What Beliefs Are You Choosing?
Dealing with negative beliefs is something everyone struggles with at some point or another. And for some of us, it’s a regular struggle.

Believing that we can’t is what keeps us from moving forward and reaching our potential.

Growing Into Consistency
Have you ever had a clear picture of a goal, but lacked the motivation to keep working toward it? Chances are, I know your answer to that question.

Then there are days when we really just don’t want to push forward, but we do it anyway. That’s discipline.

The Average of the Five Around You
You’ve probably heard this phrase before: “You are the average of the five people you surround yourself with the most.” (Often attributed to Jim Rohn.) Your environment plays a big role in who you become in life. And a key part of your environment is who you surround yourself with.

The Law of the Rubber Band
Growth is often uncomfortable. I love reading personal and professional growth books, and one that we talk about a lot at Built on Purpose is John Maxwell’s The 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth. In his book, Maxwell provides a helpful analogy of growth via a rubber band. He points out that similar to a rubber band, we need to stretch to grow.

What's in a Miracle Morning?
I've had many flavors of a morning routine over time. Some routines I've enjoyed and valued more than others. But for a year or so, I've felt dissatisfied with my mornings. Recently, though, The Miracle Morning has revitalized my routine.

Stop Trying to Find Time
Time isn't something you can find. Yet, we often convince ourselves that we can't do certain things because we can't "find" the time. Have you ever said this to yourself or someone else?

Have you ever been meeting, collaborating, or chatting with someone who seemed a little “off” from their norm? If you work with the same people regularly, you know what I mean. Sometimes you can just tell when they aren’t “themselves” in some way.

Work-Life Balance. It’s an often mystical target for many. The idea most people have is that of a two-sided scale.
