Hi, my name is Ed Kalaher.  I’m a father, a son, an entrepreneur and a student…and I’m determined to live my BEST life.  In fact, an exceptional life.

But like many, I struggle.  I struggle to maintain my positive rituals.  I get off track,  I get discouraged…you know, right?

This blog helps me, and I hope that it might help you too.

I believe we all enter periods of reflection.  Times where we take stock of our life.  And I believe that a daily ritual, a simple shift in our point of view or perspective, can produce incredible transformation.  The choice is ours.

Imagine you're at an unfamiliar home for an event or holiday.  Say a distant relative's home, for a cookout on the 4th of July. You've just mowed through a half a dozen deviled eggs, after the 4 course meal that began with a "simple" hot dog. Then it starts to...
