MONDAY, November 30th WORD OF THE DAY: VISUALIZE QUOTE OF THE DAY: Meditate on this: Elite athletes and highly successful entrepreneurs both know the power of visualizing a positive outcome.

As October ushers in crisp morning breezes and everything pumpkin spice, I’ve been thinking a lot about rituals and why we love them. Every October children and adults alike anticipate the tradition of dressing up in disguise and begging for candy. There are annual pumpkin carving contests and haunted houses and hayrides. And there is a collective sadness around not being able to do these things, in the same way, this year. We humans take comfort in doing the same things over and over again. There is something so calming about knowing what happens next. Rituals require repetition. Yet are rituals…

MONDAY, October 19th WORD OF THE DAY: DARE QUOTE OF THE DAY: MEDITATE ON THIS: There is a saying in the rooms, “If you want what you’ve never had, you’ve got to do what you’ve never done.” We cannot grow and also stay the same.

The Serenity Prayer is one of the most well-known prayers in the world. Most people attribute this prayer to Reinhold Niebuhr, who wrote it during the years leading up to World War II as a prayer intended to inspire courage in people to rise up against evil forces at work in the world. The abbreviated version became a staple in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings after Bill W. read the prayer and was dumbstruck about how it summed up what he and others were attempting to achieve through the 12 steps. And voila, the Serenity Prayer catapulted into the…

It is important to do routine maintenance on all of our relationships. What relationships have I been neglecting…
