Ask yourself this simple question: “What do I like most about taking a vacation?” Chances are you thought of something specific. A specific trip you took. Specific food you ate, thing you saw, person you visited. I’d say that’s typical. But regardless of what you chose, it all really boils down to one thing. You [...]
We all like quotes – I’m no different. There’s an immediate gratification if you read a quote and it speaks to you. Like for a brief moment, our lives have changed thanks to those few words. Unfortunately, most quotes I read may speak to me in that moment but are easily forgotten the next time [...]
At some point in our lives (some of us for the majority of the time) we are all searching for ultimate happiness. We look for it in people, things, places, experiences, growth, learning, new things, old things, nostalgia, daunting tasks, easy tasks, just about everything. And although there are religions, physical exercises, mental exercises and [...]
This is by far the biggest challenge I deal with on a daily basis. When you’re faced with a tough decision and your heart tells you one thing but then your head butts in and tells you the complete opposite. It’s basically emotional vs. rational. Most of my life (and I assume a lot of [...]
Let’s all face it. Right here and now. Probably the single most driving factor behind all of our fears in life has to do with us feeling inadequate.

There’s been one specific thing in the past couple of years that I’ve seen time and time again that’s really bothered me. I’ve seen it in everyone. My friends, my family, absolute strangers, Obama, bloggers, and yes – even myself. And what bothers me the most about it isn’t the fact that it’s happening. It’s [...]
This is no joke. Every time I find myself not living the life my ideal self would, I go to this person. And every time, they jolt me back to my ideal self once again. It never fails. But before I introduce them , I want you to take a second and put together a mental list [...]
I decided to do a “vlog” post today. Something I don’t normally do but it was kind of fun. Although, I noticed I tend to ramble a bit more than in my writings. Anyway, check out the video below when you have about 9 minutes to spare. I know it’s long, but I think it’ll [...]
This is a short post. Purposeful and to the point because – well, it’s how life should be. What are you living your life for? Be honest with yourself. What is the #1 reason you are in existence and living the way you are? Most of us are working toward something. Some of us are [...]
