Misunderstood is the Price Ambition Pays to Become Legendary

Let me gently remind you of a truth that too many good souls are forgetting: distraction is the enemy of mastery. The giants of history—from Leonardo da Vinci to Mahatma Gandhi to Hedy Lamarr—were not people who dabbled. They were people who focused. Monomaniacally. They carved out sacred spaces of solitude and isolation to produce their masterwork. They honored their craft with the fullness of their presence. My latest book “The Wealth Money Can’t Buy” is full of fresh ideas and origi...

We have been programmed to play small. To live within the box society has handcrafted for us. To think, be and do like everyone else. Sad. Scary. This causes heartbreak. We forget all we truly are.

Real leaders and the best among us meet challenge—and rise into their primal bigness. Yes, they feel scared or insecure or confused. Yet, they continue, underst...

Being authentic means daring to voice your thoughts and beliefs, even when they challenge the status quo. It’s about recognizing that your perspective is valid and valuable. When you speak your truth (even if your voice shakes), you not only empower yourself but also inspire others to do the same. Each time you choose honesty over approval from others, you create a cascading effect of authenticity, encouraging those around you to step into their own light. This is what ...

Bravery is not the absence of fear; it is the willingness to act despite it. You’ve heard that a million times. And so have I. Because it’s the truth. Every courageous step you take toward authenticity opens new doors and possibilities. Imagine standing at the edge of your comfort zone, heart racing, yet knowing that the most profound growth lies just beyond that threshold. It’s true: all you have ever wished to be is waiting for you on the other side of your greatest fears. My latest...

Worldly success without peace of mind is fool’s gold, yes? I know many celebrities who you would think have it all and yet, in reality, have nothing. Because they lack serenity. [What a great and gorgeous word: “serenity”]. I’m sure you’ll agree that there’s no point in having lots of things and fame + fortune yet losing the quiet that lives at your core along the way. This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning...
