Greatness happens through hard work, commitment and humility. The greatest leaders, Jesus, Mother Theresa and Abraham Lincoln served, but never made it about themselves.
Usually the ones who crow the loudest about their greatness are not great at all…
All of us are chasing something. What do you want, fame, money or prestige? Maybe your desires are much simpler.
It’s important to remember why you are pursuing something so diligently. My encouragement to you is to chase fulfillment, not “stuff.” Fulfilling your inner, most strong desires will get you peace and accomplishment…
It seems like people are wearing their feelings on their sleeves nowadays. People get offended by “any little thing,” and become outraged. Why?
Playing the victim has become popular with some people. It’s a waste to get attention this way. They might get noticed for something, but it doesn’t last.
I encourage you to take the high ground. In an imperfect world, others will offend us, but that’s unavoidable. Keep your focus on doing something great with your life. The rest will take care of itself…
Yesterday, I wrote about taking a day off to recharge. Today let’s examine those days when things don’t go as planned.
Everyone has off days. Everyone. I have had them all my life, and there will be more in days to come. But not every day is an off day. It’s important to keep life in perspective, and not hold on too tightly to the dark periods.
Always remember that you have gotten through every difficult time in your life. You are still standing. And you will get through the next bad time, too, if you just keep going…

Toxins are everywhere. In the air, our water, even in the food we eat. You practically can’t eliminate something toxic from getting into your system.
But we can control what goes into our minds. We can eliminate the news, websites we should avoid, the books we consume, even negative people. It’s our choice. Choose wisely…
For many years, I have written and spoken on leadership. There are a lot of characteristics that make up a good leader, but today I will only focus on one: compassion.
A compassionate leader thinks about the people he or she leads. That type of leader recognizes that an organization will only be as good as the people, and that people need to know they are important, they are valued. And a compassionate leader must be authentic. People can see through bullshit a mile away!
If you are in a leadership role, I encourage you to lead with compassion. You will get the most out of your people by leading this way, and you’ll have greater personal job satisfaction…
We have conversations with ourselves every waking moment. What is the quality of our conversations?
It’s important to be truthful with ourselves, but remember to be kind. Hold yourself accountable, but don’t berate yourself. Make an attempt to better yourself, and it’s okay if you fall short. Try again. And again. And again. Keep trying…
There used to be a television commercial for a brand of bubble bath. The slogan was, “Calgon, take me away.” The idea was that the bubble bath would take the bather away from life’s problems, if even for a short while. Ah, if only life was so simple.
People use other methods to escape: alcohol, drugs, pornography and other deviances to numb their pain. When the time away ends, the pain remains. Even plastic surgery is used to try to fix something internal, and oftentimes nothing is broken on the outside. The patient just believes there is.
Face life head on. Work on yourself to heal what hurts. No matter your method of escape, you cannot run away from who you are…
We live in an imperfect world, so conflicts are inevitable. They don’t have to ruin relationships, though.
Many times conflicts arise and arguments ensue because of miscommunication. One person says something and a counterparty hears something different. Or perhaps they believe it’s about them.
When conflicts arise, and they will, talk them out. If you owe someone an apology, give it without making excuses. Solid relationships can withstand conflict…
