Everything you want in life is available to you. You must be willing to invest the time and energy necessary to achieve it. Success rarely happens overnight. But it does happen…
This Must Stop!
For some reason, nowadays we politicize everything. We are allowing the politicians to divide us. This has to stop. We, as people, are more alike than we are different.
Most people are good at heart, and goodness transcends everything, including politics…
Listen!
When you rearrange the letters in the word “silent,” you get “listen.” Coincidence? I don’t think so. A wise person listens more than he speaks…
Earn It!
We place value in what we earn. Success isn’t measured by how much money we have. Success is achieved through fulfilling other, more worthwhile objectives. Believe in yourself and go to work…
The Perils of Leadership
Leadership means doing what’s right, even when you must stand alone. You will not be the most popular person when you lead others. Critics are everywhere and should be welcomed. The critics have a problem for everything, while leaders are searching for solutions.
If you are called to lead, lead well without compromise. Let your vision be clear. Just keep going…
Patience…
It’s said that patience is a virtue, but I see it as an opportunity when we practice patience. Why do we get upset or angry when traffic is moving slowly. Or if the checkout line at the grocery store is long? These opportunities, and other similar circumstances allow us to slow down, notice the people around us, and perhaps take time to engage with them. Our culture is a culture of busyness, not human connection. We need to connect with others…and stop rushing through life.
Morning
There is something special about the early morning. There exists a peace like no other. The quiet is rejuvenating…
Alone
If we learned anything from the pandemic, it’s that we are not meant to be alone. We are hardwired to be connected with each other…in community. Reach out to someone who might be by themselves. Just check in with them. Saying a simple “hello” might be exactly what they need…
A Thanksgiving Message
Today, in the United States we celebrate Thanksgiving. I believe we should show gratitude to our Creator every day, not just once per year. If you are reading this, take a moment to thank Him for your mind, then add your family, friends, fresh air and food. Let your list continue to grow…
Here They Come
It’s that time of year again. Time for the Hallmark movies. You know the story…perfect family living in a perfect home in a perfect neighborhood. Even their dog is perfect! Suddenly, strife hits. The family bends but doesn’t break. Everything gets restored to normal and they live happily ever after…
Life isn’t a Hallmark movie. Life is hard. Do not fall into the trap of comparing your life to a Hallmark movie. It will rob you of the moments of joy life holds for you…
