Ever think maybe a cult looks like a pretty good option? There are better ways to fill the void.

How do you make a decision between A and B when both are good options and your pros and cons list turns out pretty much even Steven. We call these champagne problems and while I love champagne these are still problems.

In the history of humankind no child was born a racist. Children are born vulnerable, open, loving and in search of love. They welcome differences with curiosity. We have much to learn from children.

You know it is very very possible for more than one point of view to be right at any given time but sometimes we look through scarcity mindset and feel that to be right we must make others wrong. Or perhaps you’ve been on the other side of that. It does not feel good, am i right? Abundance mindset says to try the Yes And approach - I hear your point of view and I say yes and here is what also coul...

you can not hear me by telling me you are listening. You hear me by listening. And by asking me if i feel heard and if not, what i need to feel heard, and then you listen to my response

What is normal anyway? I tell you what it is. It is a baseline comparison to a standard that does not exist. Or, in other words, it is the bull shit that keeps you playing small. So I say, screw that. When we stop comparing ourselves to an external standard we are able to see our own authentic crazy town mint chocolate gooey crunchy inside that makes life interesting and greatness very very possib...

We right the wrongs of violence, anger and hate through love. That is the heart of the matter. And yes, I know that protests sometimes turned violent - that is something else. I don’t know what it is and I know that it also brings pain to my heart. But what I want to remind us is to remember to love one another boldly. Courageously. And hold each other safely. I love you. And theres nothing you ca...

Inspirations from David Sedaris - Small Talk is a choice. You decide when, if and how you engage with others. Choose wisely

Recently i discovered the magical stylings of Justin Willman from magic for humans. Willman packages entertaining storytelling with illusions and lessons about what it means to be human. He addresses belief systems, emotionality, human connections. What did this inspire for me?

One of my favorite podcasts is called pop culture happy hour and every week they go around and talk about what makes them happy each week. It’s my favorite part of the show in fact. I love hearing other people’s joy and whatever is inspiring their joy. And that inspires my joy even if it doesn’t always inspire me to go and find whatever book or meme or tv show they’re talking about. (But a lot of...

Personal growth can feel overwhelming, but it’s a journey of discovery and along the way we find a new fear or habit or awareness and we get to decide what to do with that. Maybe we take that on for a while. Maybe we don’t. That’s ok too. This path has many sites to see. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle.

Fear of missing out. What happens when you think others are living your best life?

Many bad decisions or indecisions can be traced to fear of loss. To address it there are two important truths to recognize. First, loss is inevitable. And second, not all loss is.

Fear of setbacks is a little bit like fear of failure but the cost is different. The problem here is the negative focus. If our attention is on the set back we are actually stealing attention from the aspiration and that is working the goal and that means focusing on the plan and celebrating progress.

Many people have a tremendous fear of failure. The cost of this fear is often not taking risks and playing small or playing safe. This limits the possibility for growth tremendously though too. So one way to address fear of failing is to just fail. You know. Just a little bit at first. See how it feels. Choose some things that it’s reasonably safe to fail at - like karaoke. Everybody fails at kara...

A lot of life goes unlived due to fear. Begin to confront fears a little bit every day. Become comfortable being uncomfortable.

The predisposition for surprise involves letting go of expectations and choosing openness to possibilities.

Whether you write in a diary or a Dear Mama Kim, meditate, pray, or just sit down and talk about your day with someone you care about... this can be a powerful practice for letting go, reflecting , and resetting. What practices would you implement for this?

Resiliency isn’t what allows you to recover from a plot twist by getting it back to your comfort zone. Resiliency is how you get back to your comfort zone so that you can weather the twists and turns.

To accept the new story we have to grieve the old story.
