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…

Taking time to re-react.
When anything happens in our lives, we react to what just occurred. Our initial reaction can sometimes tell the perfect story of what is actually occurring and how we really feel, when other times we jump to conclusions and our emotions provide us with a reaction that is completely inaccurate. I always take note of…
“B” focus.
The weather recently in Kansas City has been beautiful. As I go from place to place, whether it be work, my girlfriend's place, my home, the golf course, my friend's house, etc., I have made it a note to appreciate the weather - spend time outside, go for walks, roll the windows down on the…
Timelines.

Patience in all things.
As humans, we are always wanting our lives to be aligned exactly how we see fit. Every day, we have to wait for something to come - usually, it's just for a shift at work, the alarm to wake us, the car ride home, for the oven to finish cooking our dinner, etc. When…
Meditate, focus, learn, assess, live… at your own pace.
Last night, I spent around 30 minutes outside in my backyard enjoying the sunset turn to the night and the beautiful weather here in Kansas City. I had music on and once it got to the calmer section of the playlist, I began to try to meditate. I don't meditate often, and many times, I…

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…
Frustrated, but unphased.
It's not always easy to meet a goal. There are many steps we take on our way to achieving a goal and all of them require an amount of precision. If one step is not where it needs to be, the goal can become much harder to reach. If you have read my post…
