The Forklift : Clarity

“Focus like a laser, not a flashlight” Michael Jordan Life without clarity is a struggle. If we don’t know where we are wanting to go, we’ll just end up somewhere else! We have to be thoughtful regarding our desired destinations in life. Who do we want to be? What kind of lifestyle do we want? …

This week from The Forklift: Embracing the Struggle

www.klaritylifestylecompany.com Who would have thought that one of the best baseball pitchers in the world would have just one arm? Well, I would!

We all suffer from spiritual narcolepsy.  As soon as we start feeling really connected, as soon as we think we have it all figured out, life happens (and its usually something pretty minor that sets us off). Just like that, and in a matter of seconds, we find ourselves on an island of crazy.  Our…

“Most powerful is he who has himself in his own power” – Seneca  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.  We can only control what we can control. The sooner we let go of the things we…

This week from My Life Sherpa : The Truth

Week of July 25th, 2022 Our freedom is truly correlated with our truth. Our secrets confine us. Ask any addict about the feeling they get when first released from the shackles of their disease and they will tell you one thing – I am free. Their secret is no more.  Living in the light is joyous…

This week from My Life Sherpa : All Out  

We have to give it our best.  Every time we choose to do less than we could, or less than we should, we hurt our self-confidence.    It’s its subtlety that makes this thing called life so dangerous. We don’t even know when we are hurting ourselves! So, we continue to do less than our…
