Week 13, 2024
Be earnest! It's more vulnerable, but infinitely better for all of us, and one of the best ways to make the most of your 4000 weeks.
Week 7, 2024
Sometimes a thing just has to be done in less than ideal circumstances. And if it has to be done, just do it, and try to smile. The second you realize that you have choice, then the question is: "Who do I want to become?"
Week 4, 2024
You can choose to be tougher. You should value toughness over ability. You always have a choice to endure, to push yourself a bit farther than you prefer.
Week 2, 2024
Your "self" isn't immutable. You aren't "a certain type of person". You are an evolving experiment. One that is certainly affected by the observer, and one whose outcome is affected by the inputs. If you want to carry something different in your heart, you can do that. You just have to want it bad enough that you can let go of the person you have been.
Week 48, 2023
The reason for the season, regardless of which flavor your tribe celebrates, is to be generous and kind with your time, attention, and treasure.
Week 47, 2023
If you want to get good at something, you are going to need to first be ok being bad at it. If you can do that, then the next thing to do is figure out how you can put yourself in situation where you can safely make a whole bunch of mistakes in a short time. Get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
Week 45, 2023
Having a failure is fine, maybe even essential. I think we are all who we are because of how we handled adversity more than how we handle success. You don't have to own anything outside of your control. All you can control is how you take the next step through the world.
Week 38, 2023
The truth is, everything is uncertain except for this instant, and I am deeply grateful for it. It is so easy to get caught up in the micro-bummers of day to day life... but even spilled coffee, while not my prefered outcome, is still amazing!
Week 28, 2023
Growth is the theme this week. I am a relentless promoter of YOU, and what you can accomplish. I believe so much in nearly everyone's ability to change their situation that I start to sound like a broken record at times. But... talking about it is the easy part... That's what I mean when I say that changing your life is simple, but it isn't easy. The plan is simple, but the execution is going to be uncomfortable.
Week 27, 2023
Your path is your path
And while it may be informed by the good and bad choices of all those who came before you, you (and you only) bear responsibility for your path.
And so own it, make peace with it, rip the band-aids off, look your weaknesses and shortcomings in the eye and just keep growing.
