Compassion, kindness, joy, laughter, playfulness, light-heartedness, wonder and awe don’t simply feel good—they’re also a neurobiological recipe for wellbeing and longevity.

You were never meant to live your life based on survival-based stories. You are an amazing being who can create your life and live from that unshakable place of strength within. You are in this world to step out of those false stories and empower others to do the same so they can experience the simple joy of being alive—right now, in this very body.

When we cling too tightly to any of our roles or beliefs about who we should be or how we should live our lives, we cause ourselves unnecessary mental suffering. But the wonderful news is that there’s a way to go beyond letting outside circumstances and expectations disrupt our peace.

Happiness, contentment, peace and confidence aren’t meant to be a destination at the end of a draining journey—rather they’re qualities we can learn to tap into even in the most mundane moments.

You are not your thoughts or your emotions. You are the one who holds the power to use them as tools to create your dream life.

It’s in the pursuit of your dreams that the strength of your character is shaped and that your radiance shines most.

If you spend your days chasing after society’s definition of success instead of creating your own, you may be setting yourself up for a life with very little meaning and fulfillment, wondering why every day feels like a rut; as if you’re constantly living to survive instead of thriving.

Every time you feel gratitude, you’re reminding your brain to look for more ways to be grateful. As you bask in noticing life’s abundance, your body rewards you with serotonin, oxytocin and dopamine - boosting your immunity and energy.

Following the herd may have been the path of least resistance in the past - but you weren’t born to do that. When the herd isn’t heading in the direction of the world you want to see, you mustn’t be afraid to go against it, because future generations will rely on your courage and vision.
