Know Thyself
When you have to hustle and grind for something, you’re really inviting, embracing, and loving struggle and stress and pain. The hard way. You are actually embracing the path of most resistance. Watch this video, or read the full video transcript below, for more. Stop Hustling and Grinding I cringe every time I see or hear a human being encourage another human being to hustle or grind to achieve an outcome. My wife Angie calls these people “grind gurus” and “hustle whores.” What these people are actually teaching you is to fight life, fight nature and fight yourself. Maybe […]

Be A Rebel
Just Be You The greatest act of rebellion that a single human being can possibly demonstrate in this lifetime is to fully be yourself. Fully embrace your authenticity, talents, gifts, and desires to fully impact the world in your special, unique way. The educational, political, and economic systems were all set up so you become just like everyone else. From the time that we were little kids, we were put on a cookie press, and we were pressed into the exact same figurine over and over and over. We were taught to think, be, and behave like everyone else. […]

Go With the Flow of Your Emotions
True courage is the willingness to feel every emotion. Consider this emotional courage — the only true courage. I misunderstood this for a long time. Courage isn’t the absence of emotion, as I was taught as a little boy, a Marine, and an adult man. The absence of emotion, or refusing to feel emotion, is pure hell and isolation. This is fear of feeling, not courage. Yesterday, I woke up feeling powerful. Optimism flooded my body and mind, and my whole life was going to positively change in an instant according to my body and mind. This morning I woke up […]

The World Will Show You What You Believe
Up until recently, I held this painful belief that I was alone in the world, I couldn’t depend on anyone, I had to do it all on my own. It was a very painful place to be. When you hold that type of belief, you look for evidence in the world, and you’ll find it. The world will show you whatever you believe. Even when it’s a painful belief. When you hold a painful belief and then you see evidence of the contrary, those two will collide. And oftentimes, we value the painful belief over the positive one, and at […]

Fuel for My Dreams
Years ago I made a radical shift in my life, identity, and what I stood for. My entire life shifted quickly, and it’s evolved from that day forward. But I first remember thinking, “I can’t be different, what will they think?” Well, that was because I had people in my life who cared more about how I fit into their world and what I did for them… Instead of caring about me, what I wanted, and who I wanted to be. You can shift at any time. On a dime. I made the decision to be prepared to lose everyone because […]

I Choose to Not Care
It’s not that I don’t care about chaos in the world… It’s that I can’t care and still live the life I desire to live. I used to turn over my success, happiness, and freedom to others… The media… Religion… Politics… Economics… Social drama… I used to decide if I could be happy based on what was going on around me. I never stood a chance. Serving From My Perspective The greatest purpose that I can serve to the world and society is to turn my complete and full attention to my own health and well-being, my business impact […]

The Stories We Tell Ourselves
Byron Katie once said, “When we believe in our thoughts, when we tell ourselves a story, we suffer. When there’s no story, there’s no suffering.” The stories we tell ourselves are based on our beliefs. Our beliefs create our reality, so when we decide to believe painful things, we are making the decision to choose a painful life. As children, we might not be able to discern, but as adults, we certainly have a choice. We can choose the most loving beliefs and the ones that promote joy, happiness, success, and freedom, instead of the ones that make life difficult. […]
