BIRTHRIGHT by Sean Mullens

I came across this week’s Motivational Monday video while I was browsing Vimeo over the weekend…

The cinematography and directing was done by Sean Mullens, who created the short film about his friend Micheal’s daily ritual to find his natural self through surfing. This video inspires me and brings me to tears no matter how many times I watch it…

What I love the most about Sean’s video is how wonderfully it captures Michael’s drive, determination, and love for life.

Micheal views the water as an inalienable birthright. He refuses to allow an accident that happened 30 years ago overcome his ability to enjoy life everyday.

‘The Leader Who Had No Title’ Book Review


Robin Sharma, #1 International Bestselling author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari, officially released his second book today.

Motivational Monday #21

One of my all-time favorite books is The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz, Ph.D.

The Magic of Thinking Big was one of the first books I read after starting my entrepreneurial career. I’ve re-read it every six months since the first time I read it over ten years ago. The book’s principles are that important!

In less than ten minutes, this week’s Motivational Monday proves exactly how far thinking big can get you…
