Keep growing, stay curious, keep learning. You're never done until you're done. And you'll never know it all. That's a good thing, because you should never be fully certain. Being certain means there's no room for growth. Being certain closes the mind. It kills it. The end of growth means the beginning of decay. It … Continue reading Keep Growing

Change it Up
Change is a natural part of life. In fact, change comes from growth, and if you aren't growing, you're dying. If there's anything that isn't working in your life, change it up. If there's something that feels stale and stagnant, or maybe too comfortable, change it up. There's no better time than the present. Change … Continue reading Change it Up
Comfortable
Being comfortable seems like something we all want, but it's not all it's cracked up to be. Being comfortable means that there's no reason to grow. And if you aren't growing, you're dying. Being comfortable can mean stagnation. And yet it's so seductive. The best bet you have is to stay alert. If you find … Continue reading Comfortable
Rewarding
The great thing about working on yourself, or any grand endeavor, is that the reward isn't just from achieving the goal, but also by who you become from it. Growth, and the wisdom you can gain from it, is often the best reward.
Get On With It
Time only marches forward. There is no pause button. There is no rewind. If you're resisting change, then you're only torturing yourself, because change is inevitable. You might as well get on with it, and learn to enjoy the ride. After all, if you aren't changing and growing, then you're rotting.
Obstacles
The road we travel on as we go through life is not always smooth. That's a good thing. Every obstacle we face can be looked at as an opportunity to pivot, get creative, to grow and get stronger. If we choose to, we end up getting better from each obstacle that we face along the … Continue reading Obstacles
Wisdom
Chances are, you're going to be wrong a lot of the time. Especially as you evolve and grow you'll realize that in order to learn, you're probably going to get it wrong, mostly, until suddenly you don't. It's when you acknowledge that you don't always know the right answer, that you show you've gained wisdom. … Continue reading Wisdom
Keep on
You may as well fully live, so long as you're still here. Keep learning, keep refining your skill set, and keep expressing love, as long as you're alive. If you don't keep improving, then you'll end up just rotting. There is no such thing as staying the same. Each day we change, and we get … Continue reading Keep on
Growth
With every new day you get a chance to become better. With every new day you get a chance to be kinder than you were before. With every new day you get a chance to be the best person you can be. You'll be growing with each new day regardless, it just makes life much … Continue reading Growth
Evolve
You are not done. Nothing is ever done. It's always changing, evolving and growing. Who you are today will change by tomorrow, even if only ever so slightly. Your beliefs, your knowledge, and certainly your life experience will keep changing. And that goes the same for everyone else. Just think about it. If you were … Continue reading Evolve
Life
Life is all too brief. So at some point, we should start living it, rather than always working on "getting our act together." How long do you need to give someone to "come to their senses" before you decide you better enjoy what time you have left - with or without them? How many years … Continue reading Life
Capability
One of my favorite analogies from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks is when they describe watching a little baby first try to walk, as they stumble and bumble around then fall, and how you would never say to them "Get up you little dummy!" because you accept that they are learning and finding their balance. So … Continue reading Capability
Compassion
Little kids are supposed to learn and grow each day. It's perfectly understandable that they will stumble, wobble, and fall as they learn to walk. It's expected that they won't have all of the words yet to be able to describe what they need. Or even to be able to pronounce them properly. We think … Continue reading Compassion
Practice
A long time ago, when diapers were a staple in my wardrobe, I couldn't walk without wobbling, or use a fork, or say the word "truck" correctly. (my "tr" sounded like an "F"... it was laugh riot at gatherings) Eventually, with enough practice, I went from wobbling to walking to running. With enough practice I … Continue reading Practice
Grow Through It
We grow from discomfort. We might prefer to always stay comfortable, but comfort can lead to stagnation which stops any kind of growth. And if we're not growing we're dying. Building strong muscles and a tight waistline comes from pushing past your comfort zone, lifting heavy weights, and breaking a sweat. Building new professional skills … Continue reading Grow Through It
Marching Forward
We grow from day to day, sometimes with each passing moment, and through each life lesson we change. Life keeps marching forward, and I know that I'm not the same person I was last year. I'm not even the same person I was last week. Some changes are subtle. Some changes leave me unrecognizable to … Continue reading Marching Forward
We are verbs
Deepak Chopra said, "you are not a noun, you are a verb." It was this flash of eloquent brilliance he dropped in a video of a much bigger discussion he was in with the Indian yogi Sadhguru, while on the topic of Ancient Wisdom in Modern Times. I just had to hit pause and jot … Continue reading We are verbs
