The Next Step

Wherever you are, whatever you may be struggling with or uncertain about — just take the next step.

Take one baby step forward.

As your leg extends forward and your body follows you might notice something profound about the next step: that it’s actually a new birth.

You have left behind the “you” that was there and you have stepped into a new “you.”

As you take that step you might ask yourself: what do I want to leave behind? What do I want to bring with me?

What habits, beliefs, relationships do I want to carry forward? Which do I want to drop?

Every step is like a bus stop, and you get to choose who gets on and who gets off.

And if you find that you’re still unsure or uncertain or struggling — that’s ok. Just take one more step, and begin again.

Step. Breathe. Experience.

The moment we come to a conclusion, we are done learning. Our cup is full. We have...

Settling down is in vogue. “When are you going to settle down?” is a question often asked in modern day society. When I hear that question this is what I hear: “When are you going to stop moving, stop learning, stop growing, stop experiencing?” So, I’m starting a new line of questioning: “When are you going to settle up?” When are you going to settle up...

I recently walked past a man sitting on the side of the street talking to himself. He was speaking loudly, with great emotion, and every few sentences the topic of his soliloquy seemed to change dramatically. In one moment, he seemed to be ranting about a woman: “And who does she think she is?! You don’t talk to me like that! Don’t you ever dare talk to me like that!” In...
