But how Maurice? “I don’t want to invest. I don’t necessarily want to travel the world. My job pays the bills. I just wish I had more control over my day-to-day life design so I could live better. My main issue is I never have time for life, for outside passions or even family. I’m burned out.” ...

Detachment. Not giving power to opinions of others. Not focusing on outcomes, rather, enjoying process. Cultivating the habit of just ‘do’ and course correct along the way. Three examples in my mind of the art form that is ‘Detachment’. In conversations with coaching students who are very in...

“Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, this is me and the damned world can go to hell.” - Rollo May I think he’s right, perhaps not for everyone, but for many people. May was an American psychologist and argued that human development proceeds...

In the Oslo, Norway airport as I write this. It's 7:32am local time on June 29, 2024, and I just arrived from Lebanon to spend time with a friend. I've been contemplating coming to Norway for years. This is country 99, while I have been on country 98 (Lebanon, for 5 years). My excuse was that I...

It's never too late... Stop saying that about your journey. There is no time limit on life.

 You can be one thing or flip to another.

 Follow a standard path or make your own.

 As we evolve, so do aspirations of what we want.

 It's ok to climb one mountain, come down, and climb another.

Try Life On Principles. That’s the foundation, and I wanted to remind you of that. __________ The idea of "Try Life On" encompasses the notion “Status Quo” is default language we don’t have to follow. It espouses that life itself is something that we must practice. It’s not a destination. Fo...

The experiences of a millionaire or billionaire. This is what people think tons of money will get them. We must be rich to Try Life On, right? Nah... I disproved this fallacy a long time ago in my journey. Truth is we don't need $20M to have such experiences. I know because I've been living ...

The game of life… Work, get the biggest title, get a mortgage, buy stuff (monthly payments), add a few cars and kids, have beers and wine on Friday, go to Costco and kid activities on Saturday, recover on Sunday. That seems to be what (at least US culture) has become. We get into this loop wher...

You know… it’s okay to think about rules a bit differently. I certainly do, all the time. You don’t have to blindly accept everything as black and white. Many well-intentioned rules and policies impede actual life, unintentionally. If there’s a (positive and ethical) way to honor them while ge...
