Integrity Is Non-Negotiable

Be who I say I am. My word is my foundation. Period. It's the only way anything else builds.

 

Communication Is Connection

If I’m not communicating, I’m disconnected. And disconnection breeds addiction, sabotage, and collapse. 

​

Lead with Love

Open heart and wide empathy. Be more interested than interesting. Think independently, and be open to change and alternative points of view.

 

Give More Than I Take

As a leader, as a friend, as a husband, as a son—offer more in value than I receive in exchange.

 

Hold Energy With Reverence

When someone entrusts me with their vulnerability, I guard it fiercely. And when I share mine, I make sure they can do the same.

 

Mind the Inputs

Attention is my most valuable commodity. In body, mind, and spirit—The more I am aware of the signals I'm taking in, the more mindful I can be in my expansion.

 

Learn from Mistakes, But Don't Dwell on Them

Failure is simply a chance to improve upon anything.

 

Mystery Keeps It Alive

Keep my integrity of who I am, but I don’t need to spill everything at once. Reveal in stages.

 

Shadow Is My Teacher

Explore the dark, own my kinks, be curious about my shame. What I repress rules me; what I embrace empowers me.

 

Eros Is My North Star

I live with a hard-on for life! Creativity, sexuality, vitality—it’s all one current of energy with constant exploration.

 

Slow is Smooth; Smooth is Fast

You can't rush nature. It takes 9 months for a baby to grow and 500 years for a Redwood to hit maturity. If I practice enough and believe I can make a change, it will happen...but it requires Patience.
