Your Ego Isn’t Your True Self

Recognizing this is important to claiming your power. There is only one person inside of your head, heart, and soul. That would be you. Only you can think your thoughts, feel your feelings, intend your intentions, choose your approach, and take your actions. Obvious, right? Not so much. The entire anti-woke movement misses this. If they didn’t, they’d recognize and acknowledge that being woke – awake and aware – is far better than being asleep at the switch or allowing

You Alone Can Know Who You Are

Only you can get inside your mind and be who you desire to be. Everyone has their own way of doing things. Some people swear by this routine or that practice and tell you it’s the One True Way. Maybe what they do will work for you, too. Maybe. But there are no guarantees. That’s because who you are is not who they are. No two people are the same. Alike? Sure. The same? No. Every single person on Planet

Your Comfort Zone Might Be a Lie

Finding and/or creating change is tied directly to this. What is a comfort zone? Often, it’s not a place that’s actually comfortable. No, frequently a comfort zone is a place that’s familiar, known, and relatively stable for you. Your comfort zone can be mental, emotional, spiritual, or physical. Mentally, it might be an ideal, a truth, a belief you cling to (even in the face of it being uncomfortable or disprovable). Emotionally, it might be a feeling or love, connection,

Before You Love Yourself, Learn to Like Yourself

This step is often skipped. You and I live in a quick-fix society. Everywhere you look, there are life-hacks, shortcuts, the latest pill for weight-loss, cryptocurrency for instant wealth, and so on. Society almost always focuses on the end goal. To be respected, to be seen as someone, to shine, you must achieve. There must be a visible success you can point to. Fail to achieve, and all that you are gets called into question. The problem with the quick-fix,

Stay The Course or Find a New Path?

An ill-defined line understood only through stillness and mindfulness. No matter who you are, what you do, or where you come from, you’re always experiencing things. This happens both passively and actively. I’ve said for years that there are three primary ways to choose to live your life. They are: Nobody chooses only one of the above. Everyone will flit from one to the other to the other from time to time. There are also additional variations for how to

Wouldn’t You Prefer Awake and Aware Over Asleep and Ignorant?

You’re empowered to make choices and decisions to live your life. Who is living your life? Is there anyone else inside of your mind, body, and soul? Can another person climb inside of your head, heart, and spirit and live your life? No. Yet an almost overwhelming narrative from various influencers, leaders, and instructors paints a different picture. They offer a vision of a specific, monochromatic viewpoint of what’s best for everyone. Given that all 8 billion people on Planet

You’re the Protagonist of Your Life Experience

It’s incredibly easy to forget that. It’s not disingenuous to say that life is a story. It has a defined beginning, middle, and ending. Along the way, you have rising and falling action, meet colorful characters, heroes and villains, and everyone in between. The story of your life does have one, single, solitary constant. The protagonist. Across every aspect of your life, from beginning, middle, to the end, the protagonist remains the same. That would be you. While you, the

Your Path Begins Within You, Not Without

Only you can choose via your head, heart, and soul Everyone faces certain big questions along the way. Who are you? What do you desire? Why are you doing that? Sometimes these questions feel invasive. Other times, you can answer them with certainty. Most of the time, you need to look within to truly know what the answers are. None of the answers to these questions are static. They change. That’s because change is the only constant in the universe.

No Path In Life Is Obstacle-Free

Are they obstacles or unique opportunities? Some weeks, this article gets written the day before I post it. Other weeks, like this one, it doesn’t get done until the morning I create it. It never ceases to amaze me how it just flows with ease one week, while another it’s a struggle to find what I desire to write about. This is one of the latter weeks. It doesn’t help that it’s a rainy day. Not in the sense of

Who Do You Think You Are?

No, seriously, who do YOU think you are? It’s all too easy to worry about what others think of you. Hell, whole industries exist to address this. Almost every single advertisement sells you on the idea that if you don’t buy this product or service, you won’t get laid, everyone will think less of you, you’ll miss out, and so on. Be the envy of your friends and family by buying “X” rather than the butt of the joke or
