Are you Happy? What does Happiness mean to you? 

They say ‘Joy’ is an attitude that defies circumstances &

That ‘Happiness’ is a feeling or emotional response based on circumstances. 

I wanted to open a dialogue about Happiness itself. Too often do we get so caught up in the moments, caught up in comparison or lost in the sauce, we lose our presence in experiencing happiness in its totality. 

The purpose of me focusing on happiness and not Joy is because I think often times, the feeling isn’t given enough mindfulness that some people may not even know what it is that makes them happy. 

The ability to live your life in Joy is truly a blessing, but i believe to help more people find that Joy within themselves, they must take the time to reflect on the things that make them the most happy. 

As you explore what makes you happy, you can nurture and evolve that feeling and continue onwards in your life making that feeling a constant for you. Not to negate negative feelings, but to truly appreciate your positive ones. 

Happiness can’t be defined for everyone the same, but I’m curious to what makes you happy? You’d be surprised how simple it can be, or how unorthodox it may be. But whatever it is, its YOURS.

Overthinking ≈ Paralysis by Analysis • If you’re an over thinker like myself, it’s easy to fall into this trap coined “Analysis Paralysis”

This was a concept actually brought to my attention by my LB whose a psychology graduate and it peaked my interest to delve deeper into. As I reflected over my own journey and process i thought about all the times that my own negative self thinking, fear of failure or perfectionism halted me even taking any action on an idea/goal I had. 

It made me realize how important it is to be consciously aware of the power the thoughts in our mind can have on our actions. The concept of ‘Analysis Paralysis’ simplifies this phenomenon. It’s literally over-thinking manifested into inaction. It’s not an easy battle to overcome, but the first step is being conscious of your thought patterns and more aware of the power of taking action IMMEDIATELY rather than procrastinating into idle mode. 

Once idle mode takes over, you’ve left far to much room to consider the negative, and may lose the power of motivation that shows you the greater potential good. 

Pt 2 coming soon!

Collaboration Over Competition 🤝 • With the endless number of people who use social media, and accessibility/communication increasing so vastly in our society, 

Why is it that many people in similar niches/industries look at each other solely as competition rather than a community?

Leadership is a Team Sport. If you want to be a leader in your field, you must have the skills and the mentality to work well with others and to be a constant Student of the game. 

Often times many of us limit the potential of growth we can have simply because of our mindset.

I wanted to take deep dive into the concept of building a community rather than competing with what many see as “Opposition”

What do you think? 

Is Competition BETTER than Collaboration? 

Do you prefer collaborating over competing?

Part 2 coming soon!

Alone is hard. Together is better.

What is the Point of Motivation? 

Some people are of the mindset “Nobody cares, just do it” 

while others are of the mindset

 “Why should I do it, whats the point?” 

Lets explore the concept of motivation for a second here. Motivation is 1/3 of what I consider the vehicle of Successful Habits. 

DISCIPLINE- The Vehicle/Actions to execution

INSPIRATION- Car Keys/Ignition

MOTIVATION- GASOLINE/FUEL 

I grew up in sports & running track into my collegiate years. There was NO WAY I would have achieved what I was able to accomplish in my life & be CURRENTLY CONTINUING my journey without finding ways to balance and nurture all 3 of these concepts. 

What does motivation mean to you? Do you find purpose in motivation, or is it useless in your opinion? 

Check out the full breakdown this concept on my podcast! This is just a snippet,
