How to Generate Infinite Possibilities

Anyone who is on my mailing list knows that I end my emails with the phrase, “anything is possible”. It’s a nice little reminder to me, and hopefully to everyone else, that we live in a universe of infinite possibilities.

But it’s all too easy to forget this fact. It’s all too easy to get caught up in the illusion of limitation—that we are stuck with whatever we have in life.

So what do you do when you seem stuck? What do you do when life isn’t giving you the options you want?

You generate new options, obviously. Today’s post will show you how.… Read More »

What Does It Take to Get Ahead?

For many just starting out on their journey to financial security, money can feel like a never-ending treadmill, where you are always struggling to get ahead. I’ve heard such comments as, “I can never seem to catch a break,” “I always feel broke,” etc. “Getting ahead” won’t just happen one day, though. It’s something you… Read More »

Branching Off

This has been a year of huge changes for me. I’ve been trying to figure out where exactly I’m supposed to go, and what exactly I want to do.

And while I might not know 100% of that vision yet, a lot more of it has become clear to me.

I’ve struggled for months to make a particular decision, because I was afraid of how it would impact both myself and others. It’s been months of clarifying and re-clarifying what exactly I’m meant to be doing, and the best way to carry that out.

And today’s post is to finally make that public and put it all out there.… Read More »

Soon enough on this blog I’ll be getting into all the practical steps of building wealth: creating a budget, saving your emergency fund, investing, and more. But in the beginning, there’s a step that I believe you need to take before all others. This step was almost single-handedly responsible for me finally starting to have… Read More »

Falling in Love with Mundane Life

A lot of times as spiritual people, we create this divide between spirituality and mundane life. We want to be special, to do our own thing, to not be confined to the daily grind of the 9-5.

So we meditate, we go to workshops, we listen to channeled messages from other-worldly beings. We do what we can to make life feel mysterious—even magical. Perhaps we even start up a business sharing our insights with others, or trying to help others in some way.

And hey, it works sometimes. There are lots of successful spiritual business owners doing what they love and making their spirituality their life.

But there are even more who fail. There are countless people trying and failing to make something meaningful (to them) of their lives, and feeling like they have failed. Mundane life reasserts its hold.

I always hated the Zen saying that goes: “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.” I’d prefer it say something more like, “After enlightenment, go on wonderful, magical adventures and bring your knowledge to the world.” The actual saying always just seemed pointless and depressing.

I hated it, once upon a time. I no longer do, because I saw something vital to my own peace: mundane life is the totality. It’s the whole point. It’s wonderfully spiritual and special and purposeful, and I’ve found a way to fall in love with just normal, ordinary, day-to-day life. I’ve found a way to be satisfied with chopping wood and carrying water, and not need anything more than that.… Read More »
