“You yourself,
as much as anyone in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection”
– Buddha

Love yourself and the world loves you back!

Awareness of thoughts is a key factor in our overall peace and happiness.
Thoughts are not always facts.
As long as we confuse thoughts with facts, we act upon illusions without knowing they are illusions. We can only start to see thoughts for what they are when we cease to identify with them.

Your “Why” comes from within you. It is a feeling that compels you to do the work you want to do even if it requires short-term sacrifice.
You’ll struggle with thoughts of self-doubt. … Regardless of those sacrifices, you still feel driven to pursue the work you really want to do because it gives you meaning.

When you’re in alignment you feel so clear and purposeful about your life. You are happy in the moment and excited for the future. You feel fulfilled and whole.
Finding alignment and remaining alignmed is all part of the journey!

This week’s RYZ was a 6am, dark and very cold (-13C), weighted hill sprint and breathwork session. After thawing out, caffeinating, and giddy from the afterglow, Rod and I speed through another unedited discussion, this time around intentions.
Are you living with intention? Are you moving in the right direction each and every day in alignment with your goals and purpose? When we live with pure intention, we tend to be real, genuine, and authentic.
