Suffering Is a Blessing in Wolf's Clothing
What hurts us can help us. Suffering is nature’s way of making you special. The greatest bleed the longest. What I mean by this is that it is actually within the fires of deep difficulty that the dross that covers the gold is burned off. Life loves you so much that it sends you difficulties to make you strong. In the quiet times of my own life’s largest heartbreaks, I retreated from the world [like a wounded animal retreats to the woods for healing]. And I remained in the wilder...

Even the Longest Life is a Short Ride
Life runs fast. It moves swiftly. Time passes quickly. No matter who you are and where you live and what you do, we all end up as not much more than a pile of ashes in a metal urn or as a bunch of bones under six feet of soil. Sorry to be so graphic yet not really so sorry. Because reminding you of your mortality is a powerful way to ensure that you live more urgently [in a world full of so many distractions and trivial diversions that our finest moments are stolen from us like a bandi...

Misunderstood Is the Price of Genius [Insights to Help You Honour Your Process] 7-Minute Episode
Very few habits are as destructive to human happiness as looking at what others have and do—and feeling that you’re inferior. Yet in this world of social media and digital diversion, so many of us are spending the better hours of our best days looking at the lives of others and measuring our success by what we see. Look, we’re tribal and hardwired to fit into the community. Helped us survive on the savanna. It’s normal to watch what others are enjoying and judge yourself against that standard...

How to BANISH Frustration From Your Life
Frustration is the child of stagnation. We are most alive when we are making progress [even micro-progress] in the direction of ideals that excite us. Our spirits take flight when we stand steadfast along the path of the mighty mission and heroic ideals that call out the finest within us. And when we exercise our native creativity to make things that help others, push our craft to the jagged edges of its farthest limits and lean into what frightens us. Winning is sensing the dignity of your l...

Delete Any Association with Naysayers, Dreamstealers, and Critics
The behavior of those we surround ourselves with “primes” the way we will operate. Research confirms that if a student lives with someone who studies seriously, they adopt the same behavior. People who spend time with others who gossip, watch tragic news and consume toxic television begin to behave similarly. The reality is that human beings are hardwired for daily mimicry. So, choose your associations well. If you’d like so much more information like this to keep you focused on your missio...

Read From a Profound Book [to Create Consistently Strong Days]
You’re smart and wise so you know that the leader who learns the most wins. And that reading a book is having a conversation with the author. Personally, reading uplifting words fuels my inspiration dramatically [this ritual also causes your dopamine levels to surge nicely]. We live in a world where very few go deep. We seek informal news in bite-sized chunks and scroll our feeds in hot pursuit of glitter. Before 8AM, sit quietly and read from a great human’s autobiography. Or from a text o...
