Tim McAuley spent the better part of his youth and 20s as a self-proclaimed hedonist. In 2004, the party came to an end. At 28 years old, his liver was failing, and he was given an ultimatum. Quit or you will be dead by August. A few years later, on a wave off the coast of San Clemente, California he was reborn a soul surfer. That wave brought him into focus and he got a glimpse of his own potential. He learned to get out of his own way and just flow.  Soul Surfing is Tim's Metaphor. "The principles at play in your development as a surfer are easily applicable to every area of your life."  With that thought, in 2010 Tim founded Soul Surfer School and has been sharing his brand of self-development since.    If you want to be a podcast guest - book a time here: http://bit.ly/bookpplpodcast To learn more about the inspired PressPlay Lifestyle you can find us at: www.jackieschwabe.com www.instagram.com/pressplay4u www.pinterest.com/jackieschwabe www.twitter.com/presplaylife4u https://anchor.fm/pressplayinspired www.medium.com/practical-mind-mastery/ https://medium.com/@jackie.schwabe If you want to get resources, tools, and support to empower you to be your best-inspired self subscribe to our newsletter: http://bit.ly/sub-js-news

Virtues of Living Simply - Keep It Simple Sweetie KISS — keep it simple sweetie. This was what one of my first writing professors wrote on my critique of Mark Twain’s book, “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn”. He told me that I should write in a way that I would want to read and it would be one of my key virtues as a writer. This advice served me well in my writing from that point forward. However, it wasn’t just my writing that I needed to simplify. I didn’t realize it at the time, and I am still working through the implementation of it, but there are virtues of living simply.
