Motivation is a feeling. The problem being, we all keep waiting to feel motivated to do the things we don't feel like doing. And that ain't ever gonna happen. Even though we know doing the thing is good for us, that it will bring us some benefit or result.

Believing in Karma is like learning the Golden Rule. It's just what we learn as kids, it's considered truth and we're not to question it, we're just to abide by it. Period, end of story.

Yes, this is all well and good. I leave a good portion of my life up to Karma. (I know for a 100% fact that a couple of very bad things have happened to me as a result of bad Karma juju I emitted to the world). Mostly, though, I believe in the Karma of kindness.

Enthusiasm is found in that white space between perseverance and defeat.  It is what makes someone stay motivated and keep going and others give up and quit.

So how do you get it and how do you keep it? 

The Momentum train can't leave the station without some fuel to get it started. And it's up to you to fuel it on a daily basis.

In honor of 4th of July, I thought a post on bravery was appropriate. Most of us don't know, nor will every know, the level of courage required to be in the military. But that's not to say each of us isn't fighting a tiny personal battle each day.

Success lies in our ability to take small steps repeatedly over time. Here are 5 tips to get you from dreaming to living.

Every second we spend comparing our real life to the facebook lives of others is a complete and total waste. Not to mention it sends us into a spiral about what's not in our life that others appear to have. More money, more happiness, more love, more whatever it is we feel we are lacking in our own facebook feed.

I'm buried under a pile of shoulds and can't get out. Isn't it about time we stop feeling overwhelmed by all the things we think we ought to be doing? If you too are dying a slow painful death by obligations, let's unite and decide: enough already. It's time for us to come up with a new list. A list of things that REALLY matter that we should be doing every day.

These first five days have been a fascinating study of my discipline and focus. I mean really, with no actual "work place" to go to, the main thing standing between me and the welfare line is my ability to stay the course and be effective with my time. Here's how the week panned out...

Reading is a private vacation into the world of possibility. You can take it anytime on any subject for however long you choose to do so. In my view, it's an immediate transportation into your own future potential.

Commit that each and every day you'll make an effort to live it out loud. Intentionally. Wholeheartedly. Exceptionally. Brilliantly. Because that 50 train is coming fast and I don't know about you but I want to be on it in the bar car celebrating a life well lived.

My ask is for each of you to commit, from this day forward, to start each day from a place of positivity. Be the person inspiring others. Be the one infecting the rest of us with possibility. I guarantee you, it’s hard. Being a downer, a doubter is much easier.

Maybe the reason the rest of us aren't living that same fulfilled life is because success to that degree gets up very, very early in the morning and we are still sleeping.

The real goal is to purposefully craft a legacy while you are still living. It's not about leaving a legacy it's about living one, right here, right now.
