Are You the Driver or the Passenger?

There are two primary ways people handle themselves in their own lives. One person is the passenger. They allow others and outside factors to steer the direction of their lives. To dictate what happens to them, where they go, how they feel, where they end up at the end of their days.

The other type is the driver. The driver knows what they want, goes after it, and doesn’t allow anyone else or anything stand between them and the life they’re going to build, and everyone around them benefits as a result of their commitment.

Most people are passengers for a million and one different reasons.
Drivers are far more rare. They’re not ever too busy to take care of themselves and ensure their family also has their needs met.

They’re focused and determined and seemingly “have it all.” And simultaneously, they experience deep happiness and fulfillment because as the driver, it’s what they’ve chosen and created.

One isn’t better than the other – that’s not what this is about. But the driver tends to make more out of life. And the beautiful part of all of this is that we get to CHOOSE if we’re the passenger or the driver.

It’s never coincidence, although often we don’t realize the choice. So, my friend… have you been living as the passenger or the driver in your own life?

No judgement either way.

And based on this analogy, is there anything you’d like to do differently?

6 Ways To Transform Your Life

If you want to experience a truly extraordinary life, this message is for you.

And it’s not about quitting your job and frolicking off to foreign lands (although if that’s your goal, power to you)!

It’s about making small and easy choices each day that add up to a massive up-level.

I talk a lot about growth because I truly believe it’s something most humans desire but get wrapped up in life obligations and being “too busy” to really prioritize.

So, here’s a quick list of suggestions for things you can do that will literally transform you and your life:

1. Walk more while growing mentally. Sounds so simple, right? The mental growth part has to do with listening to podcasts, books, YouTube videos… whatever interests you. But this is an incredible opportunity for you to both MOVE and expand your mind. I use Audible and love the ease of listening while driving.
2. Replace television with books. Reading is becoming a lost art for so many people. And I get that most of us are mentally tapped out by the end of the day, but reading can be incredibly pleasurable and it changes your mind in ways that TV just can’t.
3. Take up a new skill or hobby. Whether you’ve wanted to learn how to be a better cook, volunteer at an animal shelter, or pick back up the writing you used to do in college, taking up new skills and hobbies is so good for the human mind and experience.
4. Reconnect with people from your past. It’s easier than ever for us to lose touch with people we were once close to. Everything seemingly happens for the sake of “busy” these days. But we know that having strong relationships and connection is one of the things that fundamentally makes life better for people. And we all know that life is short. You never know when you might not be able to call that person again – so, don’t put it off any longer.
5. Travel more. Seeing the world and experiencing other cultures is one of the number one ways to grow yourself. It might be something you’d love to do or something totally out of your comfort zone. Either way, once you travel, you’ll never see the world the same way.
6. Spend time alone. Doing things alone – especially publicly is a massive transformational edge for many people. It might seem impossible to find that time or uncomfortable to go to dinner by yourself, but becoming at peace with solitude and comfortable in who you are without the company of others is a game-changer.

So, are you currently practicing any of the above?

Which do you feel would really push your growth edge and change your life for the better? I’d love for you to share with me – reply below and let me know!

Ugly Things Can Have Beautiful Outcomes

Death, sickness, having our lives turned upside down, wearing face masks in public…

No one saw this global pandemic changing “normal” as we knew it.

None of those things are positive, and the havoc this virus has imposed on so many is purely devastating. But there is another side to this. A beautiful side.

One of the incredible things that has come out of the virus for many people is that they’ve begun desiring something different. They’ve started to rethink how they’re living, how they’re doing business, and how they’re showing up in the world. And they’ve realized that much more is available to them…

More love & connection, more opportunities to contribute & give back, more opportunities to earn money, and so much more…

I myself have made some important shifts about what is truly important in my life. Time with my daughter and family, relationships with friends and the realization that my personal health needs to come first.

I can be successful and help others and be of service but my health absolutely has to come first for me to be able to be my creative best self and I’m so happy to have had this time to reflect and grow myself.

We can’t always choose the things that happen to us, but we can choose how we think about and react to everything. So, my friend, have you started thinking about what else is possible for you as a result of these crazy times?

I’d love it if you’d share with me!

Your Brain is the Best Liar

Ahhhhh that reptilian brain of yours!

Designed for seeking pleasure and rest.

For avoiding change and doing scary things.

You can thank your brain for protecting your multi-millennia old human ancestors, but you’ve gotta get it in check for the world we exist in today.

You see…it’s not your brain’s fault that it’s a chronic liar.
It’s just doing what it’s supposed to do – to keep you safe.

Unfortunately, it hasn’t quite realized that no animal is looking to eat you as its prey on a daily basis. Or that food is no longer in scarcity.

So, it keeps doing its job. One that served our ancestors well but not so much the modern human. And it lies to you. A LOT. It tells you that changing is terrifying, life-threatening even. So, you obviously shouldn’t do that.

It tells you to live for pleasure – rest, good food, fun and not to distress yourself with uncomfortable things like exercise or a new challenge like triathlon.
The next time your brain pipes up and makes you feel resistance or fear to something you know you need to do, just remember what’s actually happening.

Start seeing yourself almost as a separate entity from your brain. Because your brain truly has its own agenda separate from yours.

Crazy, right!?

Reply below, and let me know how this sits with you, my friend. You might even be feeling a little like your mind is blown – and that’s to be expected.
