Life can be unpredictable and indiscriminate in its challenges.

Good people, bad people, and everyone in between face heartbreaking tragedies, unexpected job losses, and moments where justice feels out of reach. Life often throws us into a game we were never taught to play, with curveballs that test our resilience and strength. It’s crucial to embrace both the highs and the lows, finding balance in the chaos. After every storm, the sun emerges, reminding us to breathe and persevere through difficult times. While we may not immediately understand why things happen, the reasons often reveal themselves in time, offering clarity and growth in hindsight.

Over the years, I’ve worked with countless individuals striving for change, growth, and success. A common theme that […]

Life isn’t a rehearsal; it’s the real deal.

We often forget this simple truth: we only get one shot. This is your only chance to create something extraordinary. So, make it count. Stop sweating the small stuff that won’t matter in a few months. Let go of grudges and step beyond your comfort zone. Push yourself to embrace the bold, the exciting, and the unforgettable.

It’s your call—stop wasting time and start chasing adventures, seizing opportunities, and embracing everything that makes your heart race.

Say YES to the fullness of life and NO to settling for less.

There’s no rewind button—this is it.

Make it brilliant.

Hidden within every ordinary moment lies something extraordinary, waiting to be noticed—if only we choose to see it.

You come first—not your boss, clients, co-workers, kids, neighbors, parents, or partner. The truth behind the saying, ‘You can’t pour from an empty cup,’ is often overlooked yet incredibly important.

Far too many of us exhaust ourselves trying to please others, prioritizing their needs while neglecting our own. You can’t truly show up for anyone else when you’re running on empty.

Your happiness, health, and well-being must take center stage before you can give your best to others.

Now that I’m in my 70s, I’ve been through my fair share of twists and turns—more than a few times.

Along the way, I’ve learned some valuable lessons, often the hard way. After all, there’s no teacher quite like experience. I’m a lifelong learner at heart.

Every act of kindness has a way of finding its way back to us, often when we least expect it. Consider the last time you crossed paths with someone in need.

Maybe you offered a small token—a dollar, a warm drink, or a smile.

These simple gestures may cost little, yet their impact runs deep. In helping others, we often lift ourselves, too.

In the bustle of daily life, it’s easy to overlook how small acts of goodwill can have profound effects.

So, extend kindness to those around you; you might brighten their day—and yours.

During my college years in Santa Cruz, California, I spent three months homeless, even while working. I lived in my VW van, which I’d managed to outfit with a small […]

All things are fleeting—the highs and lows, the people who cross our path, the places we call home, our jobs, our worries, and even life itself. What feels heavy or unchangeable today will eventually pass as the joys we cherish become memories over time. Recognizing the impermanence of everything can help us savor the present, appreciate what we have while it’s here, and let go of what we cannot hold onto. Embracing this perspective invites us to live more fully and take life’s ups and downs in stride.

Have you ever taken a moment to listen to the stories your mind is weaving?

Consider that every strong emotion you feel could be an experience meant to pass through you.

What if, instead of […]
