Overall, Carlton is most interested in helping others reach their goals of becoming healthier and ultimately (and most importantly), happier.

“If you’re not truly happy on the inside, then being “healthy” is just a relative term to describe an incomplete condition. Being healthy should also mean being happy with yourself. Because what good does it do anyone to be healthy and miserable. Life is too short. Strive to be happy and healthiness will follow.” – Carlton

My philosophy

Life happens for all of us. For each person it’s a very different and unique experience. Some things are well beyond our control. With that said, many of our decisions, our choices, determine much how our lives turn out. One thing is for sure, this life is not unending, at least not in the body we each exist in right now. Tomorrow could see great tragedy. Tomorrow could also see decades of life lived to its fullest. Choosing wisely the decisions we can, and repeating this process holds a premium value for any promise of the future.

Living life in accordance with our Core Values is something that sounded obvious and ridiculous to me when I was younger. As I’ve lived, more and more I realize how true this is. Years ago I did a little worksheet where I brainstormed ideas involving my core beliefs. I discovered that Positivity, Simplicity and Creativity were indeed that things I needed to survive and thrive. I encourage everyone to explore this realm. It can be fun. I can be life changing.

My personal philosophy would be nothing if I didn’t speak to my passion for health. Optimum relative health is essential to enjoying our journey down the stream, what I refer to as quality of life. We should do everything we can to maximize and balance all areas that directly contribute to this quality of life. There are many. As far as general health, I recommend prioritizing adaquate SLEEP, daily quality MOVEMENT, quality NUTRITION, adequate HYDRATION and all things that improve our WELL-BEING: Fun, Entertainment, Hobbies, Friendship, Community, Family time, Alone time, Spiritual Connection, Nature, etc. There’s no need to make things complicated. In fact, I highly recommend keeping things as simple and as easy as possible.

I was born in Louisiana, raised in a small town in North East Texas but am a child of the universe. I would rather love than hate, rather laugh than cry, rather tell the truth than have to lie… and much more than meets the eye.

Live your life in full bloom.
