I keep this picture nearby at all times. I know it's kind of just a cheesy meme, but it serves an important purpose for me.
It reminds me to pay attention to what actually matters. It reminds me to say yes to my kids more. It reminds me that at the end of my life I'm not going to care how many grains of sand in my hourglass I spent on business or work or anything like that.
All that will matter at the end is your memories, and the way you impacted the people you love.
Two years ago, I launched "Mindfulness without the Bells and Beads" to make mindfulness accessible and transform lives. I'm grateful for the support and the incredible stories of growth, performance, and leadership. Join me in celebrating and continue unlocking your potential!
"The most fundamental aggression to ourselves, the most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves, is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently." - Pema Chodron
A mind that is easily overhwlemed by emotion, that is rooted in the past instead of the present, that cannot see the world with clarity and urgency, will create strategies that will always miss the mark.
Your career is not meant to be straightforward.
There will be moments when you question whether you love what you do.
You will experiment with new things that might lead you to a whole new life.
You will unlearn and relearn all your skills as the world changes.
Stay flexible.

Don't ask, don't get. Sometimes all it takes is merely asking for what you want. Whether it's a raise, an opportunity to lead, a review, or something you'd love your partner to do, overcoming the fear of rejection or limiting belief you don't deserve what you want is a key step.
If you “don’t have time” to do the things that would keep you healthy, just focus on not doing the things that make you unhealthy.
Don’t smoke
Don’t eat junk food
Don’t scroll social media
Don’t drink sugary drinks or alcohol
Sometimes stopping is the way forward
