Don’t wait to appreciate.

Making what you’re inspired to make
Sometimes I get really inspired by the amazing & creative things I see shared online. It makes me want to try to share creative things as well. But then I sometimes hear a voice in my head that says, “What’s the point of even trying? You’ll never produce anything as good as that.” or “You’re so less skilled and so far behind everyone else, why even start?”
The reason I share this is to let you know that if you sometimes battle with a voice like that, you’re not alone. And while I hear the voice ...

Expertise and avoiding vs overcoming problems
I don’t consider myself an expert in anything. Everything I share online and write about in my books is a reflection of something I’ve had to work on to overcome, or in many cases, is something I’m still working on. No matter how much we think we know, there’s always room for improvement.
It is a mistake to think that just because you’ve learned a lesson that it won’t trip you up again multiple times in life.
What life experience provides isn’t necessarily a way to avoid problems, but rather, th...

What makes you different
Yes, be inspired by others — particularly those who are good at what they do — but don’t lose what makes you unique in the process.
It’s not the things that make you similar to people that make you interesting — it’s what makes you different.

What makes most stories interesting
What makes most stories interesting is that they don’t go as you expect them to.
The same thing can be said about life.
Learn to appreciate the plot twists of your life. They’re not the end of your story, they’re just an interesting part of it.

“I’ve heard it before.”
“I’ve heard it before.” Of course you have. Who hasn’t?
Like many, my goal isn’t to reinvent the wheel. My goal is to share things in a way that make the message I’m trying to share click with people. And other times, it’s just to remind people of something they already know simply because it’s been helpful to me and I feel like sharing it.
So yeah, you’ve probably heard it before. And one of these days someone will eventually say it in a way that actually makes it meaningful to you. Because if ...

The magic is in the moment
Destinations provide direction, but it’s the journey that’s the reward.
As it is in travel, so it is also in life.
Don’t get so caught up in trying to get somewhere that you fail to see the magic in the moments along the way.
