I think most of us take life far too seriously. We’ve gotten tricked into thinking in terms of right and wrong, good and bad, yours, mine, and all the other scarcity thoughts that rob us of the joy of living. I used to be that way. I was so much older then; I’m younger than […]

As children, we loved to play games; sometimes we won, sometimes we lost, but the joy came from playing the game. As we grew, we started taking the losses personally, or we got hurt, so we stopped playing. Let’s rekindle our enthusiasm for the game of life! Stay in the game! Listen as I explain: […]

Much of my life has been a progressive apocalypse. The word “apocalypse” actually means “to uncover or reveal.” Life often teaches us to believe things that aren’t true. When we discover this and learn what is true, what always was true, it can feel like the end of the world. Listen as I explain: Subscribe: Apple […]

Not all who wander are lost. Most coaching around achieving goals is about having a laser focus so nothing distracts you from the goal. I don’t teach this. Life isn’t about laser focus, it’s about enjoying as much as we possibly can, it’s about wandering toward our goals. Listen as I explain: Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Amazon […]

We are all on a path of life, a labyrinth, not a maze. Mazes have hard blocks, wrong turns, and it’s possible to get stuck and lost in a maze. A labyrinth is a continuously flowing path with no wrong turns. When we start to see life from this perspective, we can learn to trust […]

I’ve read a lot of books on marriage and relationships. I can honestly say The Go-Giver Marriage by John David Mann and Ana Gabriel Mann is, by far, the best. Written as a beautiful parable (with a refreshingly practical “how-to” section), the story captivated and brought me to tears of joy and inspiration. I had […]

Do you have a “winning” mindset? Do you play to win? I’m not talking about a “competitive” mindset. Just the opposite. Competition is about beating an opponent or being better than someone. A winning mindset is about loving what you do and enjoying the process of playing the game of life. Listen as I explain: […]

Many of us teach that the only thing that is really real is this present moment, not the past, nor the future. While this is true, it’s not completely true. Whatever you are actively thinking about, past or future, IS real in this moment right now. So think about an awesome future and feel awesome […]
