Today I’m 29 years old. The last 29 years of my life have been nothing short of exciting, demoralizing, enthralling, boring, and everything in between. Which to me means I’m living a pretty damn good life. Reflecting on where I’m at in my life, I’ve realized a key ingredient to a live I love: beingContinue reading “My birthday gift”

Content
Our lives have become a collections of moments that turn into content for other’a entertainment. Rather than a collection of moments we fully enjoy and appreciate for ourselves. A life.
Preparation
My life began to significantly change for the better as my preparation increased. Confidence comes knowing you’ve done everything you can to put yourself in the best position ever. If you show up with no preparation, you’ve already lost. If you’re stuck and not sure what to do, prepare more. I used to not haveContinue reading “Preparation”
Put down the self help books

What does success mean to you? How do you know if you’re successful? What things do you need to do to become successful? What are the things getting in your way of doing the things you need to do to become successful (woah…that was hard to type)?
Forecasting
We as humans are terrible at forecasting. Forecasting what life will be like in the future. Or more importantly how we’ll feel about life in the future. We chase money, experiences, and people because we believe those things will give us ‘something.’ We envision life a certain way, but how often are those things true?Continue reading “Forecasting”
