There are times in life when we all feel like we’re never going to be able to bring the huge, oversized cracker home with us.

The cracker could be anything. Finding financial success, personal fulfillment, or the man/woman of your dreams.

Whatever it is that you’re pursuing, take a lesson from this mouse, and don’t give up until you get it.

#TBT to the @GQ Men Of The Year party in 2017...wait, 5 years ago?!

Fun fact: I had no idea I was going to be attending this event when I left the house, hence the sub-par outfit. But, I WAS wearing red shoes. 💪

Gentlemen, 5 reasons you should smile more: 1. Sm

Gentlemen, 5 reasons you should smile more:

1. Smiling is a mood booster.

When you smile, there are neurological changes that happen in your brain that actually change your mood for the better. Since, then, most people will smile back at you, you're able to put them into a better mood immediately without them even knowing it.

They'll associate you with positive feelings and be more welcoming to you.

2. A smile represents confidence.

Unless it's an awkward "get me out of here" smile, you'll notice that the people in social situations who are most active are smiling and engaging with other people around them. Nobody wants to interact with a scowl.

3. A smile is attractive.

The female brain is wired to read facial expressions and non verbal communication far more efficiently than the male brain. If you can signal comfort and safety early in an interaction, you've got a far better chance at continuing to build attraction.

4. A smile is good for your career.

Consider the last time you purchased something from a person. Now imagine having the option to buy the same product at the same price, but from 2 different people. Who do you choose?

My guess is the person who is friendlier and more likeable will get your business.

5. Life is just too short not to.

Look around at people on their commute, or having their lunch, or sitting at the bar. There are so many unhappy and miserable people simply passing the hours of their life, it's a tragic epidemic.

Do not fall into the trap of wasting this unique life you've got to live. This world you've got to explore. The knowledge you can absorb.

Smile more, and you'll very often notice life smiling back.

Look at this photo. When you think of a #writer, is this what you think of?

I have always refused to fit into a mold, it never made sense to me. Humans are complex and varied animals who are far too interesting be defined by a label or put into a category.

You are not just a "fill in the blank."

I strive to be many things, not all of which "normally" go together.

This is why the concept of "identity" is so tricky. How is it that you define yourself?

I believe you can be multi-faceted and build a rich and interesting life by doing so.

When I sit to write or stand on a stage, I want my words to flow freely over the audience as they become absorbed and learned from. I want to grasp and hold attention.

When I am alone with my girlfriend I want my presence to be passionate, loving, calming, and affectionate.

When I am with family I want to be the loving son and brother they recognize.

When I am with the girls I want to be a solid and positive role model.

When I am in the gym I want to be relentless.

When I am at an event I want to be charming, bright, dynamic, and memorable.

Different areas of life require different pieces to show up.

Each of these pieces must be cultivated individually. Developing skills in one area does not necessarily translate to the next.

You can be great at one, and suck at another. They're all a work in progress.

However, I believe if we can establish habits and routines that serve us, we can build and transform ourselves into the person we know we are capable of becoming.

Do not let society tell you who you "should" be or what you "should" do.

Express yourself. Be loud. Be bright. Make an impact. Be remembered.

Or, enjoy peace and serenity. Simplicity. Solitude.

It matters not who YOU decide to become.

It only matters that YOU are the one to choose it.

This is your story. Nobody else's.

It's not who you're "meant" to be with, it's who y

It's not who you're "meant" to be with, it's who you CHOOSE to be with.

Of course the goal should be finding someone you're compatible with, but at the end of the day a relationship consists of two people who have their own opinions, wants, needs, desires, and values.

Some of these will align, some of them won't. This is true no matter how compatible you are.

You'll disagree, annoy each other, have things about each other that you don't like...

Any couple that tells you otherwise is lying to you.

Nobody makes it 10, 20, 30, 40+ years unless they BOTH DECIDE to. The hope is that they decide for *the right reasons.*

So if you're looking for the person it all lines up with, you'll never find them.

Instead, CHOOSE someone who also CHOOSES you. No amount of love or compatibility matters if a person doesn't WANT to continue the relationship.

Choose someone who DECIDES to commit to you, decides to work through things, decides to communicate, compromise, and collaborate.

You can create compatibility if you prioritize these things (MUTUALLY).

No, you shouldn't try to fit a square peg in a round hole, but you do need to recognize the reality of relationships, which is that they are built over time, not simply fallen into.

Staying together is a choice. Fully accepting your partner is a choice.

You don't "fall" in love, you choose to build it together.

If you ask me, that creates a stronger foundation than expecting to find something by random chance and just hoping it works out.

If you both commit to choosing each other every day despite the difficulties, that's what makes it work.

Rejection has empowered me to do everything I've done in this life.

Get socially rejected, build a social media audience of hundreds of thousands of people.

Get rejected from jobs, generate an income as a solopreneur.

Get rejected by major publications, become the #1 writer out of hundreds of thousands on major platforms, and generate over 40 million visitors to my own website.

Get rejected from book publishers, self publish a book.

Get rejected from speaking engagements, create my own events.

I have failed, fallen short, been broke, NEARLY quit - MANY, MANY times. And I still have lightyears to go before I'll feel secure in these accomplishments, but I've accepted that each future goal will be accomplished the same way the past ones have. Through simply refusing anything less.

I believe that we can choose to re-frame everything that happens to us into an opportunity and learning experience once we are able to move past the self-pity phase.

If you allow other people to decide what you're worth and what you're "allowed" to do, you'll always be operating within the confines of other people's permission.

If you choose your path for yourself, then there are no rules, no restrictions, and no limits

That is when you become Limitless.
