Martial Arts & CraftsLife - Everyone WinsLife doesn't always work out the way you plan. In fact, most of us had some kind of plan set out for us to follow. Go to school, college, get a job, get a spouse, have some kids, get a house, pay taxes, etc. So what happens when you check all the boxes and life still doesn't quite look how you expected it to look? In this episode, I talk about the map I used and the map I created. What map are you using?

Martial Arts & CraftsThe Gift of ReceivingMany of us have been so caught up in the desire to give others what we have--knowledge, products, services--that we have undervalued the importance of receiving.
Giving and receiving is about flow. If we are constantly pouring out without allowing ourselves to be filled, we become empty, and giving becomes a burden at best, meaningless at worst.
When someone else is offering you a heartfelt gift, the best way to give back to that person is to receive it well.

When he said he would "try" changing his behavior, I knew in that moment how much of a trap "try" can be. Because I've been caught in it, myself. When I change my language, I change my attitude; when I change my attitude, I change my behavior; when I change my behavior, I change my life. It's as simple and as difficult as that.

So this really isn't a story about fashion at all. It's a story about identity and how powerful the mind can be.

How does it show up for you? Are you living your purpose, or have you wandered? No judgement, just an invitation to explore who we are and try on different values together.
