A Powerful Passage from Meditations by Marcus Aurelius

It’s January. And with respect, I’d like to ask you “what will you do about it?” The way you start this year is of MAJOR importance to the way it unfolds. Will you make this year a repeat of last year or will you exercise the audacity, bravery and mastery to massively upgrade your life in 2023? The subtle truth is that you have been blessed with a fresh year. The past is no longer real. So let it go. It will not serve your rise. All that matters is today. For what you do ove...

There’s great value in getting good at saying no. Success often has more to do with what you don't do versus what you do do. Know your priorities. Know your goals. Know what needs to get done over the coming weeks, months, and year for you to feel that you played your best game as a human being. And then say no to everything else. It’ll help you identify what truly counts. So you can strip out the trivialities. And lead your most majestic life. Beginning (hopefully) today. Beca...

Getting the championship ring isn’t the ending but the beginning of a dynasty. Fight irrelevance daily by the relentless optimization mentality. What makes a true champion in business and in life is the strength at which you end your event (whether that event is today or a client meeting or a key project that you've been working months to deliver on). Finish brilliantly! [I explain my entire creative and productive process in my #1 bestseller The Everyday Hero Manifesto; definitely get your...

You and I live in an era where The Culture of Comparison prevails. Remember that often what you see on social media feeds doesn’t represent reality. The photos are filtered and the vacations are comp'd and the parties are soulless. Who knows what private struggles and hidden demons those that are placed on pedestals are dealing with. Their lives are none of your business. Cherish all that you’ve achieved and done. Appreciate what the wins and losses of your life have made you into. And kno...

You CAN make 2023 the single greatest year of your life yet. The question really is, WILL you? Yes—all the suffering is sad. Yet we dishonor the world and degrade our genius when we use this time watching the news, escaping into distraction and medicating ourselves with diversion. Definitely use this year to step into the possibility, bigness and mastery the best within you is craving to see. I also suggest that you use any fear surfacing to heal, grow and strengthen yourself. Hard times ...

Encode the weekly ritual of a nature walk. 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 many of the world’s most heroic humans including Churchill, Charles Dickens, Steve Jobs and Madame Curie. Nature is a gorgeous purifier. Toxic people don't transform the world. I explain my entire weekly planning process in my latest book The Everyday Hero Mani...
