The idea that principles—such as integrity, accountability, and honesty, are universal and unchanging, much like the laws of nature (e.g., gravity). No matter the situation, these principles remain constant. Our effectiveness in life and business depends on how well we align our actions, decisions, and behaviors with these fundamental truths. If we work in harmony with principles (like Integrity, fairness and respect), we build trust, achieve long-term success, and create meaningful impact. However, when we ignore or violate them, we face resistance, setbacks, and allow our energy to contract! In short: Principles don’t change—we do. The more we align with them, the more effective we become in our lives.

Belief is the foundation of success in business. If you don’t believe in your vision, your product, or your team—why should anyone else? Confidence fuels action, attracts opportunity, and turns challenges into stepping stones. Believe first, and the results will follow.?#Leadership?#Success Yes, the Power of belief! Something I heard awhile back that resonated with me: "Going from my head, to my Heart". Being clear on my vision, then taking purposeful action each day towards it, and corse correcting when needed and trusting in the universe in the process.

How easy I can take life for granted. This week was a huge reminder after not only myself but my family all came down with serious cases of the flu! Even though we both are in the middle of our "Uncoupling", I was there for Tara and my daughter. Slept in the basement for a week because Tara was the worst off of all three of us. Made me realize how grateful I was to be there to help out and not be isolated by myself when I was feeling so miserable! Today is Saturday and for the first time I feel "human" again and that there is light at the end of the tunnel of my suffering this terrible virus. Tara and my daughter are not out of the woods yet but slowly improving. How vulnerable and weak I felt this past week and having to surrender ALL of my work "to-do list", my performance numbers, etc... All out the window! Rest and getting better was my only goal and what mattered. How quickly life can remind me that my health is my wealth and how fleeting anything in life can be. Celebrate each moment no matter how big or small. My Win for the week was healing with my family instead in isolation. Healing is more meaningful when done in community. I guess that goes when I think of anything personal or professional, always better shared! We never truly accomplish anything alone. There is always someone there who has provided advice, mentoring, ear to listen, etc... Life certainly is to be celebrated!

This principle reminds me that whatever my story is, whatever trauma or misfortune, loss or failure I may have experienced, I am always the cause of how I experience my life. I am, and you are bigger than any circumstance you find yourself in. I can choose to work my way through any challenge with a Growth mindset. Celebrating WINS, no matter how big or small and viewing any setback as a growth and learning opportunity. Like anything we do, it takes practice.

How can I make myself, my personal life, professional life have more meaning?Something sparked me on a post I just read here on how "Us" men many times are like a ship without a rudder in our lives, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually, allowing myself to be pulled in every which way, but with no clear path or guidance. I'll speak for myself as I have found that the more clarity I have with my purpose, I find myself now living with more intent! So many years I have been ruled by my emotions and they would express themselves in reactions to others. Many times towards the people I loved the most. This has all come at a great cost, both personally and professionally in my life. So much was conditioned into me since a boy, but I was blind to it all. As a man, how am I showing up in my life? Am I present? Do I find myself complaining and blaming others, and everything outside of me for not being at peace with my outcomes? I am the absolute supreme authority over my own life. I am, always will be and always have bee the cause of how "I" experience my life. If I don't like whats happening in my life personally or professionally, it is up to me to find ways to change this. It starts with holding myself accountable, and stop treating myself as a human pinata, mercifully bashing myself and judging myself being my own worst enemy! We heal, learn and grow in community not in isolation. It takes courage to go inward and take a look at all the dark nooks and crannies of the things I have pushed down, hidden and denied for so many years. Shining light on it all starts this most meaningful journey I as a human could take. The Hero's journey. How many of you men, no matter how much success you may create, suffer in isolation? Suffer internally? Do not know how to express your true emotions for fear of being called many of the things we were conditioned into us as boys? Here is Tony Porter's TED talk on this: https://lnkd.in/eypTJVKS How many of us men have people we can really speak to what's really going on inside us? How many of you women out there wished your man could get more emotionally in touch with his feelings and know how to communicate them? How can I be a better leader? Better father, friend, manager, coach, husband, business owner, etc.? It all starts with internal world and having outlets where we feel safe to express them. For me, my journey began by answering the call at a New Warrior Training Adventure a few years ago. I am proud to be a member of The Mankind Project. It has changed my life for the better. It cracked the door open and once I saw what the other side could be (Accountability, Integrity, Healing and Emotionally Literacy) I could never go back to my "old operating" system. We want to make the world a better place, It starts with me the individual. Finding the right person(s), group or organization to have that "safe" space, is critical and needed. What say you?

I have learned over the many years as a personal trainer, mentor and in my personal development journey, that I am no longer in the "Convincing Business". I can apply this to my personal life as well. Everyone experiences life through their own lens. My work is to allow each person their space to be where they are and respect it, even though I may not agree with it. That's ok! It free's me up of having to be "right" and remain open to all points of view. I heard a colleague many years when speaking of developing young athletes: "My job is to keep flicking the switch until ultimately the light bulb turns on for them". Personally and professionally can I continue to show up with presence, intent, and purpose, all while giving each person the space to have their experience and come to any conclusion on their own? It takes the pressure off that's for sure. What do you think?

I see how sometimes I let others opinions affect me and my energy, knocking me off my center or power. Which then in turn creates doubt and me not trusting myself. Who I see myself as internally is crucial. My inner (thoughts, words, intentions) world must match my outer actions. Do I love who I see in the mirror? Who I am and evolving into? Being aware of how I'm showing up both personally and professionally each and everyday is my recipe for success. Who are you identifying with today?

Becoming an entrepreneur of my life both personally and professionally I have learned that if I'm not being the "Lead actor" in my life and allowing others to dictate what I should do, feel, not do, not feel, etc., then I will never truly know for myself. Life is full of uncertainties, but the only thing I can control are my thoughts/attitude (How I show up each day) and my efforts. Being a "Pleaser" and playing it safe I have found has only made me contract and stay fixed in my life as opposed to allowing myself to "fail forward". If I'm always playing it safe, how will I ever experience true growth? This is a lifelong process, one that at times makes me feel very uncomfortable! Which informs me that I am right where I need to be. Thoughts?
