I posted something to social media recently that resonated with a few followers so I thought it might be a great idea to discuss in further detail this week. I always find it interesting that often times when change is upon us, we become very cognizant of all the outside factors that could potentially hold us back from achieving success, but very rarely do we look inward at the things we can control and allow to get in the way. Essentially, all the nonsense we’ve accumulated

At this point I think it’s safe to say we all know what it is to find strength at some time or another. The moments where you find yourself in that vulnerable state unsure of what to do, where to go, or how to get there. Yet somehow, you always manage to pull yourself up. Fortitude is inherent in all of us, whether we realize it or not. Everyone, strong in their own way. Fighting through the many challenges that arise on the journey of life. If experience proves that we are c

I’ve had the opportunity over the past few days to do a bit of reflecting, on the past month, the past year, life in full. Perhaps it’s the time of year. The recent turn of political events. Or maybe because I know we can’t get to where we want to go if we don’t know where we’ve been. Either way, reflection is a fundamental key to growth. Growth to become better at work, at home, and in life. This past Sunday in particular I came together with a group of friends to reflect on

I am a firm believer in the fundamental truth that no matter where you are in life you should never stop learning. Because once you stop learning you stop growing and well, then you might as well be non-existent. We live in a world where things are ever changing. Technology has surpassed so many of our initial capacities that now almost nothing seems impossible by way of development and implementation. I had the opportunity to attend a brilliant summit this weekend that provi

In a world that is constantly on the go it can be easy to get caught up in all the chaos and non-sense that surrounds us. Running day to day on grit and sometimes even fumes doing what we deem necessary for the day. In order to seemingly accomplish our goals. To get it done. But does getting it done always serve our purpose in the most effective and efficient way? Having lived in New York for 14 years it’s definitely safe to say I’m one of those who gets it done. No matter wh

I recently came across a quote that read “you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”- Jim Rohn Without thinking about it too much, who are those five people in your life? And when you think about them are they who you would most like yourself to reflect. You know that old saying you are the company you keep? Well, it’s true and this is what I would like to focus on this week. We’ve had some time to reflect on the idea of concept and if we now can fu

There’s a saying that goes: Trust the timing of your life. It is something I heard a long time ago that has seemingly stuck with me, for good reason, because as we all know things don’t always go according to plan. No matter how much we outline and set our goals there are always those things we wish would happen that don’t. The things we think we deserve or want that we don’t get, the satisfaction of having it all. But how does keeping this idea or concept in mind really make

Do you remember what your first set of dreams were? You know, what you told people you wanted to be when you grew up way back when. Or what your ideal life looked like. I’m talking your earliest memories… when you were perhaps five or six year old. When your imagination was most likely at its best. Pure and free to create and come up with whatever it could dream. Imagine that you still had that innocence and carefree attitude at the age you are now. Of course as adults we all

Distractions are everywhere. In this day and age it’s almost impossible not to be inundated with the internet, social media, text messages, streaming music, phone calls, videos, etc… Most of us who are under the age of 50 are driven by technology and the vast presence it now has within our lives makes it nearly impossible to operate otherwise. The advancement of the smart phone in the past 10 years has drastically shifted our mindset and way of life in so many ways. We’ve all

For those of you who know me well you know I live by the motto #StayReady, because as the old adage goes…. When you stay ready you don’t have to get ready. My parents instilled this idea within my sister and I from an early age and it’s something that just stuck. It was their mission in life to make sure that we were always prepared for whatever was to come our way. They knew, as adults, that life was full of challenges and obstacles that could potentially stand in the way of
