Free Yourself

“When you let go, you create space for something better.” —Anonymous

Be willing to let go of the past, including yesterday, or even the week or month before.

Free yourself.

You can’t move on until you are intentional about clearing the path to your future.

Growing Gains

“There are no mistakes, only opportunities.” -Tina Fey

Instead of asking, “How could this happen?”, we should become accustomed to asking, “How can I grow from this?”

Mistakes are a part of life. Embrace them and move on.

Define Success

“The results eventually show up, never give up. Stay positive every day of the week.” —Unknown

Big success is often disguised as the small actions you take each day.

It may not happen overnight, but it can happen one step at a time.

How will you define success?

My Life’s Song

“Sometimes when words fail, music speaks.” —Shakespeare

Life takes your heart and mind on many adventures.

During the epic highs and the record lows, the music is in your heart, even when you don’t realize it.

Are You Busy or Productive?

“Saying no to the wrong things creates space to say yes to the right things.” —Mack Story

We often get caught up in the idea of being busy. But busying yourself doesn’t always translate to productivity.

If you don’t have time for what really matters, it’s time to downsize your to do list and rethink your priorities!

Don’t allow life to lure you into the busy trap.

Focus on what matters.

From Pain to Purpose to Peace

“True strength is keeping everything together when everyone expects you to fall apart.” —Unknown

The last few weeks have been incredibly difficult for me and my family. We’ve endured 3 separate tragedies in three weeks. We lost 2 cousins and a brother in law.

The pain is real. The unknowns and unanswered questions; absolute madness.

I don’t usually share my personal experiences in this platform, but the reality I’m living is not uncommon. We’ve all experienced the reality of pain and heartache.

Life is hard.

Life is beautiful.

Life is beautiful and hard at the same time.

We must be willing to grab hold of the beauty and grow from the tragedy.

Transitioning from deep pain to profound purpose may feel impossible, but it’s not.

It may be the most challenging thing you’ve ever endured. But peace is on the other side of your pain.

Allow purpose to lead you to the other side. Allow it to lead you to your peace.

No Regrets

“Regrets will consume your life.”—Unknown

Adversity rattles the heart.

Tragedy opens the eyes.

Loss shatters the soul.

“What if’s” breed the deepest regrets.

The perfect time or opportunity may never come. Just do it.

Whatever “it” is…

Be bold, be brave.

Do it now. Do it afraid.

“We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.” —Rick Warren

Life is a lesson and failure is its teacher.

The past is the past. Learn from it and let it go.

Your world will be much brighter and your load, much lighter.

Do It Afraid

“The beautiful thing about fear is this, when you run to it, it runs away.” —Robin Sharma

You have everything within you to change the course of your life. If you’re in a place of discontentment, crippled by fear, you have what it takes to change the narrative. YOU hold the power to re-write your story.

Life is what you make it.

Fear is only powerful if you surrender to it.
