“And You Keep Your Sense of Purpose.”


Above all you keep your clarity

You keep your focus

You keep your sense of love
And you keep your sense of purpose

Those are, they're integral
You know, they're key

Happiness

You know, um a lot of people define success differently

You know for me

You can have everything

You could have all the money in the world

But if it's not enjoyable, if it's not sustainable, you know
If you can't be a person of integrity while having all these things

What does it matter?
What does it mean?
The value is internal

Your value is internal

Hey Lauryn Hill, Ditto and thank you!

"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”

“Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve” - Napoleon Hill Have you ever read Think and Grow Rich ?  I strongly recommend it. It’s not my favorite book by Hill, but it will change your life...forever.  This is about having a Positive Mental Attitude. Success and progress towards achieving your goals in life begin with knowing where you are going.  Your mental attitude gives power to EVERYTHING YOU DO.   If your attitude is positive, your actions and thoughts further your ends.  If your attitude is negative, you are constantly undermining your own efforts.  Every adversity, every failure, and every unpleasant experience carries with it the seed of an equivalent benefit which may prove to be a blessing in disguise.  All of our successes and failures are results of habits we have formed.   Success attracts success and failure attracts more failure. Your mental attitude is the onl...

Be Radically Open-minded and Radically Transparent

“Be radically open-minded and radically transparent. None of us is born knowing what is true; we either have to discover what’s true for ourselves or believe and follow others. The key is to know which path will yield better results. I believe that: Radical open-mindedness and radical transparency are invaluable for rapid learning and effective change.” - Ray Dalio Greatest thing I learned from reading Principles by Dalio. He is a billionaire investor. And his breakdown of this, really impacted me.  Part of having a strong personality is being flexible.  Someone who can SHIFT gears when necessary.  People appreciate someone who understands and is selfless enough to do things differently.  Think about it.  When it comes to dinners, parties, events who gets invited first?   The person who is least high maintenance.  Those who don’t demand much, but are always open to having a good time and embrace the adv...

“We’re Still The Kids We Used to Be...”

Image
“We’re still the kids we used to be...I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed, ‘cause nothing hurts anymore and I feel kind of free…” Did you ever draw a picture as a small child? And then show it to mom or dad, and they “gassed” it and said it was nice. How did you feel? It was a stick figure with crayons or markers all over the place, some misspelled words and sun.  If you showed it to your teachers, did they blow you off? Or did they engage, ask questions and let you explain what you created?  That’s what it means to show interest in others. We all are still little kids in our core.  Drawing stick figure pictures with our houses, cars, clothes, businesses. Talking with someone about a passion is the adult version of, ‘Show & Tell.’   Sometimes we need to watch the show. Yes, this can come at a price. I’ve been the victim of being the respectful young person who gets caught in a conversation that extends way past the simple, “H...
