There’s something that’s been bothering me lately.

Too many people are walking through life unaware. They’re disconnected—from themselves, from others, and from the incredible opportunities sitting right in front of them. It’s like they’re on autopilot… reacting instead of intentionally creating the life they want.

Let me explain.

We live in a time where distractions are constant. But the cost isn’t just our attention—it’s our self-awareness. People don’t realize how their actions affect the people around them. They’re not thinking critically about the choices they make. And worst of all? They’re not tapping into their full potential.

Instead of becoming creators, they become victims of circumstance.

Now, I’m not saying that awareness solves everything—but I am saying it’s where everything starts. I’ve always prided myself on being aware. I read. I ask questions. I have deep conversations. I challenge what I think I know. And I’m always curious.

Why? Because I know that awareness is a superpower.

It helps me spot opportunities before they pass me by.

It helps me grow from challenges instead of being defeated by them.

It helps me build better relationships, stronger ideas, and a more fulfilling life.

So here’s my challenge to you:

Expand your mindset.

•   Read something that stretches your thinking.
•   Talk to someone you normally wouldn’t.
•   Challenge your long-held beliefs—not because they’re wrong, but because growth requires friction.
•   Be curious.
•   Be open.
•   Be bold.

And please… stop being so tribal. The world doesn’t need more people who just want to be “right.” It needs people who want to get it right. One of my favorite sports talk hosts, Colin Cowherd, said that—and it stuck with me.

“Don’t be right. Get it right.”

If you want to live an amazing life, you must be amazing.

That doesn’t mean being perfect. It means doing the work.

It means collaborating with others.

It means cultivating a strong mindset that pushes you forward—even when it’s hard.

Before you can change your life, you must change your approach to life. And that begins with expanding your awareness.

So today, I’m asking you to do just one thing: wake up.

Notice more. Learn more. Be more.

Because the best version of your life is still out there—and it’s waiting on you to show up.

Till next time,
