Self-Imposed Freedom

I don’t care what anybody says…

  • Forcing myself to write daily
  • Trapping myself in the gym regularly
  • Locking myself into a monotonous routine
  • Restricting myself to a tight eating window
  • Limiting my access to certain people/ media

…is the ultimate expression of freedom.

4k Visualizations

Don’t just visualize.

Do deep visualizations.

They are not the same practice.

Until you can see in 4k clarity who you want to become, you’ll continue acting in standard definition—i.e. in the same standard manner you always have.

But with 4k clarity, you can start acting in ways your most powerful version would… because you can see, feel, and even hear everything that that version of you does—all the way down to how they move their arm from bed to alarm clock first thing in the morning.

It’s just a matter of bringing that version into focus by upgrading the TV of your mind.

Referencing a 1990’s, box and antenna, blurry-at-best definition screen won’t take you to 4k land.

4k land requires 4k vision.

It’s time to upgrade.

A Better Tomorrow Made Easy

Things you can do today for a better tomorrow MINUS the grandiosity and IN SPITE of being busy:

  • Smile
  • Relax
  • Listen
  • Greet first
  • Go second
  • Hold doors
  • Ignore haters
  • Pay compliments
  • Round up for charity
  • Commit kindness acts
  • Clean up after yourself
  • Clean up after others
  • Check in on loved ones
  • Check in on yourself
  • Ask interesting questions
  • Journal the answers to interesting questions

Just because *the* world is presenting the opposite doesn’t mean *your* world has to.

Shield yourself from *the* world by becoming an atmospheric influence in your own right.


P.s. Here’s a list of 101 Acts of Kindness That’ll Help Recalibrate The World.

10k Steps

How to get 10k steps per day:

  • Walk away from temptations
  • Walk away from toxic situations
  • Walk away from mindless media
  • Walk away from close-minded people
  • Walk away from work problems when home

P.s. Want to know what else people are doing to get 10k steps per day? Check these ideas out.

Becoming A Primary Caregiver

We don’t think to inspect things that aren’t broken.

We’re too busy and distracted for that.

But, inspecting things that aren’t broken (on occasion) is an excellent strategy for ensuring they stay that way.

For example, I have a doctor’s appointment this week and asked to get general blood work done.

Why? Not because I’m sick, feeling ill, or have any noteworthy symptoms—but, to ensure my levels are solid and aren’t trending in the wrong direction considering I’ve never gotten it done before.

This isn’t something my doctor would just think to do out of the blue—he’s way too busy and distracted for that.

This is something I have to think of on my own because I need to be my own primary caregiver—as nobody will (should) care or think as intimately about my ongoing health goals/issues as me.

And the same is true for you.


I asked: “How do you practice vulnerability in your life?” I hope the answers inspire you to practice it more in your life, too.

Maybe It’s Not You

Maybe it’s not:

  • Depression (non-clinical)
  • Self-induced anxiety
  • Poor self-control
  • Awful self-image
  • Laziness

Maybe you’re just hanging around the wrong people.

On Coming Around

People will come around when they will.

It’s not your responsibility to make them come around or to expedite their coming around process (unless, of course, it is).

It’s your responsibility to focus on your own coming around.

Don’t put your life on hold so that others can have somebody else focused on their coming around.

Keep playing your life out as you will (without hesitation or apology) and leave behind a strong model worth coming around for.
