A Stranger's Prayer
What is it about a stranger’s prayer that is so powerful? If you’re going through one of those troubled times in your life, a friend’s word of advice and encouragement are always beneficial. When you tell a stranger your problems and he/she becomes a selfless helping hand, it triggers an emotional part of you that can’t be described by words. I can vouch for that, for I...

Keepin' it Simple
If you want it, go get it. If the door closes, another one will open. He has a plan for you, you just need to put in the work. Live your truth. Failure is a catalyst for profound reinvention.

The Cure for Exhaustion
… I said suddenly, out of nowhere, almost beseechingly, “Brother David, speak to me of exhaustion. Tell me about exhaustion.” And then he said a life-changing thing. “You know,” he said, “the antidote to exhaustion is not necessarily rest.” “What is it then?” “The antidote to exhaustion is wholeheartedness. You’re so exhausted...

While the other guys’ eating, I’m working.” - Will Smith I obviously have an obsession with researching influential pioneers of our modern time.

Life Whispers...
Can you recall the last moment in your life when you felt that something just isn’t right? If you looked at your life objectively from a third-person’s perspective, would you say that you’re happy and living out your truth? More importantly, do you believe in living out your dreams? If your answer is yes, no, maybe, or I’m not sure — then hopefully this quote will...

It's Your Choice
Today…
Will you choose to be happy? Or dwell on all the negative aspects of your life?
Will you choose to follow your dreams? Or live someone else’s?
Will you count all your blessings? Or count all your misfortunes?
Will you do it now? Or do it later?
Will you challenge yourself? Or be comfortable?
Will you make the right choice? Or the wrong one?
In the end, it’s your...

Once a Dreamer, Always a Dreamer
Tomorrow is the big day! I will officially be walking through the door into the event production/experiential marketing/brand consulting world in the entertainment industry!

It’s just a way for me to...
