Lost in Translation
A friend recently told me about a huge argument he got into with his Turkish barber while getting his haircut.
My friend had just played paintball, and his Turkish barber claimed to love paintball as well. And yet, they seemed to disagree on almost every aspect of the game until his barber angrily insisted that there was absolutely no need for the use of a gun to play this game.
This further incited the argument until they FINALLY realized that due to their different accents, my friend was tal…

Seen and Heard
Have you noticed that no matter how proficient we are in our work, the basic human need to be seen and heard still runs our lives?
If you're inside of a corporation, you may wonder, "Why don't people listen to me? Why am I not recognized or promoted for what I do?"
If you're an entrepreneur and you're putting yourself out onto social media, it can feel like putting your energy out into a void and never having it come back to you, and you are wondering, "Is anyone receiving what I'm putting out…
Amplify Inner Clarity
We are born into a noisy and chaotic world, and most of us then go on to spend our lives lost inside all that noise and chaos.
But there are a few of us who somehow find a way back to silence and peace. These people tend to have the inner clarity that they can create anything they want in the world. You can recognize them because they are the rare breed that can put out a message that impacts you.
It's like everything goes silent, and all of a sudden, you could hear a pin drop. All the oth…
Power of Purpose
People often talk about how important it is to find your purpose, but what does it mean to have your purpose find you?
Let’s imagine for a moment that “purpose” has its own life force, just as the life force of a grapevine allows it to grow to 115 feet long and 80 feet high.
I have a different way of looking at purpose because I believe your purpose already exists, and just like a grapevine, it wants to expand and blossom into its full potential.
We can offer the structure for it to grow. We …
Apply Your Imagination
In the spirit of the fall season, I choose this inspiring vision of pumpkins from the Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama who is obsessed with them. In this exhibit called All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins, Kusama introduces mirrors to give the illusion of a magical, other-worldly pumpkin patch. Kusama's commitment to working with pumpkins has given her the ability to play with their shape, form, texture, and colors in ways that most people wouldn't even consider.
I love the idea of taking…

There Is Still Hope
In a world that seems so troubled, how do we hold on to hope? It is hard to remain optimistic in challenging times, and we are constantly being faced with a new one: the pandemic, political unrest, climate crisis, and the loss of biodiversity. And yet, hope has never been more desperately needed.

There Are Hidden Patterns In Everything. Are You Ready To See Them?
"One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden." – Steven Strogatz
I have got something radical to share with you. Most people don't make choices. Instead, they just follow the patterns and habits that have allowed them to survive and get by. That's what brought them to their current level of success, and at some point, that pattern will lose its effectiveness. This means, to get to the next level, a wh…
