Homeruns or No Runs

We have to give it our best.  Every time we choose to do less than we could, or less than we should, we softly hurt our self-confidence.    What makes this so dangerous however is its subtlety. We don’t even know we hurting ourselves, so we continue to do less than our best. The disciplines…

THIS WEEK FROM MY LIFE SHERPA I watched The Last Dance on ESPN over the weekend, an incredible documentary on Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls (…and not really the 1998 Bull’s season as it claims).  If you didn’t catch it, I highly recommend spending the time.  The dynamics and personalities surrounding such a complex…

Isolation

Isolation is the dark room where we go to develop our negatives. It’s a dangerous place to go…but an easy one these days. Research shows that the average human being has roughly 70,000 thoughts per day, 80% of which happen to be negative. 95% of all thoughts are also repetitive. Let me break that down…thats…

From My Life Sherpa: expectations

People have not been in our shoes…but we also haven’t been in theirs. We so often let others actions and behaviors affect our own state.  Expectations are really just pre-meditated resentments. The sooner we let go of the things we can’t control, and focus on the things we can, the sooner we can become real…

Make it a Great Day

This week from  MY LIFE SHERPA www.klaritylifestylecompany.com If we can change the way we think, we can change the way we feel. If we think everyone in the world is untrustworthy, then we’ll attract untrustworthy people. If we think good things only happen to “those other special people”, then good things will likely never happen to…

Markets Work

How can we fix a problem if we can’t even identify it?   As painful and scary as these times might be, they really present an incredible opportunity to take inventory of ourselves..and our lives. Nobody is more difficult to be honest with than ourselves.  We are quick to point out a splinter in someone…

“No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be good. Like gold or emerald or purple repeating to itself, ‘No matter what anyone says or does, my task is to be emerald, my color undiminished.’” from Marcus Aurelia’s  (Meditations’s There is nothing more important than our state of mind.  It’s simple, it…

Most of us have so many problems in our lives, of which about 1% of them will actually happen. Isolating is a scary thing. Reach out to people these next few weeks will ya? I have a friend who constantly complains about his coworker.  From their description, this individual sounds extraordinarily narcissistic and insecure.  They…
