Task Direction

Published on January 21, 2023

In all that you do, question deeply the direction each task points you in.

While it may feel obvious that we want to be pointed towards “success,” “fulfillment,” “realized potential”…

The things we do each day often act in opposition to those seemingly obvious goals. When you look closely, what you might realize is that:

  • “Success tasks” often point you away from family.
  • “Fulfillment tasks” often point you away from yourself.
  • “Realized potential tasks” often point you away from skill building.

Repeat after me: no action without confirmed direction.

P.s. If you want to ensure the actions of your life are pointed in the right direction (and you don’t arrive at a later point in your life with regret), I created a guide that you can get here.

A Better World Via Better Moments

Published on January 19, 2023

A simple formula guaranteed to make the world a better place:

  • Leave each room you spend time in better than you found it.
  • Leave each person you converse with warmer than you found them.
  • Leave each natural setting you traverse cleaner than you found it.

If we can get into the habit of actively seeking opportunities to improve the world inside our daily moments… how could we not improve the world via our life?

Skipping The Hard Part

Published on January 18, 2023

Arriving at the destination of your dreams MINUS the substantial hard work is a formula that thrusts an unrealized version of you into over-your-head dream situations.

  • It’s the “author” who can’t hold a deep conversation on the book topic.
  • It’s the fitness “influencer” who can’t teach a 1-hour fitness class.
  • It’s the business “coach” who has never built their own business.

It’s precisely the thing that makes arriving at the destination HARD that allows you to actualize your full inner strength and potential.

Skipping the hard part only makes your weaker, more incompetent, less insightful version show up to the opportunities you’ve always dreamed to have.

…Which will quickly turn into a nightmare after all.

This is all to say… stop trying to skip the hard part.

P.s. These are the 20 books I read in 2022. Which one would you like to read key insights from the most?

Stepping Stone Goals

Published on January 17, 2023

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

Published on January 14, 2023

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

Published on January 12, 2023

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.

P.s. I’m so incredibly grateful for the support I received in the launch of my first ever digital product—from the purchases, to the shares, to the reviews, to the comments, to the just plain great vibes… it was an overwhelmingly positive day and I am deeply grateful for each of you who contributed to it.
