Political violence has a deep-rooted history in the United States. In 1804, Aaron Burr shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel after a series of written correspondences over politics led to a formal challenge. As recently as 2015, a political disagreement led to a woman killing one of her friends with a slow cooker. None of this is acceptable in a modern democracy. Full stop.

Spring cleaning your life isn’t about achieving some unrealistic state of perfect organization. It’s about creating space – physical, mental, and emotional space. It’s about making room for the things that truly matter, the things that bring us joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. How you go about doing that is your call. Your life, your rules.

Voting. It’s the cornerstone of our democracy and a means for us to shape the communities in which we live and work. We should be thrilled to express our values, beliefs, and aspirations for our country each year as we cast our vote at the ballot box. But are we thrilled with our options?

Many years ago, I was asked the question: “What can you do?” At the time I was taken aback by the question. I think it may have been a combination that I wasn’t ready for the question, and “I don’t know you. Your energy is abrasive.” Upon reflection and given my ways of extreme ownership, whatever the reason, it’s on me. I’m not immune to projection. What I know now is that it’s not only great to be able to answer the question, “What can you do?” should others ask, but it’s great for your own practice of reflection, growth, and evolution.

Imagine life as a vast, untamed forest. Paths wind and twist, some leading to sun-dappled vistas with extraordinary views, others to impassable, tangled, and muddy undergrowth where a dead end awaits. At a crossroads we stand. Motivation fades quickly when the purpose was never clear. This is where a stated purpose keeps us going, a compass guiding us towards the path that resonates with our deepest desires, leading us to fulfill our own unique potential.

Last week I thought I was having a heart attack. I was immediately overwhelmed with emotion analyzing the warning signs. The entire sequence of events that afternoon was alarming. I immediately left the office and sought care at an urgent care facility where my vitals were quickly tested and a precautionary EKG was administered. All of my vitals game back normal.

I want you to do better in 2024! I know you probably have some awesome fantastic fitness goals. You probably have some professional and financial goals as well. If you’re late to the game, it’s ok – January is definitely a free trial month. But before you go putting the cart in front of the horse. I want to call a timeout.

I’m here to talk about failure. Bitter on the front end, and only sweetens a varying degree when washed down with a lot of reflection. The ignominious, non-motivational kind of failure that never leads to an eventual triumph and highlight reel. I’m talking about the raw, gut-punching kind that leaves you staring at the finish line you never crossed, watching someone else live your dream.
