Sometimes I think detours are a gift from the Universe. Sometimes I think detours are provided to us on purpose just so we have more time to think things through. It’s normal to get impulsive, overzealous, and down right impatient in this fast-paced world, but rushing into something too quickly often results in regret. This…

Water From a Dry Well
Often times we go in search of love outside ourselves. We forget that no one can love us exactly the way we like to be loved – but us. Know that when you aren’t getting “heard” the way you need to be from another, it may actually mean that you are not accepting the fact…
Daydream
One of the most powerful things I’ve learned is that it is not action that creates, but our thoughts. Thus, the more time we spend consciously, mindfully, and attentively directing our thoughts, the better outcomes we produce in our lives. This is why I personally believe that daydreaming is more important than meditation. Because, in…
You’re Already Where You Need to Be
You’re already clear; you’re already where you need to be. Everything you’ve ever thought about, wished for, and desired has gotten you to this point. So don’t beat yourself up if today you are confused about everything. You’re still on the right track. Be gentle with yourself. Allow yourself to have a “blank” day. It’s…
Stating the Obvious
We need to state the obvious for ourselves more than anyone else. When we hear ourselves reiterate our own philosophies time and time again, we start to trust ourselves more; we start to trust the stuff we come up with. And it doesn’t matter if you didn’t come up with the phrase or you’re not…
People Don’t Think the Worst of You
More often than not, they’re thinking the best of you. Don’t let your projections hold you back from being yourself. Don’t let fears of unreal things keep you small. The best advice I ever got was, “Just be yourself.” And it’s taken me years to figure out what that means. From childhood, we take on…
You are Only Selfish if You do not Give Your Gifts Away
Insecurities plague us all. Many of us do not know what we want or even what gifts we have. So we go through life numbing ourselves just to get by. It is painful to stuff our abilities down and it is no surprise we “check out.” But the real truth is, the pain subsides when…
I Don’t Know
Three wonderful words. For when spoken, they express humility; one of the most attractive characteristics a human being can possess. It implies being open, humble, and honest. Not sugarcoating, not lying, not pretending to know more than you do, just laying it all out there that you… don’t… know. It opens the flood gates for…
It’s Just a Phase
This too shall pass; don’t worry, everything changes. I often find myself repeating these phrases when I get into a rut. Sometimes you just can’t push the river, you’ve got to go at its pace. Unless of course, you like struggling and going upstream. I used to be an upstream traveler myself. I use to…
Why “The Professional Experiencer”?
When I was 23, I was a flight attendant for United Airlines. And during this time, I often got asked the question, “So, what do you do?” I’d smile and respond, “I am a flight attendant.” But in the back of my mind a little voice would pipe up and say, “You are a Professional…
