In this week’s earlier post, we got out the shovel and did some digging. We went deep, y’all, and got into some big questions about what makes us tick, and why it can be so hard to just follow that beat and be ourselves. Authenticity is so magnetic in other people (even if the expression […]

We all know at least one of these people. They are the ones who say exactly what they’re thinking. They don’t hide their emotions, seem to share every opinion, and are unapologetically who they are every moment of every day. As you think about a person like this in your life, you may find yourself
You know that saying that you don’t know what you don’t know? It’s true…and it’s also true that you don’t see what you don’t see. Whether your attention is focused on your thoughts or, as is often the case these days, the small screen in your hand, it’s probably not as engaged as it could

It’s a lot of striving, a lot of thinking about the future and working really hard in the present to make that future look a certain way. And you know what happens when you achieve a goal, right? Yasssss, elation! And then….the next
A little reminder as you run around this morning, scrambling to get out the door and into another busy week…you can get a lot done in a mad hurry, fueled by deadlines and anxiety, but that’s kind of a self-perpetuating cycle, you know?

This week’s earlier post was about a lot of things. It was about making decisions, finding professional fulfillment and personal happiness, and surviving disappointment. It was about dreams realized and hopes dashed. It was about the role your mind plays in framing the lens through which you see and experience the world. But at the

There is nothing quite like the magic of a dream come true. Once we discover that there is something meaningful we want – something we aspire to having, achieving, or doing – and we set out in the pursuit of making it happen, it can be hard to imagine ourselves without it. We ignore (for
