Today’s Topic: Most people are lost
Is your life really YOUR life?
Most people are living a story that other people created for them.
They aren’t waking up everyday thinking “Man, I am living exactly how I dreamed I would. I love my life.”
This world isn’t setup to help you as an individual figure out your life, unless you wan’t to fall in line and do what your told.
“Go to school, get a job, settle in a relationship for years of your life, have kids, work for most of your life, slowly die internally as you live the same soul crushing day over and over, THEN retire when you are old and tired!!”
Wow sure sounds like a dream life… not.
That path is a cookie cutter, and complacent way to do life.
There is nothing wrong with education, having a career, or kids.
There is something wrong with living your life based on a formula developed by people who don’t know or give a Shit about you.
You were put here for a reason. You have a purpose. You matter! You are not just an ant on the ant hill.
If you are reading this you were destined to do great things with you life AND enjoy it along the way.
Most people are to asleep, numb, and scared to realize this. They have had their dreams, gifts, and internal voice ripped away by the world.
Not you.
So, that leads us to the next question:
Today’s Tip: How to figure out what you want to do with your life
I have had many people ask me this question over the last month. It’s one that I have asked myself many times.
“What do I want to do with my life?”
Oh you know, just the blip of time that I have rented in order to be alive.
No big deal.
I only get to be Riley one time. You only get to be you, one time. Act accordingly.
Here’s whats helped me:
Get Honest
You can’t be honest with others if you aren’t honest with yourself.
Get real with yourself. Ask the hard questions.
If you knew you were going to die this year:
- Are you who you want to be?
- Are you living how you want to?
- Are the people in your life those you want to spend your life with?
It feel like we have forever. But, we don’t.
You have 100 years best case scenario, and chances are you are 1/4th → 1/3rd of the way through that or more.
Start Experimenting
You are here to have a human experience. Have it!
Go experience the world. Go live your life. Go do things that get you out of your comfort zone.
Through these experiences you will learn what you want, and what you don’t want. What’s for you, and what isn’t.
There is NO playbook to life. You are the solo creator of the life you live.
Break the stories you were told about how life “should be”.
- If you are scared of people, go be around a ton of them.
- If you are closed off, and shy then go do something spontaneous and wild.
- If you are wild, and tired then try living at a slower pace.
If you were meant to be perfect, or vanilla you wouldn’t be on this earth.
The whole point is to evolve. To learn the lessons only a human experience could teach.
Go live, explore, and learn.
Model Others
Someone out there is living the life you secretly want to deep down.
The world is a giant mirror, anything you see on the outside is something you can claim on the inside.
Find the people you resonate with, and try to emulate how they are living.
You may love it, or you may realize you hate it.
Either way, you get closer to what you actually want with the life experience to back it.
If you want to live a healthier life, find others doing the same.
If you want to have more fun, find those that have a lot of it!
If you want to let go of bad habits, find those that have great ones.
It’s not that hard.
The reality? We are all just pretending.
So pretend to be the most badass, capable, and authentic version of yourself.
Don’t be a spectator, be in the game.
Today’s Takeaway: The strangest secret

Today’s Thought: The definition of success
|
|
|
“Success is the progressive realization of a worth goal or ideal.”
Earl Nightingale
|
Let’s make this short and sweet.
Progressive realization… NOT realization.
If you know what you want, and are moving towards it… you are successful.
Act accordingly!
Stop waiting for the world to tell you that you are successful.
Pick a goal, and act.
Only then are you successful.
Today’s Tribute: You made me who I am
Each week I am going to give a tribute to someone special:
- A member in the community
- Impactful people in my life
- One of my clients kicking ass
This week we are doing something a little different.
I want to write a tribute to the people who made me who I am.
Not in the way you think.
To the people in the world who betrayed, hurt, doubted, abandoned, disrespected, and dehumanized me: Thank you.
You gave me the training, grit, heart, divine rage, and ungodly determination I needed for the purpose I have.
I can only help people to the depth I have gone. Because of you, I have gone deep.
I owe so much to you, because while you thought you were dimming my light… you created a Fucking inferno.
I will help millions of people just like me because of you.
I care, understand, and relate to humanity and the suffering we experience because of you.
I have embraced my mission, because of you.
You caused me great pain. I transmuted it into purpose, passion, and perseverance.
I am grateful for the lessons I learned, and character I built.
I hope you learned, and grew from it too.
You created a monster.
I tamed it.
With love and gratitude,
Riley.
