Maybe there is no problem—unless I decide there is.


Beautiful Friday Everyone :)

I know that when I have a solid goal and clear steps to get there, I can stay the course. I can commit, show up, and push through until I reach it—no matter what. A timeline isn’t always necessary, but when I have one, it makes the path even easier.

Right now, though, this space I’m in feels floaty. No real set tasks. No concrete finish line. I study books, watch videos, and learn from people who live the life I aspire to. They’ve given me plenty of “roads to the promised land.” Yet here I am—year after year—back at the drawing board, still without a rudder.

And the truth is, I do have what it takes. I have the ability. I have the drive. I have the stamina. What I don’t always have is clarity on how to get there.

Sometimes I remind myself: it’s okay not to know.
Am I living a great life? Yes.
Do I have everything I need? Yes.
So what’s the problem, Casey?

Maybe there is no problem—unless I decide there is.

So today, I choose not to come from a place of “problem.” Instead, I’ll be satisfied and grateful for where I am. I’ll keep working toward my big dreams. I’ll keep learning, growing, and doing what’s in front of me. And when I feel called, I’ll step out of my comfort zone and take new chances.

The Universe knows what I need—and it provides. The same is true for my wants, if I’m willing to allow it.

Buddhism is a tradition of both thought and action, and its guiding principles speak deeply to me:

  1. Right View (Understanding)
  2. Right Intention (Thought)
  3. Right Speech
  4. Right Action
  5. Right Livelihood
  6. Right Effort
  7. Right Mindfulness
  8. Right Concentration

Do I follow these because I call myself a Buddhist? No. I follow them because I am a human being—and this is simply a good way of being.

It takes time to refine our view of the world, purify our intentions, shape our speech so it causes no harm, act without attachment to outcomes, build integrity into how we make a living, balance effort with rest, be present in the here and now, and give our full attention to whatever—or whoever—is in front of us.

Am I perfect? Nope.
Is the goal perfection? Also nope.

The goal is a rich and satisfying life. Most of that comes when I let go of opinions, sit in stillness, appreciate the abundance around me, and love my fellow humans.

Much love,
Casey

On these types of days, I must take time out for gratitude. I am thankful for my license. I can drive to the coffee shop and get a coffee. I get to listen to the kids working and laughing about some dumb kid things, lol. I have clean water and clothes. I am not locked up or being tortured. I can read, write, see, walk, talk, touch, feel, taste, and experience life today. I know the sun is shining so bright behind the clouds. Thank you, sun ☀️ Now, onward…. I like cake.

Consistency Crew You’re probably wondering, “Why am I getting these newsletters every day?” 😂 How do we reach big goals? One of the key ingredients is being consistent about taking inspired action. I’m consistent with some things — and totally inconsistent with others. That’s kind of how most humans operate, right? To get somewhere new, we have to break out of our current patterns. Right now, I’m in the pattern of being good — good with myself, good with life. By “good,” I mean balanced,...
