Taking a moment to be grateful before meals has been one of the more important daily practices I do. It shifts me out of autopilot, turns eating into a ritual, and reminds me of the blessing it is to have food in front of me. Pause before your next meal. Take one deep breath, and name five things you’re grateful for. Chew your food a little slower and longer and see if you notice a difference.

My life is clearly superior when I’m training a martial art three times per week versus when I’m not. I recommend trying ten brazilian jiu-jitsu classes in a month if you’re new. Brotherhood, confidence building, functional movement, self-defense, and a competitive outlet. It’s good stuff.

How are you going to get where you want to go if all you do is stay inside your comfort zone? Start stepping out little by little and begin to bet on yourself more and more. Your daily habits have a major impact on shaping who you become.

Be the example of the change you want to see in the world. People rarely change because you tell them to. Unsolicited advice almost never works. They change when they see something in you that inspires them. Embody the values you want to spread and others will naturally get curious & follow.

I’ve met a few people recently who have told me once they’re more successful, or once they make more money, then they’ll be happy. I feel they’re missing one key point. Because money is just energy, it’s really good at amplifying who you really are deep down. If you’re unhappy without money, it’s likely you’ll also be unhappy with money once the initial high wears off. The trick is to find the blessings in your life that you currently have. What do you have now in your life that you always wanted? Think of 5-10. Focus on your attention on these things in your life. This will put you in a state of gratitude, love, and joy. From there, not only will you find it easier to attract more money into your life, but once it does come, it will just amplify the frequency you’re now in, and the positive feedback loop will continue with more gratitude.

The less you need, the more you end up attracting. It all comes back to your energy. Abundance flows to those who already feel full.

Take more walks > 90 minutes with no phone. Your mind clears, your nervous system resets, and ideas start flowing again.

The way someone treats you when they have nothing to gain is the truest reflection of how they feel about you. Pay close attention to those moments. This is where you see someone’s genuine respect, care, or lack thereof.

If you truly want to be free today, the only person you need to focus on impressing is yourself. The moment you start caring what others think of you is the moment you lose. Victory is measured in self-mastery.

Do not become like the people who hurt you. Show others the kindness you wish you received. Love is the the real victory and the best revenge.

I’ve noticed if I’m tempted to use my phone after 8pm, then it’s because I didn’t work hard enough or play hard enough that day. If I did both, I have zero interest in looking at it. Anyone else notice the same?

In Australia, I can be driving 75mph in a 65mph zone, and I’ll collect three $500 tickets from speed cameras in 30 minutes. In the USA, I can be driving 75mph in a 65mph zone, and I’ll watch three cops pass me at 85mph in 30 minutes.

Happy Saturday everyone ☀️ Don’t forget to smile in your community and be a beacon of light. The positivity & kindness you spread today will be reflected right back to you. Enjoy! 🧘‍♂️

The values you live by shape your life. Shallow values like pleasure and status have a higher chance of leading to emptiness. Deeper values like growth, honesty, and love have a higher chance of creating meaning, fulfillment, and lasting impact.

Speak less than you think. The more you explain, the more you dilute your message. Silence creates gravity. Let your discipline, results, and presence do the talking. They can’t be faked.

If someone slowly starts wanting more and more physical things from you, be wary. Your presence, energy, and time are already highly valuable. Remember, your worth isn't measured by what you can give, but by who you are.

I’m always amazed how much better I feel after forgiving someone for what they did.

Meditation really is one of the greatest tools we have available to us 24/7. Keep your eyes closed, observe your thoughts and allow to come and go as if you are checking your spam email. Keep the breath flowing in and out your nose, slow and steady. Aim for 15 minutes to start. Go longer as you start to build up the tolerance. Enjoy the amazing benefits this practice brings your mind. Much love.
