But guess what? They're not. Not. Even. Close. On today's episode of Quest For Clarity, we discuss how to find certainty in yourself and discover the diamond in the dark (t...

We are not meant to live our lives looking in the rearview mirror. We're not! How are we supposed to move forward while we look back? However, I recognize that our pasts can sometimes hold us back, can limit our movement forward, so it's worth looking back and analyzing the situation there. That's what today's episode is all about. Let's use our past and the positive mindsets to leave what no longer serves us and leverage what does. It can truly change your life. Need some help with this? That's...

Sometimes the simplest strategies are the most effective. Whatever the challenge may be, no matter the strategy, the key to success is staying calm and WANTING to achieve. This isn't news to you. It’s also no secret that life is busy, people feel stress and life feels like it happens ‘to’ us, sometimes. The result is we feel like we overflowing or struggling to keep our heads above the water and it feels like a relief to lash out at people and offload some stress, every now and again. But is tha...

You know that philosophical question that nobody has the answer for? The one that goes, "what came first, the chicken or the egg?" If you think about it, it's a pretty big question to ask because at the root of the question is this concern of are we developed as fully formed beings or do we grow into what we become? Is the future of who we are already predetermined for us (chicken) or do we grow into it (egg)? Yeah. It's a bit stressful. But let's scale it all back to the root of the Quest For C...

Whether you are old enough to understand a reference to Monty Python or not, if you are on any kind of personal Quest in life, you have likely wondered about the meaning of your life.
