For Billy, mindfulness isn’t just about slowing down—it’s about being intentional in every decision, ensuring that his actions align with his values of service, faith, and personal growth. A former Rollins College lacrosse player, he’s learned that true peace isn’t found in external achievements, but in living with purpose.
Mindfulness Through Service
For Billy, peace is deeply connected to serving others. Teaching in Peru opened his eyes to different perspectives, making him mindful of his own blessings and the importance of giving back. He believes that true fulfillment comes from asking, “How can I do more good?” and leading with a service-minded heart. Inspired by his faith, he strives to promote goodness in his relationships, career, and daily interactions, always ensuring his heart is in the right place. His commitment to service extends to his faith community, where he leads a Bible study, creating a space for meaningful conversations and spiritual growth.
Stillness in Motion
While service brings Billy peace, so does challenge. He finds balance through both movement and stillness—whether it's pushing himself through Jiu Jitsu at night or starting his mornings with coffee, reading, and prayer. These practices keep him grounded, helping him regulate emotions and stay present. Just as Jiu Jitsu forces him to be fully engaged in battle, reading immerses him in new perspectives, pulling him out of his own head and into a place of awareness.
Rooted in Faith and Gratitude
Navigating the busyness of Western society, Billy has realized that the world constantly pushes the idea that success and happiness require chasing the next big thing. But for him, peace comes from knowing he already has everything he needs inside of him—through faith, prayer, and gratitude. He’s learned to slow down, enjoy the little things, and embrace the deeper meaning behind mindfulness.
MindfullyThreaded: A Journey of Growth
For Billy, mindfulness isn’t just a practice—it’s a way of life. It’s found in the quiet moments of reflection, the challenges that push him, and the service that fills his heart. His journey aligns with MindfullyThreaded’s mission: to seek peace through passion, embrace the present, and grow into the best version of yourself.
