The thing that keeps calling you
If you want to know your purpose, pay attention to what stays with you — the ideas you can’t forget, the things you return to even when they’re difficult, the work that refuses to let you go. That’s your soul speaking.” ~ Joseph Campbell

The things nobody sees you carrying
“People cry, not because they are weak. It is because they’ve been strong for too long.” ~ Johnny Depp

Discomfort
Discomfort has a funny way of elongating time. That’s why I recommend it. When you’re comfortable, the days vanish. And so do the years. When you’re in some kind of pain or discomfort, the seconds stretch out to eternity. Somehow time gives you more space. Run through the pain in your lungs. Embrace the quiet…

The deal nobody tells you about
“The truth is, life is hard, but it’s also beautiful. You don’t get one without the other, and the lesson is to hold them both — to let the beauty soften the struggle, and let the struggle deepen your appreciation of the beauty.” ~ Gregory Peck

What matters most is to focus on what matters most

Be careful what you normalize.
Normalized exhaustion becomes your life. Normalized junk food becomes your body. Normalized distraction becomes your attention span. Normalized negativity becomes your mindset. Normalized not calling people becomes loneliness. Most lives are not destroyed dramatically. They drift. Quietly. Repeatedly. One small habit at a time. The good news is that life improves the same way. A…

I saw something recently that I cannot stop thinking about.
A father was pushing his young daughter on a swing. Nothing unusual. You have seen it a thousand times. Back and forth. Back and forth. The little girl was laughing. The father was smiling. Then it hit me. The father knew something the little girl did not. He knew this moment was temporary. He knew…

Don’t let life slip by unnoticed
There is a day in your future when somebody will say your name for the last time. Not dramatically. Not in a movie scene. Just casually. In conversation. A memory. A photograph. A story that begins with: “I knew them.” Strange thing to think about. But important. Human beings live as though life is happening…

Find what you love doing
In the end, if I could give you one bit of advice, it would be to find what you love and do it as well as you can. Pursue your dream… and even if you never catch it, you’ll enjoy the chase.” ~ Michael Caine

We don’t need more time. We need more honesty
The strange sadness of “someday” Human beings love the word “someday.” Someday I’ll get fit. Someday I’ll start the business. Someday I’ll travel. Someday I’ll spend more time with my family. Someday I’ll relax. Someday I’ll be happy. Human beings treat “someday” like it’s a real place. Like there’s a magical island somewhere filled with…

When you’re humble life keeps teaching you
If you’re lucky you’ll understand something before it’s too late: Pride closes doors. It can waste years of your life. Because a proud person stops listening. Stops growing. Humility is the path to growth. It says: “I might be wrong.” “I still have things to learn.” People waste years pretending. Pretending to know. Pretending not…

You think you have time.
That is one of life’s strangest tricks. When we are young, a year feels enormous. Summer feels endless. Christmas takes forever to arrive. Birthdays move slowly. Life feels like standing at the bottom of a mountain looking up. There is so much ahead. So much time. Then something changes. Years start moving differently. You finish…
