Supporting You in Your Desire to Change

At 100 years old, Jiro Ono stands behind the sushi counter in his ten-seat basement restaurant in Tokyo’s Ginza district, doing what he’s done for decades: seeking perfection. “I cherish my life, and I aim for 114,” he declares—not as wishful thinking, but as intentional purpose. That forward-looking goal at 100 reveals everything: he’s not […]

There’s a particular species of dishonesty called convenient amnesia. It’s the art of selectively forgetting whatever doesn’t serve you – past promises, previous positions, uncomfortable truths. And ironically, some of its most devoted practitioners will swear they never lie. People like this claim moral superiority because they “never lie.” But confront them with the fact […]

Every yes carries a hidden cost. When you accept too many projects, chase too many opportunities, stretch yourself across too many commitments, something fundamental breaks down. Not immediately. Not obviously. But inevitably. Your attention fragments. That extra hour you’d normally spend refining your work? Gone. The care you’d give to understanding a client’s deeper needs? […]

Notice the tightness in your stomach. That steady, painful, immovable block in your mind. That’s resistance – and it has a physical address in your body. Stress and fear aren’t abstract concepts; they’re tangible sensations holding you hostage. For those of us in our mature years, resistance often wears a familiar face: the dismissive colleague […]

This cuts to the heart of the matter: we outsource our happiness, then resent the world for failing us. We wait. For the promotion. For someone to notice. For circumstances to align. We’ve made happiness conditional—something earned through external validation rather than claimed through internal choice. But happiness isn’t a prize the world awards for […]

Remember that line from “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town”? He’s making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. We sing it like it’s about behavior – did you clean your room, tell the truth, share your toys? But the deeper question cuts straight to the bone: Have you had […]

“You’re playing with fire” – we all know this warning. It means taking foolish risks that invite trouble. Cheating. Lying. Cutting corners. Breaking promises. But what’s the opposite? Not just avoiding danger – that’s passive. Consider this: When you play with fire, you risk getting burned. When you play with water, you cleanse, refresh, sustain […]

Fear is a powerful force, and we’re all storytellers when it comes to dealing with it. The question isn’t whether you create stories about your fear – you do. The question is: are they serving you or destroying you? Some people befriend fear, recognizing it as information rather than a stop sign. They tell empowering […]

“Woe is me” versus “How fortunate I am.” Both are choices. Both are available at the same time. “Woe is me” wraps us in victimhood—dramatic, self-focused, announcing our suffering to the world. It’s oddly comfortable because it requires nothing of us. It can even become a kind of confidence—confidence in our pain, in our unfortunate […]

When I write my daily blog post, it often reflects something happening in my life and work. I’ve learned I’m not alone in my thoughts and feelings—other people will relate to what I’m experiencing. You may be going through the same thing right now. That connection can give you clarity and inspiration. It can offer […]
