One Way to Understand People Who Have Hurt You

Titans really do see what we all see, yet think what few dare. They avoid the attraction to copying. Such individuals are profoundly imaginative, dreaming up extraordinary plans for new enterprises that disrupt existing enterprises and deliver fresh benefits to millions of consumers. They know that unless they are being called crazy a lot, they are not dreaming big enough. And they pretty much couldn’t care less about the disapproval of others. If you’d like so much more information lik...

Genius is less about genetics and more about the quality of your daily habits. And may I suggest that if you’re not deepening world-class habits you’re getting brilliant at practicing bad ones. I suggest—with vast encouragement —that you commit to the daily nature walk protocol beginning this New Year. This form of “active recovery” allows your brain to create connections and solve big problems, without you even knowing it. Long restorative walking is an activity used by m...

One must—from time to time—slow down and reflect on: what truly makes life great? Based on the inspiring lives of those who have found real happiness, true self-respect and a serenity beyond the bounds of reason. One of the top answers, to me, would be: wisdom.

It’s a messy, busy and hyper-distracted world we live in. Yet, to squander your finest hours on meaningless things is to dishonor your genius. And waste your promise. At a time when the majority are suffering from Broken Focus Syndrome, the true titans have developed the magnificent ability to concentrate almost completely on the near-flawless execution of the few projects that will make their ethical ambitions real. They stay with their high-value targets through the storms of criticism, ...

Often, we start to install a new habit and then quickly retreat at the first sign of discomfort. But please remember that our growth—and mastery—is built around our discomfort, not our ease.

As kids we had real needs. And when those needs (appreciation, validation, listening, approval, for example) were not met by our caregivers, they set up a series of suppressed unmet needs.

As human beings, it’s ever so easy to sit on the summit of high-judgement and self-righteousness on seeing another human being doing something we consider wrong. Yet, as we spend more time in meditation, reflection and awareness building, we often and generally realize we do the same thing. Fascinating, yes?

The Prophet by Kalhil Gibran just might be my favorite book. ...It’s hard to say, really. I love so many books... ...like Jonathan Livingston's Seagull. ...like Man’s Search for Meaning. ...like Long Walk to Freedom. Yet The Prophet is so very special to me... During the Winters of my life it has consoled me. Amid the Summers of my journey it has inspired me. If you’d like to learn the tools, habits and daily routines of warriors, billionaires, sages and superstars then read (or listen...
