The Backstory

“Fail, fail really big and have the courage to stick around to make them wonder why you are smiling. That’s true greatness to me!”
The character of Claire from the movie “Elizabethtown”

If it weren’t for the courage of many to aspire for higher ground, we would be deprived of a great many things in this world. I shudder to imagine even a fraction of it. I am certain that time alone does not equal progress. Centuries may come to pass but that by itself does not translate to any remarkable progress for mankind. Instead, it is thanks to true courage put forth by men and women who have come generations before us and who left us their life’s work and legacy that we live in the world as we know it today.

A Memo On Encouragement: From This Day Forward

by

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.”
~ Oriah

I saw these words a few minutes after finding out that Forbes published a story around my recent decision to ditch the corporate life. Impeccable timing. I finally do know what I ache for and you can bet your bottom dollar that I fully intend on meeting this heart’s longing.

What about you?
What do you ache for?

Please tell me you have not given up asking that question. [Read more…] about A Memo On Encouragement: From This Day Forward

How to Awaken a Dormant Dream

Have you ever had a dream so strong that you spent your waking hours toiling away as if there were no tomorrow, as if today was all you had?

Have you known a dream so alive inside your every cell that you were afraid to fall asleep lest you do not wake up feeling the same way?

Have you had a dream so firmly grounded in your mind and so permanently tugged at your heart that it was simply impossible to abandon it, even against the worst odds?

If you thought you had a dream but these questions did not resonate with you, don’t lose heart!

Your dream could just be dormant, sleeping under the surface waiting desperately to wake up.

My dreams, I shoved down so deep and so harshly for so many years that it is a miracle they did not abandon me in the way I abandoned them.

Do not abandon your dreams. [Read more…] about How to Awaken, Build and Guard your Dreams

Shake Up Your Routine

Shake up Your Routine

How often do you completely change the way you do something?

Actually, forget completely. How about partially? Even minimally?

Sometimes, you lose your grip on momentum for those smart habits and ingenious ways of living you had so meticulously planned.

And often times, it is not for lack of trying.

Because plans do not always follow the brilliant paths paved in your mind. Inconvenient as all get out but a fact of life.

You draw up the perfectly logical plan, fine-tune your motivation and re-fuel your inspiration to just the right level. You are ready to go. You know exactly what you want. You know exactly where you are headed. You have the right tools. You took the right classes. You listened to the right people. You adopted the new way of doing things and no one is going to stop you.
