One of the things I have wrestled with the most throughout my life is overthinking. For as long as I can remember, I often put my mind through stress by getting stuck on the idea of something and continuing to flood my brain with thoughts (whether positive or negative). We all do this as humans.…
Every day, I feel like I am pushed and pulled by people, things, and life into different directions, different mindsets. I talk a lot about keeping a constant focus on your goals, but the best way to do that is to remain yourself through all of the pushing and pulling. People, things, life will get…
In life, we develop many connections. These connections can be to people, to activities, to feelings, etc. We get to a certain point of life where we learn what connections feel right and what connections feel off. We get to a point where a combination of our feelings and our knowledge give us the insight…
It's funny watching lingo change over time. Words can change meaning quickly and keeping up with the times can become difficult if you aren't plugged in. A word that is thrown around a lot is "vibe".

I have spoken before about the prominence of "circles" in our lives. Many things in life feel like a cycle and you can draw out some of these things, seeing where they started and how they returned to this point. Some of these things good - some of these things bad. I made a post…

As The Masters Tournament begins today in the world of golf, many life lessons I've learned from 16+ years of golfing begin circling in my head during a moment of reflection. As I watched the beginning of the broadcast, I saw a few players hit some wayward shots, and as the broadcasters analyzed these misses,…
Any time that something happens in our lives, the question always seems to be "Why?" Why did that happen? Why do I feel this way? Why is that person acting that way? Why now? I have learned how to look at my "Why?" questions as a whole piece. My why's have become an acronym of…
