Perceptions are deceptive. We meet people who remind us of someone we know and we automatically think we know how that person is. Or actors get typecast as suitable for only one type of character.
Learn to see through into the heart of others. Be free of judgement as you get to know who they are. Otherwise you might miss something…
We have instant coffee, microwave food, Instacart grocery delivery, and instant messaging! We have gotten accustomed to living life at the speed of light.
Life takes work. We must apply ourselves to earn what we gain. Nothing is guaranteed, nor should it be. We make incremental progress daily to achieve bigger gains in the future.
The truth is, we only value what we earn, and rarely does anything great happen in an instant…
In the past year, I have noticed a change in my emotions, a good change. For years, I stuffed them down because as a child I wasn’t allowed to express any emotions unless they were positive. My parents would force me to put a smile on my face, even when I was raging inside. This carried over into adulthood.
I’m allowing my emotions to surface, and they are complying! Feeling something is good. It’s still a little uncomfortable for me, but growth comes when we visit the discomfort zone…

We all have our rituals. For example, I drink coffee every morning. It’s more a habit than a rite, but I do it daily.
We can become set in our ways. Neural pathways are strong. Let’s be aware that the way we have done things in the past might be ready for change. New, innovative methods should be embraced, not avoided.
Keep your mind open. Change is inevitable…
This morning I woke up in paradise. I’m in Cancun to give a speech on what I call three pillars of life. These are three things we need in our lives. They are forgiveness, acceptance and gratitude.
If you are a person who prays, please pray for me that my message resonates with my audience, that someone finds forgiveness in their heart for a past grievance. My speech is tomorrow’s keynote address…
Take a good look at yourself. Make a list of your talents and strengths. Thank the Creator for giving them to you.
When you focus on what you have instead of what others have, your thoughts align with your purpose. Coveting a talent someone else has takes away from your joy in the moment. God hardwired you exactly the way He wanted you. Go with it!
All of us are unique. It’s time to put your uniqueness on display…
If one of your goals is to get fit this year, here’s a few helpful tips.
First, if you have health issues, get clearance from your doctor. After that, remember to lift weights to build strength. Do some cardio exercises to strengthen your heart, but don’t make cardio your dominant exercise. Get a good trainer. Eat good food. Do not start eating like a rabbit (meaning salads only). And finally, stay with it.
Over time, you will see results. Just keep going…
What are your beliefs? Write them down, then state them out loud.
I believe in God. I believe in my health. I believe I have 40 more good years in me. I believe in my ability to create the wealth I need. I believe in myself. These are just a few of mine.
This is a powerful exercise. Do it daily for the next month. See what happens to your mindset…
Timing is everything. When you need to have a difficult conversation with someone, choosing the right time makes all the difference.
God’s timing is perfect. That said, I don’t always like His timing in the moment, but it turns out the best when I accept it. He really does know best.
If you are in a challenging period of your life, take a minute to thank God for the lessons you are learning. He never punishes us, only disciplines. Discipline means teaching, even when we don’t like it…
