How many of us take better care of our possessions than we do our bodies? Cars.Lawns.Homes.Jewelry.Shoes. Many of us take more pride in the appearance of these material possessions than we do our physical Selves—and not that the appearance of our physical Self guarantees health, but there is something to be said about the time, attention, and resources that are allocated to keeping all of these in good shape and looking their best. I’ve been guilty numerous times in the past of relaxing on...

“Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.”-Marcus Aurelius We often put more limits on our Selves than others do.There is a good chance that something you want to pursue has already been done by someone else, which means it’s possible for you, too. You may not believe you can do it, but the fact that it has been done by someone else means that it is possible for you, too.One of my favorite...

“The universe is only as large as our perception of it. When we cultivate our awareness, we are expanding the universe.

None of that matters because they don’t see any differences–they just see another human being because they are operating from a place of love. Read any book on consciousness, and love is one of the...

Routines are great, but sometimes they need to be adjusted. Make sure you stay adaptable to the adjustments you might need to make within your daily routines An example of this is writing my Daily Note.

Inauthenticity. A cause of burnout that no one talks about is inauthenticity. This inauthenticity is not always by choice, and often, it’s not even something the individual is aware of.
