Everything We Want Is About How It Makes Us Feel

Take a look:

  • We want happiness, a feeling.
  • We want financial security because we think money will help us feel safe.
  • We want our kids to be loved because love feels good.
  • We want education because we believe it leads to opportunity, which feels empowering.

Every goal is rooted in the feeling we think it will give us whether it's peace, success, love, or a sense of purpose. That means our real pursuit isn’t things, it’s emotions.

Your Feelings Are Already Available

Here’s the truth most people never hear: You can feel the way you want to feel right now. Not tomorrow, not after you hit that next milestone. Today.

You don’t need more money, more time, a better relationship, or a new job to feel peace, love, or joy. You need different thoughts.

Feelings don’t come from your circumstances. They come from the thoughts you choose about those circumstances. And your brain gives you 60,000 of them a day. The good news? You can manage them. You can direct them.

The Power of Thought

If you want to feel:

  • Happier
  • More successful
  • More loved

Or any other way, it’s all available to you right now.

When I wrote my personal constitution, it became clear that what I really wanted in life was to feel peace of mind, acceptance, self-love, and the approval of God. All feelings. And they are all available to me right now. When I realized I didn’t need to wait for something to happen to feel how I wanted, I didn’t wait. I started feeling how I wanted when I wanted.

Model the Life You Want for Your Kids

We can’t control what our kids think. But we can show them what’s possible.

If your kids see you managing your mind and owning your emotions, they’ll want to know how. They’ll ask. They’ll listen. And they’ll learn from your example more than your words.

Even when life is hard, or full of grief, loss, and discomfort, how you respond teaches your children what it means to live with emotional strength.

Feel It, Don’t Flee It

When we let ourselves feel hard things instead of buffering with food, social media, anger, or blame, we model resilience. When we create positive emotion on purpose, we model emotional responsibility.

This is how we live a higher quality of life. This is how we love better. And this is what your kids will copy.

You Can Feel Better Right Now

Everything you want to feel is already available.

  • Worthiness
  • Peace
  • Joy
  • Self-respect
  • Confidence

They’re not the reward for grinding yourself to the bone. They’re the result of managing your mind and choosing your thoughts on purpose.

Why You Feel Stuck: And Why Systems, Goals, and Willpower Aren’t the Real Problem

If you’re honest, there’s probably something in your life right now that feels stuck. Maybe it’s money. Maybe it’s addiction. Maybe it’s your weight, your marriage, your parenting, or the quiet sense that you should be further along than you are. People don’t come to me because they’re curious. They come because something hurts. And underneath every version of “I feel stuck” is the same problem, a gap.

Confidence vs. Self-Confidence: One Keeps You Comfortable and the Other Changes Your Life

Confidence is magnetic. We are drawn to it instinctively. We want confident leaders. We want confident partners. We want to feel confident ourselves. Most people believe confidence is something you either have or don’t, or something you achieve and then carry with you indefinitely. But that assumption quietly limits growth and keeps people stuck far longer than they realize. The truth is this: confidence and self-confidence are not the same thing, and understanding the difference changes how you move forward in your life.

Duty: The Responsibility Most People Ignore and Why It’s Costing Them Everything

“Fully accepting ourselves and unconditionally loving ourselves is not a good idea. It is our duty. Without a commitment to pursue this ideal, we cannot develop the capacity to love the people we care about or make the contribution we were meant to make. If we ignore this, we limit ourselves and everyone we influence.” – Shane Jacob

Why don't I like being a parent?

Parenting is one of the hardest things a human can do. Yet parents are often expected to handle it with endless patience, confidence, and love. But the truth is this: many parents secretly struggle with thoughts they’re afraid to say out loud. You are far from alone. These thoughts feel scary, shameful, and heavy, but they don’t mean you’re a bad parent. They mean you’re human. This article breaks down why these thoughts happen, why they don’t define you, and how to pull yourself out of the shame spiral so you can reconnect with your kids and yourself.

Teasing is Destroying Trust in Your Relationships

Most of us grew up hearing, “It’s just a joke” or “Take a joke.” Maybe we even thought it was harmless, playful, or a way to bond. I believed it too. Until I started paying attention. Here’s the truth: teasing is criticism disguised as humor. It’s anger without ownership. And it always comes at a cost.

How to Change Your Past and Take Back Your Life

We all have a past. Some of us have things we are proud of, some we are ashamed of, and most of us have moments that shaped us in ways we did not choose. Here’s the truth: your past is not something that happens to you today. The only power it has over your present and future is the power you give it through your thoughts. I have lived a past most people would call broken. I have been in prison, struggled with alcohol, faced failed marriages, and carried shame that felt impossible to shake. I used to think all of that meant I was branded for life. That it would always limit me. But I was wrong. I changed my past. You can too.
