What are the things that leave you feeling inspired?
Is it a particular type of film? Certain books? A good talk? An interactive conversation?
We’re all inspired in different ways. Sadly though, we all far too often not inspired at all.
We get sucked into the daily repetitive rhythms of life and forget to dream, imagine, and explore.

I meet a lot of people who – whether directly or indirectly – say that their lives are boring and mundane. In fact, these seems to be the prevalent condition for most people. And, truth be told, we all face times when our lives like this. Not only that, they’ll always been some aspects of [...]

It’s the start of a new week and you have a choice. Are you going to just let the week drift by, or are you going to choose to make the most of it, learn from it, and grow through it?
Many of us are frustrated that we have a very mundane life. Life is nothing [...]

I love movies.
Making them.
Watching them.
Critiquing them.
I love everything about the whole process of story telling on celluloid. I come to learn that most great stories have three main characters: a victim, a villain and a hero. We have the Villain tying someone [...]

You need to make sure you don’t miss the primary plot for your life by getting too caught up in the sub-plots. This is what came out of my mouth during a conversation with a friend yesterday.
My friend is at a point in her life where she’s trying to figure all kinds of things out.
