THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER

May 13, 2010

When my list is longer than the day I have to complete it,
I’ll take it as another sign that I’m getting everything I’ve asked for
My life is expanding in ways I can’t comprehend
I can either whine about how busy I am, how little time there is
Or I can acknowledge all the treasures around me
The vast [...]

MONDAY MORNING PRAYER

May 10, 2010

I may have not been able to relax much this weekend, but the undeniable rewards of our hard work surround us. There is evidence of progress everywhere. My time with any one individual (including myself) may have been limited, but it was time well-spent, and our impact on one another was powerful. It always is.
And [...]

CAN’T BLOW ME OVER

March 23, 2010

At the end of the day, all we need to ask ourselves is if we’re making choices that support what we truly want, or if we’re creating more distractions that keep us from what we truly want. Clearly defining what we want seems like a logical first step. Most of us wing it, occasionally tripping [...]

STATE OF SERVICE

February 2, 2010

I’ve been all over the road this past week, literally and emotionally. It’s already been an incredible year and it’s only February 2nd. Have you already done or accomplished something in 2010 that you’ll remember the rest of your life? It’s an important question to ask ourselves. I’m not going to go into my own [...]

2010 PHILOSOPHY

January 20, 2010

Your over-arching philosophy for how to approach your life drives your attitude, your actions and your results. Have you ever tried to figure yourself out on paper? Do you think it’s corny? Do you think that people who affect many lives and accomplish incredible things have a good idea of how they approach their life?
This [...]

GIVE ME HAPPY MOFO

January 5, 2010

I tend to agree with all of the personal development and spiritual gurus I’ve consulted in the recent years: Merely taking action for action’s sake is a complete waste of time. The trouble is, so much of our culture operates on the myth that success is only achieved through hiking up your boot straps, hard [...]

PRE-HOLIDAY THOUGHTS

November 25, 2009

Beware out there, because I’ve just run a few miles, lifted a few weights, showered, and secured yet another cup of coffee, in determination to make this one stellar fucking morning. Congratulations young Kristoffer, you have arrived. Welcome. It’s OK if it didn’t quite start off this way. I can’t be expected to wake up [...]

FROM TROLL TO WARRIOR

November 20, 2009

There are mornings where I wake and those sketchy, negative thoughts and worries immediately start pouring in. Do you ever open up your puffy, heavy eyes and think “oh shit. Really?” It can feel like people burying you with dirt.  I’m not a morning person by any stretch, but I’ve needed to make considerable effort [...]

OUR COMPANY TURNS 8

October 15, 2009

I really had to share this beautiful letter our Founder and Chief sent out to our company this morning. If you believe that love and respect cannot thrive in a corporation, you are wrong. It’s completely inspiring that Shawn left his job 8 years ago, and now oversees 100 employees in 11 offices around the [...]

FURTHER CHILLING

October 13, 2009

Last week I realized that no one was going to make me get outside and enjoy the Fall. When you work out of the home, there’s a strange tractor beam between your ass and your desk chair. Because The Work always knows where you are in relation to it, it’s easy to forget that it’s [...]
