Hi! My name is Anthony Saso, and I am here to experience, appreciate, and spread the gift of being alive. Most people would describe me as a little odd, obsessive, and not knowing when to shut up (Sorry to my wife!). Joy, energy, and gratitude are my three fundamental values that I navigate life with, helping me survive and thrive through the inevitable ups and downs. Joy keeps me motivated and passionate, gratitude keeps me focused on the positive things around me, and energy allows me to integrate these principles into my life and share them with others. I am single-mindedly obsessed with leadership and spirituality, and I tend to focus on little else as I navigate through the journey of consciousness. I take the lead in the automotive industry and practice spirituality through self-awareness. Neither journey is easy; leading in this industry comes with a heavy burden of stress, struggle, and hardships, while self-awareness can bring forth all the pain and suffering of one's life. Without the three fundamental values I have developed and honed, I wouldn't be able to navigate the waves of either experience. I would lose my raft and be stranded on the island of mediocrity. My intention with this blog is simply to remind everyone that they can break free from their prison of mediocrity and live a life filled with success, happiness, and purpose. Here, I will share the tools that have helped me develop the resilience needed to not only ride the waves but emerge on the other side with a smile and laughter. Life is a journey, and the greatest regret anyone can have is not learning to understand and appreciate the one chance we have. These are my lessons, and I wish you all the best in discovering yours. If you find any value in this, please share it with others. Join me on my mission to help the world find their smile :)
