The Universe is Calling You - Here's How You Know

I think that we all have a purpose in life. Everyone’s purpose isn’t necessarily to be the next Oprah Winfrey or Barack Obama, but we all have a roll in making this world a better place.

I think of the impact each of us have, as individuals, like a drop of water that creates a ripple. The ripple gets bigger and bigger and creates gigantic waves downstream. We each create drops that eventually become waves somewhere downstream in the lives of others.

One of the most difficult questions most of us spend our lives trying to answer is, “What is my purpose?” Sometimes, we look for grandiose answers, when it’s much more simple, and sometimes we allow our fears to block us from what we know we should really be doing in life.

It’s true of most people, who make a great impact on the world, that something exists deep down inside that calls them to do their life’s work. As if an external force is pulling them in the direction they should go.

And when...

Why Your #HotGirlSummer is So Necessary

Issa #HotGirlSummer, and I ain’t talking about the temperature! Megan Thee Stallion has the whole internet talking about having one. Even us guys are getting in on the action and claiming our own #HotBoySummer.

But what is it exactly? According to an interview Houston’s baddest did with The Root, #HotGirlSummer is “…about women and men being unapologetically them, just having a good-ass time, hyping up their friends, doing you”.

Sounds like a good time, right? I love anything that encourages you to be unapologetically you, unless your ass is toxic and you need to be apologetic, but let’s not go there right now. Instead, let’s assume you’re a light to the world. In that case, you need to be having a #HotGirlSummer, Fall, Winter, and Spring!

Here’s why having your #HotGirl or #HotBoy Summer is so necessary:

You put off your own needs for everyone else’s.

Women are notorious for this. Black women are notorious for this....

How to Do What You're Passionate About Every Day

Do you do whatever you’re passionate about every day—for work or in your free time? If your answer is “no”, you’re not alone. Actually, you would be in the majority of people.

As far as careers go, most people aren’t very passionate about their jobs. In fact, a 2017 study by Deloite found that only 13% of people in the US workforce are passionate about what they do for a living.

If you could be doing absolutely anything you want to do every day, without regard for money, what would it be? Wouldn’t doing that make life so much more exciting?

I’m a very firm believer in finding a way to do what you’re passionate about every day. Life is too short to spend the majority of our time doing things we don’t want to do day in and day out, never taking the time to find ways to do what we love to do.

I know that everyone won’t be able to find a way to make money through their passion, and some people are okay with that....

Lori Loughlin is a Great Example of How Limiting Beliefs Cause Us to Fail

 

It’s been all over the news. Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky in the 90s hit sitcom Full House, is in serious legal trouble over her efforts to buy her daughters’ way into college. 

Loughlin and her husband are accused of fraud and money laundering, for allegedly paying $500,000 in bribes to secure admission into USC for their two daughters. I could go on a tangent about how fucked up this is on every level, but I want to limit this conversation to what I’ve been talking about all week in my podcast—limiting beliefs. 

Loughlin’s youngest daughter, Olivia Jade, was a popular vlogger with over 1.9 million subscribers to her YouTube channel and 1.4 million followers on Instagram. She had launched her own makeup products in partnership with the makeup brand, Sephora and had additional partnerships with major brands like Amazon. Olivia had expressed her disinterest in going to college on her YouTube channel when she told followers...
