Fear, Itself
Fear sucks. It paralyzes. Physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It stops great things from happening. It causes otherwise successful people to quit whatever they are pursuing or to not even muster the strength or courage to get started. It's a monster of the ugliest and most dangerous type. Edmund Burke once said, "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing". I would say the same thing about fear. In order for fear to grow legs and become real, we have to check out and do [...]
Your Every Day To-Do List
How would you like to hear about a four step process to achieving anything you want in your life? Sounds pretty good, right? Well, I will warn you; it sounds so ridiculously simple, that your first inclination will be to dismiss it as trivial and silly. You may also think that it sounds like the stuff in fairy tales..

Think it sounds like [...]
It’s Now or Never
If you're wondering when the time will be right for you to get started pursuing your dreams, goals, or desires, it's the same time that as it has always been.

Comfortably Numb
Aristotle said, "we are what we repeatedly do". He said a lot of stuff, but you know, that was one of his more famous quotes. I totally agree with him, but I think he could have added "or don't do" to the end of that statement. Maybe it wouldn't have sounded quite as profound or meaningful if he had added my little addendum, but I think I'm right. As much as our lives are the result of the great habits that we have, we are also subject to suffering through the consequences of the bad ones. Indeed, we are also what we repeatedly [...]
Potentially Amazing
How far do you think you can go in life? What awesome thing do you think you can achieve? What is your true potential? I read a quote today attributed to Zig Ziglar and it said this, "You are the only person on earth who can use your ability". Did you get that? YOU are the only person who can use YOUR ability! It's a great quote, and I'm tucking it in my mental file somewhere between "Use it or lose it" and "No one else is going to do it for you". It also got me to thinking about how each one of us, as individuals, are really [...]
