Nothing external to us is either good or bad – but just a tool that amplifies who we are. Fame, money, charisma – often get a bad rap but they are just tools. Will we use them for our own egotistical self self interest and pleasure…will we take advantage of others? OR, will we use […]
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Content is king,” but not all content is created equal – different content will get you different results. Your content needs to be written with specific qualities in mind; it needs to spark interest and be compelling enough to be shared. (This is particularly true in the early stages of […]
When we make large and small decisions, our thinking mind usually takes center stage. It plans and schemes and constructs solutions to maintain a sense of security and control. An ancient Asian proverb helps us understand the trap we fall into when we over-rely on our mind: It’s an excellent servant, but a terrible master. […]
Seems that wherever you go these days, everyone is glued to their phone. I admit it, I’ve become dependent on my phone myself. Often, I’m so fixated on my device that I forget there is a whole world around me. And this is perhaps the greatest paradox of all: The more we advance technologically, the […]
Not long ago, I celebrated Yom Kippur, the holiest date on the Jewish calendar. Well, not really “celebrated” – I fasted for 24 hours, I refrained from work, I reflected. In the past, I hated the fact that one cannot drive, use public transportation, or dine out during the holiday. I saw it as religious […]
Call it coincidence or call it fate, but precisely one year apart, both my mom and my sister were diagnosed with the exact same cancer. Yesterday, a year after my mom was operated for breast cancer, my sister was in the operating room for the same surgery, in the same hospital, operated by the same […]
Have you ever experienced a crisis in your life that left you feeling derailed? Maybe you lost a job that you thought was secure, or had to part ways from a significant other, or or faced a severe illness. Most of us know the feeling – The whole world feels like it’s upside down. Dealing […]
There’s this gorgeous beach I like to visit while I’m in Israel. Every sunset it’s filled by senior citizens who park their electric carts on the path leading to the beach. Walking down the path is impossible for them, so they watch the sunset from afar. My heart yearns when I see this. It reminds […]
I love flying. Even the long 10+ hours flights. Even the screaming kids. I know, weird. But that’s me. There are many reasons why I like flying but a big one is that it kind of forces me to be with myself. To switch my mobile into flight mode and unplug. Yesterday, while flying across […]
The new year is here, and with it comes the chance to reflect on the past year, turn the page, and, make new resolutions for the next twelve months. 2017: The Unexpected Gift of a Snakebite Getting bitten by a venomous snake was never part of my plan for 2017, but life often has its […]
Yesterday was my last day in the Canary Islands and I spent most of it in nature, in the mountains and the desert lands. There are many great things about the mountains of Gran Canaria, but for me, one thing stood out: The non-existent internet access. The more I travel, the more i realize the […]
More and more people are being inspired by the idea of chasing their bucket list dreams. No longer willing to settle for the lives they feel they should be living, they are deciding what they want to do, and then, doing it. Inevitably, this involves going outside of their comfort zones, taking risks, getting rid […]
All I wanted yesterday was to get out to nature and explore the island with friends. Then again life had its own plans. My lower back was so sore from surfing that I could barely move around. At night, I could not fall asleep due to the pain I was in. Needless to say I […]
I arrived to the beautiful Canary Islands after giving a Keynote speech in Portugal at DNX, the world’s largest conference for location independent entrepreneurs. This was my biggest speaking engagement to date, with 500 people attending the event and speakers like Pat Flynn showcasing their work. Needless to say, it was a blast! Now here […]
One of the surest ways to shift into bliss and contentment is to stop experiencing ourselves as separate from the environment and instead become one with it. Easier said than done. Luckily, however, my current environment consists a great surfing beach outside my door. And Surfing is one hell of a way to become infused […]
Yesterday, I arrived to the Canary Islands and checked in into one of the most beautiful apartments I’ve ever stayed in. But instead of feeling joy, I felt a bit of sadness. WTF?? “You should be happy” a voice inside of me muttered. ” look at all of this beauty…”. However, I couldn’t help myself […]
Yesterday was my last day in Lisbon. It was also my birthday and I could not have been more happy to celebrate it in Lisbon’s magnificent surrounding nature. My newfound external connection with Portugal’s beauty was morphing into an internal one. My heart was buzzing with joy and I was like a kid again—expansive, excited, […]
Today is my birthday. It’s a special one. Because I’ve never felt more alive, more connected, more at peace, more myself. In the past, I did not like drawing attention to my birthday, but now I say, why not? why not celebrating myself with the world? Celebrating ourselves is not something we’re taught to do […]
In my early travel days, I used to read about my destinations and fill my schedule with as much as I could. But as I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to create space and leave room for the unknown, or, as I see it these days, to trust life and what it has in store for […]
No one wants a setback in their life. But it’s bound to happen. There is no way around it. Life constantly evolves, changes, and asks us to adapt. Every setback, however, is also an opportunity, raw potential for a powerful growth experience. The secret, I believe, is to refuse to feel like a victim, and […]
Since my near-death experience early July, making decisions has become considerably simpler. The only rule I have: Follow inspiration at all times. This, as well as using my intuition and gut feelings, answers all my dilemmas – big or small: Where should go? how should I spent my time? What will I eat? Following inspiration […]
I let go of worries about my future. About where I’ll be or what my future contribution should be. I focus my attention on what makes me feel light and abundant in the moment. I know the more I feel abundant, and notice it, the more abundance will naturally flow into my life. – Previous […]
Just had one of the most intense weeks of my life. In a good way. Between organizing a 3-day event and attending another 3-day event as a speaker, I have not had much sleep. Yet, I’m not really tired. On the contrary, I feel full of energy and life. We tend to think of food […]
We are social creatures. But this doesn’t just mean going out and socialize. It means cultivating friendships and relationships that truly matter. It means being part of a tribe that encourages, supports, and inspires each other to fully live. Feeling so fortunate today to have all these beautiful people around me. – Previous share: showing […]
I hear my name. It’s my turn to go on stage. I take one deep breath and start feeling aligned. I step forward and enjoy the feelings and sensations that occur within. I wait for nervousness to kick-in but it’s not there anymore. The fear nervousness left as quick as they came. Then, something I […]
