Dream

In no other time in history has it been easier to let our lives run us, rather than us run our lives.   We get so caught up with making a living, that we forget about making our life.  We don’t just not make time to set goals anymore, we don’t even make time to…

This week from My Life Sherpa : Camouflage

Motivational coach, Matt Miller, outdoors with close friend

Often times, when we are doing things that immediately make us feel better about ourselves, we are actually doing the opposite. The external world is full of tricks and mirages.  The “easy” button is always right by our side.   A great example of this is something very prevalent in todays world. Image Management. Because…

This week from My Life Sherpa : Inside Job

We make the mistake of assuming that when everyone has the same facts, they will come up with the same conclusion.   Just as two people go to a movie and have completely different experiences, life is no different.  We all have our own pair of glasses that we look through. From the minute we…

Lifestyle

This week from My Life Sherpa:  Happiness is a chosen lifestyle.  It is an internal decision that can be made by any of us at any time. We often get confused and wait back for happiness to find us, thinking it is the result of worldly successes, rather than the cause.   There is nothing…

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…

“The purpose in a mans heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out” – Proverbs 20:5 Do you know what you want?  Clarity is power.  Having a clear vision of where you are going and what you want will change your life.  In my 40 interesting years on this…

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…
