The News Media Blackout has done great damage to the ability of average Americans (and even news junkies like myself) to get real and useful information about what is going on. In this fiercely contested election of 2020, President Trump has still not conceded defeat, and he still seems to believe that there is a way […]
Attorney General William “Bill” Barr has shown himself to be one of President Trump’s very best picks through the course of his first Presidential term of office. This very measured, very calm man has a gift of making legal sense out of chaotic and otherwise very passion-filled situations. It is certainly the truth that presently in the United States there are many highly passion-filled situations taking place simultaneously, and in fact, these are intertwined.
I’m honored to say a few words in support of the Book of Joy, published today. The Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu share with us how to live a life of joy in the face of adversity. They show that joy and compassion will always win over anger, fear, and despair. A perfect message for these challenging times.

What is joy for you? Here’s my take.
The sad reality is that many people fail to achieve their goals. Whether it’s a mission to shed 10 pounds, or change your career path, many of us continually fail to ‘follow through’ on these self-promises. Thankfully, there are ways to ‘hack’ your mind and set yourself up to succeed in following these goals.
Here’s my #1 ‘mind trick’ to help you do so:
It’s easy to get caught up in the stressful nature of your job, relationships, financial struggles, and virtually any other aspect of modern life. That’s why it’s essential to mentally ‘ground’ yourself on a daily basis by what I call ‘remembering your humanity.’
What do I mean by this? Well, as I detail in the video above, there’s a number of ways that we can kind of ‘ground’ ourselves by simply interacting with the world. One of the best ways is to be around nature.
What’s the number one threat to your success and happiness in life? It’s not unexpected life events, or even financial crisis. Instead, it comes down to others telling you that you can’t live your passion. It comes down to what I call ‘toxic relationships.’
I’ll never forget the story about the mother of a friend of mine, whose singing career was ruined by the toxic actions of one heckler. While she was, in fact, a beautiful singer, she relied heavily upon the opinions of others to tell her whether or not she was ‘good enough.’
