Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard this phrase over the course of my life. I’m sure it’s something very familiar to you as well. Yet how many times in a day, week, month, and year do you find yourself saying “Oh I’ll get to it later”. And when later rolls around, we still find all the reasons to avoid, evade, and bypass taking action. The seemingly adapted notion, as a society, that time is boundless, endless, and everl

I’ve talked about finding breath before and how crucial it is in the quest for peace and simply being. This past weekend I settled into group meditation for a few hours focused on ones connection to their breath and it proved to be a truly transformative experience. The ability to connect with myself in a personal, reflective, unassuming way grounding my spirit to my foundation that we deeply discussed last week. As I embarked on the morning slowly waking up, shaking off the

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

As much as we are taught to be independent, think for ourselves, do for ourselves, be ourselves it doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t encourage and implore the idea of collaboration within our lives. If there is one thing in life I know, it is that no one gets anywhere alone. Community is a key factor in creating a full and purposeful life. Without it, it’s nearly impossible to cover the necessary ground to move forward. As the NYC marathon approaches this weekend I’ve been doing

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

Last week we discussed what I believe to be one of the most crucial points of living your best life which is quality over quantity and while reflecting on that idea something that kept coming to mind for me was balance. In discussing the idea of being careful of what we say yes to, I believe it is important to touch on how to find and/or create balance within your life. Our lives are meant to be dynamic so there are guaranteed to be many components that make up who we are. Wo

In one of my more recent posts I made reference to the idea of being busy doing nothing. And although this isn’t an ideal feeling or state to be in I think it is safe to say that we have all been there at some point or another in our lives. Like myself, I think most people like to make others happy by being fairly agreeable or somewhat passive when it comes to doing things. It can be argued that people like us better when we say “yes” and we can be seen as more of a “team pla

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

I’ve done a lot of talking about the act of doing in the last few weeks… setting Goals, making them S.M.A.R.T., stretching beyond your normal limits, designing accountability, etc… As important as those elements are toward becoming the best version of yourself the state which you are living is just as important. I like to think of this as your energy. Similar to the energy that it takes for electricity to power things up, cars to run, we as people carry around and are fueled
