Reading Time: 2 minutesWhat rarely gets talked about when it comes to motivation is identity—who you are, and even more importantly, who you believe you are at your core. Everyone’s searching for the right habits, the perfect routine, the secret system. But none of that matters if you’re not asking the right question: Who do I think I am? The two most powerful words in the English language? I am. That’s it. And whatever you put after those two words? That’s your life’s trajectory.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThere’s a subtle addiction that’s hijacking our energy and attention. It’s not caffeine. It’s not social media. It’s complaining. Specifically, complaining about things you have zero control over. We’ve all done it. We vent. We rage. We stew. We convince ourselves that vocalizing our frustration somehow makes us more virtuous, more aware, more engaged. But in the end, what does it change?
Reading Time: 3 minutesYou won’t feel fully at peace. Not until you’ve stepped into the one thing you were put here to do. You may succeed in a thousand ways—career wins, Instagram applause, checking boxes on someone else’s list—but deep down, you’ll still feel it: the ache that says, this isn’t it yet.
Reading Time: 3 minutesHumans are wired for connection. We’re a species built on community, on collaboration, on carrying one another through the hardest parts of life. So why does asking for help feel like failure? Here’s the truth most people won’t admit: asking for help takes more strength than going it alone. Because real strength isn’t about pretending to have it all figured out—it’s about having the courage to admit when you don’t.
Reading Time: 2 minutesLet’s stop pretending. The most dangerous lies aren’t the ones we tell others. They’re the ones we whisper to ourselves in the dark. The lies that keep us comfortable. Safe. Stuck. Why do we do it? Why do we convince ourselves we’re fine when we’re not? Why do we chase things we know we’ll regret and walk away from the very things that could change our lives forever?
Reading Time: 3 minutesI hope you’ll allow yourself to contain more than one truth. That may be one of the most freeing—and terrifying—statements you’ll ever face. Because if it’s true, then it means you’re not locked into the chapter you’re currently living in. It means you’re not defined by the worst thing you’ve done, the biggest failure you’ve endured, or even the highest mountain you’ve climbed.
Reading Time: 3 minutes“Maybe you don’t need to find more energy. Maybe you just need to find a dream that makes you actually want to get up in the morning.” We live in a culture obsessed with productivity hacks, energy drinks, and hustle culture. Wake up at 5am. Meditate. Ice bath. Attack the day. But here’s the truth most won’t say out loud: None of it matters if you’re chasing the wrong dream.
Reading Time: 3 minutesThere will come a day when the clock runs out. Not on a meeting. Not on your to-do list. Not on the reminder you set to “get serious next week.” I’m talking about the real clock—your time, your shot, your life. And when that moment arrives, it won’t tap you on the shoulder and ask if you’re finished. It won’t delay for your convenience.
Reading Time: 3 minutesThere’s a phrase we’ve all heard—maybe even believed at some point: “Ignorance is bliss.” It sounds peaceful, even liberating. If you don’t know, you don’t have to care. If you’re unaware, you’re unbothered.
But here’s the hard truth: Ignorance might feel like protection—but it’s actually a cage.
Reading Time: 3 minutesIn life, there’s one guarantee: you don’t get to choose the timing. You don’t get to decide when the opportunity arrives, when the breakthrough hits, or when the door opens. But you do get to choose who shows up to meet it.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe heartbreak of losing a pet, a companion, a piece of your heart…one week ago today, I lost my sweet girl, Bebe. To the few who understand, no further explanation is needed. But most people who read this post won’t get it, not really. And that’s ok.
Reading Time: 5 minutesDiscovering the right path in life is a challenge we all encounter. It involves setting achievable goals to attain success. Without goals, there is no drive, and without drive, progress is impossible. Remember, setting and striving for your goals with determination…
Reading Time: 4 minutesAs soon as I wrote the title for this article, I knew it would be a controversial one. Not quite at the level of politics, religion, gun control, or abortion, but controversial nonetheless. We’re taught to avoid giving unsolicited advice, and for good reason.
Reading Time: 12 minutes“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” Excuse me while I empty my bowels into the nearest toilet. Please understand, it’s not that I disagree with the sentiment – nothing could be further from the truth…
Reading Time: 8 minutesWhat is motivation, anyway? Simply put, motivation is your desire to do something. “It’s the sense of willingness that exists on a spectrum – from zero interest to a burning desire to take action.” Wow, that was (too) easy. I don’t care…
Reading Time: 8 minutesIf it’s important to you, you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse. Have you ever convinced yourself that a goal or ambition you had was unrealistic, unattainable, or simply not worth the effort? Humans have many ways to rationalize our lack of discipline or laziness…
Reading Time: 6 minutesWhat can we say about time that hasn’t been said a million times before? A quick Google search for “quotes about time” will bring up too many old favorites to list: quotes about the value of time, how we shouldn’t waste it, how short it is—you get the idea.
Reading Time: 2 minutesSuch a simple question carries a profound message. It’s a question I think too many of us don’t ask often enough. I certainly know that it’s a question I avoided asking myself for years, because asking yourself this question opens yourself open to hearing the answer.
