As soon as you say you are off sweets, you have to have a chocolate. As soon as you say, I’ll exercise everyday — you stop. Until, you don’t until you have enough fire or momentum that you blow past a previous indecision to a new commitment. Universal law states that for every action there is an equal reaction. So as soon as you decide to up level anything , we expect resistance to knock on the do...

Hello Creatives — It seems many of us are tidying up our desks, moving them to a new corner to get better sun and cracking out the good notebook. About 5 hours after I went and changed the title of the my substack, I got an email from fellow writer, Claudine, and it said: I am changing my substack. I sent a squeal of a voice note back. I really love a confirmation synchronicity — I share it with y...

Have you heard of this book? Grab it on bookshop here. I had it recommended to me by two very different individuals, living very different, successful, value-aligned lives. I am so glad I got it.
