What A Moment
We are really alive for the briefest moment. Seeing the universe laid out like this really puts things into perspective. It makes me think about how I want to spend my time. It makes me think about what’s important with the time that I do have.

In Season
“Embrace life seasons of growth and reflection without comparing or rushing.
Letting go isn’t giving up; it’s trusting that what’s meant for us will arrive in its own time.
Plant your seeds, tend to them with care, and then watch them grow.”

Ask yourself
What would feel joyful today?
Not in the superficial sense. That deep joy. The kind that comes from alignment.

The Pain of Seeking
(Journal Entry #02)
I feel like I’ve been suffering from the pain of constant seeking lately. It’s felt like my life lost this sense of vibrancy and freshness. Everything I was doing felt desperate and heavy.
Has this ever happened to you?
It took a minute, but I finally realize what was up. I became way too caught up in getting things done and completely lost touch with my presence. My mind was heavily attached to everything that I was doing —constantly thinking about the future and how what I’m doing now is affecting me getting there, constantly thinking about the past and what I could have done differently.
This passage from “The Power of Now” really brought be back:
“Imagine the Earth devoid of human life, inhibited only by plants and animals. Would it still have a past and a future? Could we still speak of time in any meaningful way? The question “What time is it?” Or What’s the date today?” — if anybody were to ask it — would be quite meaningless. The oak tree or the eagle would be bemused by such a question. “What time?” They would ask. “Well, of course, it’s now. The time is now. What is else there?”
Yes, the mind is important to function in this world but it doesn’t need to take over our entire lives. My presence doesn’t have to be constantly reduced to the means of getting to some future moment.
It’s great that I’m ambitious but I also need to surrender.
My soul cares way less about what I achieve and is more interested in how I move through it.
You are not everything you identify yourself with. You are awareness. Let joy be the compass.
Thats basically what I’m telling myself at the moment. Hope it helps someone that sees this.

KYDS (Keep Your Dreams Strong)
A mission-driven project rooted in showing up for the YOUTH in our community—and lifting them up in the best way we know how. The first round of classes was a huge success, and we’re excited to eventually bring more into the schedule.
Connecting with YOUTH has always been part of our core. It’s awesome to now have a bigger, stronger team and solid foundations that allow us to take on meaningful projects like this at Lyfe Cycle.

No Regrets, Just Try
“I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind the failure but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if I didn’t try.”

Group: A Documentary Series
Viewer discretion definitely is advised.
I couldn’t even tell you how I came across this one — digging on the internet gets wild sometimes.
Group therapy has always been something I’ve been curious about. I’ve never had the chance to be part of a professional guided session, but my curiosity has taken me down some rabbit holes. I was looking for local options, then online, then somehow I landed on this real recorded session using a specific approach in guiding participants through.
This documentary made me feel like I was sitting right there in the room. Some moments were uncomfortable. Some had me in tears. Ultimately, it left a strong impression on me and reminded me of something powerful… Our shared humanity isn’t our biggest breakdown– it’s our strongest connection.
(That last statement was from a group at House of Ride that articulated this as their closing statement for the workshop we did.. powerful!)

My first YouTube Video: House of Ride
This one hits different. It was special in a way I can’t fully explain. Shoutout to Harry and Felicia!
It was my first time running classes and workshops in a setting like this. Coaches from all over the world pulled up, creating this “third space” where we could connect, build, and actually learn from each other. No egos. No judgment. Just connection and support.
It wasn’t like being in a studio. And it wasn’t like guest teaching at a studio or special location. There was a different feel to it. I think because of the setting. This was located in a place that seemed like a community center, in a random room, while other people were just living their lives doing whatever activity interest them. Some were working, some grabbing some food, some playing volleyball or basketball. It was all happening around us.
That somehow, made everything even better. It felt open, raw, and real.
Super grateful to have been part of it.

How To Improve A Company
Original source. Tbh these questions are great. They feel very clear to answer and it’s hard to argue that a worthwhile meeting occurred if the answer is no to all of them.
