Oh my gosh—when I make a million dollars, I'm going to be, I'm going to feel secure; I'm going to feel like I've finally made it, you know? No, No- when I find that perfect person…then I'll really feel happy, you know? No, but when I lose that 5 pounds, you know that 5 pounds you just can't get rid of? I'll love my body then…I'll totally love my body then. GUYS! We base our happiness on this future someday that doesn't exist. It's like our happiness is on layaway….what's that about? Meanwhile, we're standing in a present moment that, 5 years ago, we said would make us happy; but yet we're looking ahead and saying THAT will make us happy. So will we ever truly be satisfied? Think about it, as kids we can't wait to be teenagers, as teenagers: "Oh my gosh…I can't WAIT to be an adult!" As an adult: "I can't wait for the perfect job, the perfect spouse, the perfect paycheck, the perfect house." And THEN I get all of that and I'm like: "uhhhhh I just can't wait to get rid of this job and retire, and THEN I'll final

Are you all in or are you just talking about it? Are you still complaining that there's not enough time in the day or my circumstances aren't right or, you know, "I just can't find the time." I've got news for you. We all have the same 24 hours in a day and that includes the most successful people on the planet. I don't hear them complaining that there's no time. They just keep creating and putting forth greatness. "But it's hard." Yes, I know it's hard. That's why there are so few people up at the top. Greatness is not about the amount of money you have, it's not about the skills you have, the talent, the know-how. It's about how much hunger and hustle you have. Don't feel like it today? Don't worry there's someone out there who does and they aren't afraid to go get it. You see, greatness is all about being willing to do what others are not. Being willing to do what others are not. Being hungry when others are full. Being up when others are sleeping. Doing what others aren't willing to do. So are you all in?

In order to fly we must be willing to leave the ground we are standing on. In order to soar, we have to be willing to let go. In order to catch the view, we must be willing to climb to the top. You see, that feeling of flying, is like being in love. That view, is living your passion. I know it's scary. Climbing this high. Letting go and soaring. But what if you never do? What if you never get to catch this? What if you never see what life is like from up here? What if? See, in love, when you fully let go and you release your fears, you release your connections to your past, you release the feeling of being afraid, and what if he doesn't feel the same, what if she doesn't respond the way I want her to. When you let go… you give the other person permission to let go too. And what that means, is that you've got two people , up here, catching this view, living life from this height, soaring in a way that feels free. And with your passion, when you truly dive in, say "I'm all in. I'm letting go. This is it. There

Ah, look at this. Seriously, look at this. Nature never makes a repeat, you know it only makes a masterpiece. And I know with our technology and our manufactured clothes we tend to forget that we too are nature. It's true. It's crazy but it's true. And nature is always in this process of perfectly unfolding and revealing its purpose. So we are always in this process of perfectly unfolding and revealing our purpose. So wherever you think are, you are just beginning. Wherever you think you'll be, you're thinking too small. You see, God got you right the first time. There are 7 billion people on this planet all with distinct fingerprints. And just like our physical fingerprints we all have soul fingerprints as well. So we all have a different, distinct reason for being. And nature never compares itself to one another because there's no reason to. A tree doesn't look at a bird and say "Man, I wish I could fly." A fox does not look at a fish and say "Gosh, some shiny scales would be pretty sexy on me." NO! Foxes a

People, they be prayin'. People pray for all sorts of things. A better home. A better lover. Better relationships. Better finances. More stuff! People be praying for!!! But man, that sets us up for failure every single time. Cause It's not praying FOR that has a winning, it's praying FROM that has us winning. Prayer is not about changing our circumstances, it's about changing ourselves; about being willing to grow into our circumstances; grow into our higher self so we can see it from God's eyes, see it from our highest self. You see, as human beings it's just innate. We've got this small, limited perception. So we pray for things from our small, limited perception. But you see, the Universe is unlimited. The Universe is infinite. So why limit the limitless Universe with our small askings? Why say "I want this person to be in my life" when the Universe might have bigger plans for you? Your life is your prayer. How you live is what you'll attract. So don't pray for what you think you need to be happy. Pray fro

6 human needs. Significance.Certainty. Uncertainty Love or connection. Growth and Contribution. So they say that we kind of fluctuate between all 6 but we choose to focus on 1 or 2 and make those our driving force in life. So they say certainty is like the biggest one. Most people operated from Certainty because that's like our basic survival. I need to know that I'm okay, that I'll be taken care of, that I'm secure. And they say the second most popular one is Significance. I need to feel seen. I need to feel heard. I need to know that my life matters, that I matter, that I mean something to someone. Significance. When I figured this out, I realized that significance was driving my entire life. The relationships I was in were all about feeling significance. My intellect was all about feeling more significant. My jobs, my accomplishments, more and more significance. And the biggest excuse I had was, when I have a enough significance, when I have a big enough platform,when I have enough money, when I have enoug

The constant state of flux that everything without exception is subject to. Think about it. Every relationship that you've ever been in. Whether it is a family, a friend, or a loved one, it's always changing. It's always evolving. The world as we know it is constantly changing. Technology is always changing, (too fast for my pocket). But things are always changing, especially humanity. Look at the process from birth to death. It's a constant evolution, a constant cycle of impermanence. Impermanence is a main principle of Buddhism and it goes hand-and-hand with another main principle of Buddhism which is Unattachment. So the Buddha taught that if we attach to something, it is the root cause of all suffering. WHY? Because if we attach to something the way it is right now, right there, alright, if I attached to someone or something that is the way it is and I'm attached to it being that way, that thing or that person is always in a constant state of flux, is always evolving, is always changing. And the minute th

It's not our circumstance. It's our mental stance. Two girls. Same circumstances. Both grew up young, poor. Both had single moms. Bothsexually molested at a young age. Both have the World against them. One girl grew up and continued to live those circumstances as a victim day in and day out. The other girl grew up and became known to the world as Oprah Winfrey. The economy, education, your boss, your family, your significant other, the media, your ex. It's not their fault. You see our circumstances are just our circumstances. It's all that we have to work with. They are our tools that have been given to us for us to decide what to do with them. It's like someone handing me a hammer for me to hang a beautiful picture up on the wall, and I use it to beat myself up with. These are our tools. You see it's not about our resources or lack there of, It's about how resourceful we are. It's about where our mind goes when we feel the weight of our circumstances, when we feel the weight of the resources, or the scarcity

A 400 ton piece of metal flying through the sky You smiling and waving at grandma while she's 3000 miles away, in real time. Then, you hop in your car, it's air conditioned, you pop on 1 of 10,000 songs on your iPod, get a call from Mom, which you take hands-free on your bluetooth while you head to a movie that's about to project millions of light and sound waves straight to your brain. Smart Phones, the internet, Email, living until you're 127 years old, the 4 minute mile, telephones, television, on demand everything…you watching me right now; at one point, we could've never imagined this. At one point, it was said TO BE IMPOSSIBLE, IT CAN NEVER BE DONE. But someone did it. Someone said YES IT CAN and YES I WILL. They resisted the doubt, they resisted the NO'S and NEVER'S and they persisted with YES and WHY NOT? Without those people of persistence…where would we be in the world? What would the world look like? But there is a good thing that happened: see, within each of us, we know better. Underneath that la

Do you hear that?? Your CALLING is calling. It's asking you to step into your purpose, to live and breathe your mission, to dare to do what your soul knows it HAS to. It's calling you to move into your fears so you can move past them, break down your old stories so you can rewrite a masterpiece. It is asking you to be so hungry with ambition, that you become unstoppable at serving the world. It's calling you to be bold enough to hear it, to be daring enough to consider it, and humble enough to receive it. It's been there….deep inside of you…waiting for you to answer the call. Will you bring it forth?
