Someone recently said the following which I’ve been mulling over for the past few days: “In big cities like NYC or London you can’t ever live your best life. Fancy dinners? Too expensive! Rent, crazy expensive! Fun date night at a play or opera? Too expensive! You have to have a ton of money to...

I’m currently having a euphoric feeling of what I can only describe as ‘perfect life’. I’m happily sitting at an outside garden patio table at a co-working space in Costa Rica. Mentally I have clarity on where I want to take my career in the future. I worked out this morning so my body has...

I’m infuriated thinking back to all the time I’ve spent aimlessly scrolling on Facebook’s news feed, or any social media feed for that matter. These are completely impulsive time wasting activities that give us instant gratification and nothing more. In fact one could argue in our ego driven...

This post is entirely from my perspective as it’s the only perspective I can provide on internal clutter. Often I’ve muttered to myself “you are smart enough to know what to do, but dumb enough to not take action.” Where our focus goes our energy flows, or lack thereof. I can bring this post...

One common thread of successful people seems to be they all have some sort of morning routine. Whether it be exercise, a mindfulness practice, or simply reading a newspaper, every person has something that stimulants their brain.
