When You Feel Like Giving Up
Im not good enough.
I dont know what to do.
Everything feels overwhelming, and Im ready to give up.
Those are the kind of thoughts that enter my head from time to time. I know you can relate, because every human being on this planet goes through this.
It doesnt matter how successful you are. Success doesnt give you immunity from humanity.
One of the problems today is that you see edited lives on display. Few want to share what life really looks like, wrinkles and all.

What to Do When You’re Scared Out of Your Mind
When you think about going after your dreams, following your passion, and doing something you love, does it scare you?
If you’re anything like me, it scares you, a lot.
This is partly because we’re afraid of showing the world what we truly care about.
It makes us vulnerable.
Plus, going after what makes you come alive brings up your inner demons.
In order to make progress,you have to be willing to walk through the darkness.
But all is not as it seems, as you’ll soon discover.

The Lost Art of Experimenting Your Way to Happiness
We’ve all been there.
You gobble up books, courses, blogs, seminars.
You do everything in your power to find the key to lasting happiness.
Yet it seems to elude you. You try harder. You put in more time. And you end up exhausted.
You want to give up, but you can’t, because you think this is what you have to do to live life to the fullest.
But the truth is that searching isn’t going to give you the answers you seek.
Happiness is not a technique. It cannot be given to you by someone else.
The Problem We FaceIt seems easier to keep searching, to keep looking for answers outside of ourselves.
What’s har...ourselves.

Why You Can’t Logically Figure Out Your Passion
I’ve been helping people find and follow their passion since 2009.
And I’ve been on this path myself for my whole adult life.
What has become clear is that you can’t logically force your passion to reveal itself.
It’s a process of experimenting, discovering, and letting go.
We’re all born with a specific set of strengths.
Everyone perceives the world differently, which means we all have a unique contribution to make.
But we grow up around people that tell us what we can do, and what we can’t.
So we learn to suppress who we are, which is why we have such difficulty traveling...can’t.

Why? Because sadness has something to teach us.
It’s here to nudge us to look within, to release yourself from the mental shackles that never existed.
Let’s look at how you can do that, shall we?

The Ultimate Guide to Finding Your Passion
I’ve been helping people find and follow their passion since 2009.
I’ve noticed the same questions come up over and over again.
And the answers always remain the same.
The truth of the matter is that you already have the answers; you’re just getting in your own way.
How? By thinking too much. Trying to figure things out. Forcing progress. The trying to force things to happen gets in the way of things happening.
If that doesn’t quite make sense, or you don’t quite believe it, keep reading.

How to Live a Happy Life: An Honest Essay
We all want to discover how to live a happy life. I’ve been in pursuit of a happy life for as long as I can remember.
I’ve always wondered what it takes to be happy. As I pursued money, relationships, and success, I realized that happiness doesn’t come from the outside; it comes from within.
I also realized that I don’t necessarily need to do anything to be happy.
The funny thing is that when I saw this, I became more likely to do what I loved, because I wasn’t so afraid of failing.
I wasn’t so...
