Category: Feeling Fulfilled

Inside Jobs

  • Joy is an inside job.
  • Love is an inside job.
  • Health is an inside job.
  • Identity is an inside job.
  • Success is an inside job.
  • Discipline is an inside job.
  • Fulfillment is an inside job.

In today’s world, it’s easier than ever to think the opposite.

But, don’t get it twisted… the feelings/ states that you most desire…

Are built from the work you do within—never without.


P.s. I had a great conversation today with Emily Leahy and Samantha Demers on Scaling Businesses/ Energy Management/ and Mindset Mastery (conversation starts at the 3:40 mark). If this tickles your fancy, this conversation is for you (available for 30 days). Enjoy!

What’s Enough?

I have access to:

  • More books than I could ever read
  • More art than I could ever fully absorb
  • More nature than I could ever “bathe” in
  • More amazing people than I could ever meet
  • More beautiful food and health facilities than I could ever need

If that’s not enough, then I don’t know what is.

What’s Missing?

Outside of material items, what are you missing from your life?

Take a minute to really think about it.

…What are you missing?

Now… are you missing it because others aren’t giving it to you or because you aren’t giving it to yourself?

In most cases, what we feel like we’re missing has nothing to do with other people.


P.s. In case you missed it, here’s the replay of the LIVE chat I hosted today on Twitter about Embracing Adversity. My co-host had an incredible story and there were a ton of gems shared. Start at the 5 minute mark.

The Life Of Your Dreams

You should wait for someone else to create the life of your dreams for you.

…Ridiculous.

Yet, I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it as being a belief you don’t—in some way—hold.

  • Are you waiting for your parents to give you their permission or approval?
  • Are you waiting for your boss to give you that raise and those benefits?
  • Are you waiting for some arbitrary opportunity to present itself that’ll sweep you off your feet, take you across the globe, and pay you for breathing?

…Or do you already know what the life of your dreams looks like and are you already building towards that vision each day?

Because if you’re not… how do you think the life of your dreams is going to be realized?

Are you absolutely sure you’re not waiting for someone else to create circumstances that’ll lead to the life of your dreams?

Because if you are… reality check: you will only ever live the life you create for yourself.


P.s. In case you missed it, you can read the best of what I posted to MoveMe Quotes last week, here.

Renewing Less

A desire for more isn’t usually satisfied with more. It forever renews.

A desire for less, however, can be satisfied.

Eventually, all that will be left is what’s most useful, important, and necessary.

THIS is the desire that should be forever renewed.

Content vs. Complacent (Round 2)

Complacency is given.

Content is earned.

Complacency is sitting on the couch.

Content is sitting on the couch after a workout.

Complacency is eating crappy foods.

Content is eating crappy foods on your cheat day after an entire week of clean eating.

Complacency is binging watching TV.

Content is binge watching TV after a week of reading, writing, meditating, and contributing.

Complacency is what happens when we follow our lazy inclinations and accept regression.

Content is what happens when we follow our curiosities and challenge ourselves to grow.

Both complacency and contentment represent a sort of acceptance.

The major difference, that’s imperative to understand, is the trajectory of where you’re heading from that state of acceptance.

The trajectory of complacency is an increasingly downward slope towards atrophy, dullness, and discontentment.

And the trajectory of contentment is an increasingly upward slope towards strength, sharpness, and joy.

Don’t get it twisted.

100x Your Gratitude

Gratitude is usually about appreciating all that we have.

What if, to take gratitude further, we appreciated all that we didn’t have, too?

Things like:

  • Sicknesses/diseases/disorders
  • Greed/envy/wrath
  • War/crime/hate

This exercise will 100x your gratitude list at least.
