Stepping Stone Goals

The thing about creating MASSIVE goals…

Is that doing the small things required to realize them feels disproportionately beneath them.

Focus less on the MASSIVE and focus more on the stepping-stone goals that make the non-negotiable small actions feel more substantial and worthy.

Believe The Act

If somebody says they love you, but acts like they don’t… believe the act.

If somebody says they’re trustworthy, but acts two-faced and shady… believe the shady.

If somebody says they’re hardworking, but whines at sight of hard work… believe the whine.

If somebody says they’re humble, but obsessively tries to steal the spotlight… believe the stealing.

If somebody says family is the most important, but scoffs when you say you’re prioritizing family over work… believe the scoff.

What’s funny is that the people who act in contradiction to what they say might actually believe what they’re saying. But, what YOU should believe is how they act. Always.

Specific Gratitude

The more specific you can be with your gratitude, the more impactful it will be.

Specificity requires a more careful, deep thought process which naturally challenges you to spend more time and pull from deeper parts inside of yourself. General gratitude happens in less time and from a more peripheral area which naturally makes it less impactful and more fleeting.

“I’m thankful for my spouse,” for example, is not the same as “I’m thankful for the effort my spouse puts into making me feel seen and heard—from the way they lock eye contact to the way they silently nod and let me finish my complete train of thought to the way they respond deliberately and elegantly.”

There’s no denying the impact of any and all practiced gratitude.

Specificity, however, is how you unleash the power of gratitude in full.

Aim For Direction

The goal isn’t healed—it’s to move towards healing.

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s to move towards excellence.

The goal isn’t detached—it’s to move towards non-attachment.

The goal isn’t unemotional—it’s to improve emotional intelligence.

The goal isn’t done—it’s to move towards a finish that has a rewarding path.

Aiming at unarrivable destinations can be quite frustrating… try aiming for a better direction instead.


P.s. Tomorrow (1/12) at 10am EST I will be releasing my first ever digital guide! In it, I’ll help you build unwavering confidence in your life’s direction in just 30 days. It’s powerful, concise, and beautifully illustrated. I can’t wait to share it with you. Full details will be sent tomorrow!

What’s enough?

There’s no universal answer. But, if you’re able to:

  • Flip a switch for instant electric
  • Turn a knob for instant fresh water
  • Call loved ones and chat for no reason
  • Big toe a pedal for traveling speeds of 70+mph
  • Tap a phone for instant connection to unlimited knowledge

I’d say you’re doing pretty damn well.


P.s. My first digital product is DONE. I will be releasing it this Thursday (1/12) at 10am. I’m ecstatic. Stay tuned. 😬

Knocking On Doors

Things I discovered today from knocking on neighbors’ doors after the Buffalo Blizzard:

  • An elderly neighbor, who had an electric stove (but no electricity) had no way of heating up the food she had stored.
  • Two neighbors had no way of communicating (in case of serious emergency) because their phones died (and they were completely snowed in their houses).
  • A really unlucky neighbor’s window got smashed in early into the blizzard (from a patio pole that came loose from wind gusts)—causing blizzard like conditions to scream into her living room of her unpowered house.

I share this, not to share how helpful I was in helping solve these problems, but as a reminder that sometimes, the people who need the most help are the ones who have the most trouble asking.

The elderly neighbor wasn’t gonna trudge through the snow knocking on doors to ask for help—and the neighbor whose window got smashed in was so barricaded with snow that she couldn’t even open her front door without risking it breaking from bowing.

This goes for the people in everyday weather situations just as much as it does for people in the midst of a post-blizzard reality.

If you can find it in yourself to take the initiative, offer help proactively, and make it a regular selfless practice of asking something as simple as: “Hey! Is there anything I can do to help you?”—I imagine you’ll make a profound impact in the lives of some really grateful, humble-hearted people.
