer arrogance, Confidence builds with 3 things. Knowledge. Improvement. and Fearing Less. Knowledge (Expertise). Notice how confidently professors speak when giving a lecture? Your favorite YouTuber speaks on their niche HOW-TO video? A karate instructor teaching a form to a class? Talk to…

Know Your Self
Know your mood. If you’re not there to play ball don’t show up. Lets say you have plans but you just aren’t feeling it. It’s a big party and everyone can’t wait to have a blast. Except for you. Moods happen and that’s totally okay. Sometimes it’s better to opt out than be the vibe…

Picking Sides
Ever catch yourself picking sides just for the sake of the argument? This tiny social interaction bothers me to this day. It was during the Trump election. walking into my yoga class a classmate asked if I was at the Bernie rally earlier that day. I replied with a condescending response, “I didn’t go to…

Moving On
I recently shifted my career direction. Fancy way of saying I quit a business. Starting a business was fun, it was a field that was new to me and anything that is new is exciting. Creating something, bringing it from zero to one, is a very satisfying feeling. I was addicted to that feeling, though…

Inherently Lazy
I always always try to observe myself/behavior. One thing I came to realize… I am inherently lazy. If I do not “have” to do it, I just won’t. And I justify why I do not need to to make myself feel good about it. Very self defeating quality. This is why I assign myself “homework”.…
