We’ve all said it before, and maybe we even believed it. But whatever comes after “I can’t” is pure malarkey. Sure you can. The only question is: are you willing to do what it takes?

Do you consider yourself to be non-violent, like Martin Luther King, Jr and his mentor, Gandhi? I thought I did, until I learned the criteria:

You recognize that evildoers are also victims and not inherently evil people. The nonviolent resister see

King’s full quote is even more profound, and so true: “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in t

The quickest way to tell that someone is avoiding or ignoring their calling is when they have something negative to say about people who are. When someone is deeply immersed in their calling, they haven’t the time nor the inclination to critici

Living your dream is much easier said than done. Once you get just a few steps outside of your status quo, you’ll quickly learn that ALL of society is geared toward people like you NOT following their dreams. There are zero guarantees that you&

In high school I got a “D” in English literature and almost didn’t graduate that year. The reason was because I found reading literature soooo boring. Then one day the teacher assigned Native Son by Richard Wright, and I couldn&rsqu

If you have no idea what’s going on or how you ended up wherever you are, welcome to the club. The truth is, none of us can really know what’s going on by looking at whatever’s happening at the surface. It’s not until after th

Does accomplishing a series of goals make you a successful person? Is it following your heart? Maintaining good health? Being of service? Fulfilling your purpose? All of the above?

How we define success will dictate what we prioritize on a day to d

#1: MINDSET - people who succeed understand that no one is more capable than they are of succeeding, and that the non-linear road is likely to be three times as long and four times as expensive as it seems in the beginning.

I'm not gonna lie—being a nomad means spending a lot of time on your own. And when you add being a writer on top of that, you're really spending a lot of time alone. And when you add being sober on top of that, and prioritizing things like

About 10 minutes after meeting my meditation teacher, I knew deep in my soul that I was destined to become a meditation teacher myself.

But, at the time (2003) there was no clear path to teaching meditation. So I just kept saying "yes" wh

If you play your cards right, every day can be like New Year’s Day. And you don’t have to quit your job or break up with anyone... the key is breaking routines: meaning, do the little things a little differently on a daily basis.

I’m not anti-money. I’m pro-happiness. I’ve studied what makes people happy and while it’s important to have your basic needs met, statistically speaking, after that, money has very little impact on your happiness when self-as

Thinking ahead for 2020? Making plans? Envisioning what I want to create for the years and decades ahead? Nope. Just waiting on my falafel. For me, this year is about being more present. About anchoring myself in the small in-between moments. Like @b

Most people aren’t being themselves. They think they are, but what’s really happening is they are being the accommodating version of themselves, or the overly-polite version, or the top-cool-for-school version—then there’s the
