To me, work is not only a worldly pursuit but also a spiritual one. There are a lot of people saying that we shouldn’t make work our obsession. On this, I agree and for years and years I’ve been sharing the message that peak performance without deep renewal leads to an empty well (and a miserable life). I’ve never subscribed to the “hustle and grind” philosophy that makes us feel guilty if we’re not working 24/7/365 and though I’ve done my best to inspire my readers and clients to aim for le...

Bravery speaks to, well, being brave. Leaning into the places that terrify you. Hugging your monsters and slaying your dragons and exploring your shadows. The real stuff of a gorgeous life.

The nature of beautiful, honest and inventive work is to cause people to have STRONG opinions. Some will love you. And some will throw rocks at you, for what you’ve made. Your job is to stand steady. Knowing you’ve acted with artistic integrity and done your best—along with taking the rocks of the critics and using them to build monuments of mastery that stand as testimony to your creativity. Oh—and the more violent the opposition to your work, the more you know you’re pushing and...

Recently I was fed a short video where the influencer yelled “Put yourself first or else you’re a loser that will be taken advantage of. Look—and I’d like to be clear—the great thing about a human life is we each get to have our own opinions. And I respect the right to have free speech very much. Yet, I just see the world ever so differently from so many. I guess you do too. That’s why we vibe, right? A strong, wise, great human being is one who cares deeply about the welfare of others....

The highest impact leaders all have one trait in common: they are extreme contrarians. They were seen by the majority as radicals, misfits and eccentrics. They saw what most see and thought what few think. They rejected the mass hypnosis and schooled brainwashing of society. That says that geniuses are cut from a different cloth, that your ethical ambitions should be suppressed and that your life needs to be reasonable. Makes me think of the words of George Bernard Shaw who wrote: “The...

The way most people work is from an ancient age. The idea that working longer and harder makes you more productive and better is outdated. For creative professionals versus manual laborers, you get rewarded—not by the length of time you put in but by the degree of mastery that you put out. As a matter of fact, for those in industries that must deliver world-class artistry, working more often produces less. Because we don’t get the time to contemplate and study and allow beautiful new ideas to...
