The reason you aren’t where you want to be in your life is likely because of your comfort zone. We all need a comfort zone so we’ve got someplace to go when we need a break, that’s completely natural. A comfort zone is a nice place to hang out in, especially when you’re worn down […]
I used to have fearless as one of my foundational words (words to build your life upon). But I don’t believe in fearless anymore. I believe in: fearful but I’m gonna do it anyway and terrified but I refuse to give up on myself and scared out of my mind but I’m gonna see this […]
Boldness You’ve got to commit to yourself. Then you’ve got to step out of your comfort zone and take action in the direction you want (or think you want) to be going. You don’t have to be fearless when you step out, I assure you. All you have to do is trust yourself and take […]
The difference between those who reach what they most want for their lives and those who don’t is simple: it’s commitment. So how do you commit so it sticks? 1. Decide that whatever you’re pursuing matters deeply to you. If something deeply matters to you, that’s reason enough to pursue it. You don’t need permission […]
You will always (always, always) live out what you believe. Your beliefs are what steer your life, so it follows that if you want to change your life, you need to change your beliefs.

You may feel like you’re not ready. You may believe with your whole heart that you’re not ready. You may tell yourself over and over that you’re not ready. Others may tell you that you’re not ready. But here’s the truth: you are ready, right now, as you are. There’s never likely to be a […]
When you don’t trust yourself, you don’t listen to your own intuition and instead you start looking outside yourself for answers. The problem with that is the advice you get will be tailored to fit the person giving it to you and will also be colored by that person’s fears and limitations. And in […]
So from last week’s post, you know your why. But just who are living your life for, taking action for, doing what you do for? Is it for you (because it deeply matters to you or is it an activity you enjoy or is something that nourishes/fulfills you)? Or is it because someone else […]
Most of the time when you quit, I would argue, it’s because you don’t know the reason behind why you do what you do. It’s likely that you started something (even if you were enthusiastic and excited in that moment) not clearly understanding why, or even if, it mattered to you. Maybe it mattered […]
Fear jacks up the cortisol level in your body, which is the same biochemical that gets released when you’re stressed. Thing is: it doesn’t matter whether the fear is real (a threat to your life) or in your head (the story you may be telling yourself); either way your cortisol level rises and stays […]
