The value of investing in mindfulness; allowing the magic of compounding to guide the trajectory of your well-being
What You Repeatedly Do In Secret Will One Day Speak Loudly In Public
Are you investing your time and energy in things that will compound in the years to come? The same way you automate your investments financially, we must do the same with stillness and solitude.
It takes a long time to get good at something, which is why it’s important to begin as early as possible — so we can grow and begin to feel the compounding benefits of the work over time.
The Most Productive Thing You Can Do Is Learn To Be Still Before The World Asks You To Move
Invest five minutes of stillness before heading out and engaging in your day. Connect to a higher power. Tap into your higher self. Create and visualize the day going perfectly, and leave space for unexpected gifts.
This can look like prayer, moments of silence, or standing before the mirror affirming that you are a spirit undergoing a human experience — not the other way around.
This small decision to connect with the infinite part of yourself will create dividends of undisturbed centeredness throughout the entire day. Practiced regularly, it shapes a version of you that is more graceful, more rooted in how reality truly works. A day where you are not dragged around by the ego into places of lack and unworthiness. Instead, you know exactly how to be. You feel — and trust — that all is well.
The Rich Get Richer Not By Luck But Because Growth, Left Uninterrupted, Has No Ceiling
“Compound interest is a wonderful thing to have on your side and a terrible thing to have working against you.” — Shad Rowe
This is the Matthew Principle in action: to the one who has, more shall be given. To the one who has not, even what little remains shall be taken away.
The invitation is to consciously position ourselves — through small, intentional daily decisions — on the side of growth. Increase your capacity to learn by gently testing your limits. Not through harshness, but through curiosity. Ask yourself: why am I thinking about myself this way right now? Is what I’m doing right now leading me closer to my highest possible good?
You Are Either Slowly Building A Ladder Or Quietly Digging Your Own Grave
If we are not growing toward our ideal, we are slowly spiraling downward — much like quicksand. The longer we choose willful blindness, the harder it becomes to climb out toward liberation. So choose the seemingly hard things while they are still easy. Daily exercise. Flossing. Writing the thousand words and putting them out.
Soon enough, your practice will have compounded into mastery. What once took three hours becomes twenty minutes, and with far more proficiency. Choose to delay out of perfectionism or excuses, and you will have become the great writer who never wrote anything.
There are two lives within you — the one you are living, and the one unlived.
Inside Every Ordinary Person Lives An Extraordinary Being Waiting For Permission To Exist
What is your full, true potential? The acorn contains the oak tree. The caterpillar contains the butterfly. But not all of them blossom to the full.
It is in our moment-to-moment choices that we sculpt the David from the marble. You carry within you all the wisdom of every sage and all the courage of every warrior who has ever lived. People have fought great wars, crossed vast lands, and survived the wild. Whatever problem sits in front of your laptop or inside your household can be resolved — if you stand up and face it as it truly is.
A Life Examined With Honesty Is The Beginning Of A Life Transformed With Intention
You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. — Darren Hardy
What have you been doing this month that is producing results you actually want? Our lives are made of moments — an eternal now. Audit the quality of your existence across relationships, physicality, mentality, and spirituality. Rate each one from one to ten.
Then adjust these four levers:
What am I going to do more of?
What am I going to do less of?
What am I going to start?
What am I going to stop?
This practice helps carve the path forward without being so drastic that it pushes you past your edge.
The Smooth Road That Requires Nothing Of You Will Eventually Ask For Everything
The moment you wake up, the ego is already talking — never shutting up about how things should be. Your duty is to maintain space between the chattering mind and your infinite spirit.
Watch when you are being led toward the easy route. The path of least resistance will leave you crooked. The easy way today becomes the hard way down the road, and time will run regardless. If you do not schedule the things needed for you to flourish, if you do not pay attention to what truly matters — it will wither, atrophy, and dissolve into entropy.
Don’t be afraid to be embarrassed, to make mistakes, to fail. The idiot is the precursor to the savior.
Your Deepest Longing Is Not A Distraction — It Is A Direction
Where is spirit calling you to go? What does the best version of yourself look like — how does it behave, produce, smile, influence?
You are in the perfect position to become what you most long to be. That longing is the spirit crying out for existence and expression. If expressed, it will save you. If not, it will be the end of you. I did not make that up — a man named Saint Thomas did.
Never be afraid of anything but your own poor decision to not wake up to the truth of what you are, and what you could be.
