You develop self-respect through actions and behaviors which support your values and match your blueprint. In other words, if you are behaving in a way that is aligned with your standards, you will naturally respect yourself. We often look at other people and ask for or demand respect. If we don't get it, we blame them. We feel like they should respect us when in fact, respect starts with you and with what you decide to tolerate. Respect shows in what you eat, how you take care of your body, how...

One of my good friends once said: "If we didn't have all the lows in life, the highs wouldn't seem so high." The main problem with hitting rock bottom is our expectation that we shouldn't be in this situation at the first place. This idea of pain-free life creates suffering which doesn't allow us to see the benefits and lessons. Pain isn't optional but suffering is. Can you imagine that you look at your biggest pains and feel grateful? How this approach can empower your mindset and change your p...

Often, it's not discomfort itself that causes pain but also our perception of what discomfort represents for us. If we see discomfort as a burden, we will suffer. If we see it as a currency, we can learn to manage practically anything from losing weight, building a business, improving our financial situation and the list goes on. Some of the bigge...

One of the well-respected coaches once said: "When you change the way how you see the world, your world changes."

The most common reason people give up on their dreams and goals is that they love the reward but not the process. Many of us have this "how-to" mentality.

Every process is unique and often challenging at times. If you want to succeed, if you want to be truly happy and fulfilled, you have to love the process as much as you love the end resul...
