“I imagine that yes is the only living thing” ~E.E Cummings To say “yes” is to choose life—to open, to trust, to grow. In every moment we embrace with a wholehearted yes, we awaken something living within us: hope, courage, creativity, and love. “Yes” is not blind agreement, but brave affirmation—a willingness to engage with the world, to risk, to rise. It is the seed of all new beginnings, the breath behind every dream. Just as powerful is the “no” we offer to what doesn’t align with us. In saying no to what dims our light, we are saying yes to ourselves—our truth, our goals, and our highest path. Say yes to opportunities. Say yes to risk Say yes to your dreams Say yes to purpose Say yes to you Say yes to life ~Coach Rob

“It is better to know some of the questions than all of the answers” ~James Thurber Sometimes, the most powerful growth comes not from having all the answers, but from asking the right questions. Curiosity opens doors that certainty cannot. When we embrace the unknown and allow ourselves to wonder, we begin to see life not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a mystery to be lived. Every question we ask carves a deeper connection with our purpose, our passion, and our path. So honour the questions, they are the quiet guides that lead us to wisdom, growth, and truth. Keep seeking, keep wondering, and trust that the answers will find you in time. ~Coach Rob

Six years ago, I stepped into rehab for the first time in what would become a long journey toward recovery from alcoholism. I looked around at the people in that room and immediately thought to myself, “I don’t belong here. I’m not like these people.” Despite the undeniable struggles with addiction and the poor decisions that had brought me there, I refused to accept that I was just like everyone else in that room. My pride convinced me that I was somehow different—better. I went through the motions, did my time, and left. But it didn’t take long for me to fall right back into the bottle. Why? Because I had failed to do the most important thing—I didn’t look in the mirror. I didn’t face the hard truths about myself. I chose denial over self-awareness, pride over humility, and resistance over the willingness to learn and grow. I wasn’t ready to change because I hadn’t taken responsibility for who I was and what I needed to heal. Eventually, I found myself right back in rehab. This time, I walked in expecting to see the same familiar faces—the same “fuck-ups” I had judged before. But to my surprise, not a single person I had met during my first stay was there. That realization hit me hard. My ego took a serious blow. It was a humbling moment, and one I desperately needed. It was then that I understood: my pride had been the biggest barrier to real recovery. This time, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I opened my heart and mind. I made a conscious choice to get to know my fellow patients, and I was stunned by what I found. The people I had so harshly judged before were, in fact, some of the most incredible, resilient, and kind-hearted humans I had ever met. They weren’t hopeless—they were hurting. Just like me. That shift—from judgment to connection, from pride to humility, from denial to self-awareness—was the beginning of real change. When I left rehab the second time, I was reborn. I was finally equipped not just to fight my addiction, but to face it head-on with honesty and clarity. The truth is, I still relapsed after that. But each time, I got back up. I kept learning. I stayed humble.

“The boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave.” ~Thomas Jefferson The Journey to liberty is never calm, it roars, it rises, it challenges. Every struggle, every storm we face, is a sign that freedom lives. Don’t fear the waves. Ride them. For in turbulence, we grow stronger, braver, and closer to true liberty. Keep pushing forward. ~Coach Rob
