I hope you realize 2021 won’t magically be your best year ever unless you 1. Take ownership for your actions 2. Change your habits to support your growth 3. Make health & happiness a priority 4. Learn to say no & develop boundaries 5. Surround yourself with positive people.
A healthy relationship is one where two independent people just make a deal that they will help make the other person be the best version of themselves.
It’s extremely rare to find someone that cares about you without another agenda. One that wants to see you achieve your dreams, encourages you to grow and is there through all your mess. Be grateful for those people in your life, and always keep them close!
People who are open-hearted, do therapy to heal their past, take responsibility for their actions, practice healthy habits, and have a positive attitude towards life are my kind of people. Just saying
Life is so precious. It could all be gone in an instant. So be kind to everyone you meet and smile. Most of all, appreciate the life you have and everything that comes your way. Some days are magic and others are opportunities for growth. Both days you have the gift of life!
You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. They are too focused on their dreams and know how hard the journey is. You will only be criticized by someone who isn't achieving their goals and is taking it out on you.

One of the most healing things is when someone goes through many challenging relationships and finally connects with someone who accepts and loves them for who they are and all you feel is peace and harmony. This is a beautiful blessing.
Who knows this feeling?
Please quit overthinking everything. Stop obsessing over your failures. Stop doubting yourself and seeing greatness in everyone else but you. You are better than that. You deserve more. Start showing up differently.
If we can get outside ourselves, and get away from stress for a few moments, we can find the perspective we need.
The core of

Our recent pod:
Don’t chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come and find you and stay. Just do your thing.
The older I get the more I realize it’s not worth being around people that create drama, stress and gossip. It’s much better to surround yourself with people who support you, spread love and want to improve the world around them.
I used to think I was introverted because I enjoyed being alone. But it turns out, I really liked being at peace with myself and my surroundings and I am extremely extroverted with people who bring me comfort and happiness.
Sylvester Stallone was so poor he had to sell his dog because he couldn’t feed him.
He had $106 dollars in the bank and his $40 car had just blown up.

5 things to quit in the final few months of 2020:
1) Trying to please everyone.
2) Fearing change.
3) Living in the past
4) Doubting yourself.
5) Overthinking everything.
You will never be criticized by someone who is doing more than you. They are too focused on their dreams and know how hard the journey is. You will only be criticized by someone who isn’t achieving their goals and is taking it out on you.

I’m so grateful I never listened to the people who told me my dreams were too big. They weren’t too big, those people just thought too small. Keep dreaming my friend!

I don’t think people understand how hard it is to get yourself out of a dark place in your mind. For everyone who did that today, keep going! Be proud of yourself and know there are people that love you and want to see you happy.
STOP WAITING FOR FRIDAY, for summer, for someone to fall in love with you, for life. Happiness is achieved when you stop waiting for it and make the most of the moment you are in now.
Your competition isn’t other people.
Your competition is your procrastination. Your ego. The unhealthy food you’re consuming, the knowledge you neglect. The negative behavior you are nurturing & your lack of creativity.
Compete against that.
Don’t forget to love your life. You were made for more than just pain and stress. Smile at strangers. Do things that bring you joy. Go on adventures with friends. Don’t be afraid to make a fool of yourself and live each moment with gratitude that you get to have another day.

Being married after 30 is still beautiful. Starting a family after 35 is still possible. Buying a house after 40 is still a boss move. Don't let people rush you with their timelines.

“You are the average of the five people you associate with most, so do not underestimate the effects of your pessimistic, unambitious, or disorganized friends. If someone isn’t making you stronger, they’re making you weaker.” - Tim Ferriss
This will be your greatest year ever. All your work will start to pay off. You will earn more, be happier, love deeper and be healthier. It will all manifest because you built better habits, embraced your fears, added more value to others and took massive action on your goals.

It’s been a beautiful week and thanks to everyone who has sent us messages and congratulated us on our engagement!
We are still taking it all in and feeling the love and joy as we continue to grow in our relationship.

5 Ways to Be Happier

I don't think people understand how hard it is to get yourself out of a dark place in your mind. For everyone who did that today, keep going! Be proud of yourself and know there are people that love you and want to see you happy.
Fall in love with someone who needs you, is patient with you, who understands you in times of struggle. Someone who's there to help you, supports your passions, and motivates you to be better every day.
Everything is going to work out perfectly. There is no need to stress and worry about the things you can not control. When you understand everything in your life happens FOR you and not to you, this is the moment everything changes.
Happiness is an inside job. No amount of money, relationships or material things can make you happy. They might bring you moments of joy and pleasure or a sense of freedom, but you still have to BE happy on the inside before and after you have everything you want.
At your funeral no one will talk about:
- your bank account
- your watch collection
- the cars you had
- the number of hours you worked
They will talk about:
- your loyalty
- the positive memories
- how loved you made them feel
- and your generous heart
Remember that.
