It’s not like good things only happen when everything is going smoothly. However righteous the plan, it’s a big world out there. You were born to be able to manage the unforeseeable with fortitude, grace, and ownership.

Go big for a friend the next time you’re able to. You never know when somebody really needs someone else to just show up for them.

Compartmentalization only works in the short term, and it has long term negative side effects. But it’s easier. Acceptance is harder, but it’s real.
Call ’em like I see ’em.

If you get the ego out of it, success and failure are just pieces of information. Take the data, roll in into your understanding of the situation, move forward without illusions.

Your mind is your most precious asset. Don’t just throw the doors open to noisy outside influences. Be still.
Curate your headspace. Then, go great your world.

Fight the good fight, not the bad one In the quiet of your heart
I know you know the difference
My love.

You don’t need to fix everything, for everyone everywhere, for all eternity. You just need to know what the next one right thing for yourself is, and do that. And maybe breathe.

The diaphragm rests when we breathe out. Find the very bottom of an exhale, really let that thing soften, then relax your face. Complete quiet is waiting right there, anytime you need it.
