The more we put energy on things outside of ourselves that we can't control, the more emotional unrest we experience. We can't control the weather, the media, politics, traffic, other people - but we can control our thoughts, our movement, what we put in our mouths, our authenticity.

Don't ever revert to talking yourself out of your greatness. Build the life you desire. Do not dim your light to make the world more comfortable. From your greatness springs unconditional love.

You "have it going on" when you're spiritually connected. Intrinsic motivation is all about feeling good and having that goodness come from an authentic place.

There is a lot more that we can do to improve our quality of life and uplevel our joy.

Our world needs creative, courageous thinkers. The more time we suffer under stress and sadness, our brains literally shrink. We've got work to do. Create connection. Learn to love again.

It's too easy these days to fall into complacency - the valley of mediocrity. Where are you in this mix? It's time to re-engineer your genetics. Engage your genes with passion and purpose.
