“Wealth, notoriety, place, & power are no measures of success whatsoever.
The only true measure of success is the ratio between what we might have been & what we have become.” ~ H.G. Wells
Your purpose is born out of your frustration or your pain.
For me it was both…20 years apart.
If you don’t know what you want in Life, you’re not alone.

Don’t judge a season of your life by the title you held. Judge it by the skills you left with.
What skill are you most grateful for today that came from a job you once thought was going nowhere? 🗣️👇
You don’t need unlimited understanding. You need complete commitment to the understanding you already have—and the discipline to keep expanding it one organized insight at a time.

I’d rather be well-lived than well-read.
A person can read 100 books a year and still live a very narrow life.
They can quote philosophers, leaders, experts, & psychologists.
Yet never leave their routine.
Never be fascinated.
You’re probably not failing because you lack talent.
You’re failing because you lack tenacity.
Tenacity is like a ball underwater. You can push it down, suppress it, and hold it back—but it refuses to stay there.
The moment you let go, it rises again.
Be the ball.
The older I get, the more I think success has less to do with adding things and more to do with eliminating contradictions.
When your words, actions, priorities, relationships, work, and ambitions stop fighting each other, an enormous amount of energy becomes available.
