I'm all about keeping life simple. I'm a bipolar creative with a knack for personal development. I geek out on productivity, minimalism, and enjoying life.

Today is a perfect example of why I'll never build a business on a platform I don't own.

Email marketing is the only platform worth investing in.

Are you afraid of saying no because you think you’ll miss out on a big opportunity?

Here's what Grace Bonney had to say on the power of saying no. @designsponge

The world is a better place when you’re working on things you love.

Improving ourselves doesn't require 'doing' anything.

All that's required is letting go of habitual patterns of thought and behaviour.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

When we're unable to change a situation, can we change our approach so the experience itself is altered in some way?

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

Emotions help us understand thoughts.

Thoughts help us understand the limits of thinking.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

When we meditate we may feel alone.

But in the absence of distraction, we're arguably more connected with the world than any other time.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

When we pause, we reconnect to ourselves, to others, to nature, to the world around us.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

How could you make creativity part of your life today?

A meal you cook.

An idea you read and try out in your life.

A podcast that makes you think differently.

Get creative with creativity.

New blog up: Are You Facing A Tough Decision? This One Is For You. https://t.co/jDnq0c65WA Starting again can often feel like a failure. Yet if we think about what we're really after; are we ever really starting over again if we're taking lessons away from an experience?

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

Let your thoughts and feelings come and go without trying to control them.

Bring your mind back to the moment.

Rinse and repeat.

It gets easier every time we break the pattern.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

To discover a sense of purpose, to act on it with good intent, and a kind heart, free from expectation, is to live a happy and content life.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

Why do I meditate every day?

It helps me build a strong foundation for knowing how I think and feel, with both the body and mind.

Life is easier when you have a sense of why you're thinking and feeling the way you do.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

Bruce Lee said, "If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done."

Put simply: have a bias to action.

Most of us are not doing things that will kill us if we get them wrong.

But you will end up years behind where you could be if you do nothing.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

There's nothing complicated or mystical about awareness.

"People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are." - Steve Jobs

This is single most important tool you can adopt as an entrepreneur.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

Does what you're doing right now fill you with energy or drain you of energy?

Time management is overrated.

Be far more concerned with energy management.

You can always come back to a task.

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

"It doesn’t get any less scary. All that happens is that you have less life left. It helps if you do your falling early, and it really helps if you do your reaching early." - Mary H.K. Choi

[Chris Wilson @CJWilson]

How about making time for one fun thing today to boost your energy?

I'm going to take a walk and grab a coffee (and a 🍩).
