Ever feel stuck?  Bored?  Complacent?

I have – and do often.

I’ve been at the same thing for so long that sometimes it feels like I know all the answers…and even the questions before they’re asked.

The ONLY way to solve this is to change it up.

Be more. Try something new. Get outside of our comfort zone.

Become something different. Just be different, better!

Last week, we launched our first ever podcast. This is what my attempt at new beginnings looks like.

It’s a completely new format for me, a new medium to share my philosophies and experience. To share my life story!

Look, change is not inevitable.

We can play it safe. That’s especially easy to do if we’ve achieved a modicum of success or comfort.

But to truly live and test the boundaries of your potential, change is necessary. Taking on new challenges is a must to feel again.

With my kids, I’m always telling them to take a risk, try something new.  You just never know what good things may come of it.

Push hard and see what one can become.  Don’t be afraid of failure. It’s not an option.

There is only one way forward; and that is taking the very next step into the unknown. And then another, and one more.

This is true in the gym, training for a marathon, business, and in life.

When you want more, you must change more.  Be more.

Wanting that is not a bad thing.

Humans need to feel that challenge, that quickened pulse, that tingle of adrenaline that energizes our entire existence.

That’s the formula for feeling the fire again!
