As the page turns from 2020 to 2021, we are all eager to see what comes next. The text on everyone's page will look different, but I wanted to discuss our outlooks on the new year (and really, our individual futures in general). I personally spent some time earlier this week writing down my goals…
Motivation
Thankful impacts.
In reflecting on the thanksgiving holiday and the year 2020 beginning to wrap up, I have been reminded lately of the many things I am grateful and thankful for in my life. I wanted to take a moment to thank you all, my readers, for being a part of my life's journey. I am thankful…
Following through.
As an avid golfer for most of my life, I understand the importance of the follow through. When I swing a golf club, I know that a good follow through is the final piece of the puzzle in terms of getting the ball to where I want it to go: The target. So, when transferring…
Music Moves.
It amazes me how impactful music is in my own life. It can set my mood, it can carry me through a day, it can grab my emotions, it can pump me up, and it can calm me down. I think we have all experienced the emotions that music can give us. However, the lesson…

How to clear your mind.

It's easy for our mind to put itself in a place that is beyond what's going on. Whether it's because we feel things should be different, because we want things to be different, or…
The importance of listening to yourself AND others.
When something is spoken, we should listen. There is always something to learn from words.

We can take what we hear and gather so much information about a person, place,…

Enjoy the day.
I harp on the importance of being present as life presents each moment to you. Being able to experience every moment right as it happens is an incredible feeling. When you have your mind somewhere in the past or the future, you never really get the full feelings that life brings to you in a…
