We've all been there, hitting send on an anger-fueled text that we immediately regret. In a fit of I'm angry and want to let it out, I smashed send on a clever mocking of an acquaintance’s uncanny resemblance to a circus clown. My hyper focus blinded my sensibility to realize it was a) stupid and, b) being sent to the person, not my intended friend. Instant karma. I was still pulling my heart off the ground when I heard the ping of the response. Good ol' Abraham Lincoln learned a similar valuable lesson before he learned the big secret of dealing with people.

A life is full of hidden surprises vying for our precious time. It's easy to forget their power as the results don't immediately stop. Like a pin prick in an air mattress. It will hold for a while, but with use will be flat in no time. Feeling drained builds until you’re stuck thinking there’s zero you can do about it.

Ever had one of those moments where a life lesson long time coming fits into place? You finally understand the lesson, which now feels like Ohhhh the square peg goes in the square hole. Life never gets easier, you just get stronger. It’s what makes for a rich life.

Are you waiting for the perfect moment to make a change in your life? I'll start a diet in the fall, I'll start exercising January 1st, I'll start writing a book when I have free time, I'll quit (insert vice) after my birthday. The list is endless. We all have countless desires that sit on dusty shelves. What would you be capable of if you could stop procrastinating?

I wake up each morning and see the world through a lens with me as the protagonist. You feel the same way about yourself. You are the centre of your world. The world revolves around us, regardless of how altruistic, generous and selfless a person we are (or think we are). Everyday is, quite literally, about how we encounter the world. So if you want to get rid of fear once and for all, be the hero you were born to be.

In Tim Ferriss's 300+ podcast interviews, he's pulled insights from the world's greatest thinkers. All in the hopes of distilling the tactics, routines, and habits of billionaires, icons and world-class performers into lessons that the rest of us can use. Tim noticed that patterns started to emerge for what makes these people successful. The one that rules them all is that 80% of the world-class performers he's interviewed have a daily meditation or mindfulness practice.
