Do you look people in the eyes when you speak to them? Eye contact is a subtle, yet important way to recognize people, to make them feel important.
Everyone wants to feel seen and heard. When we make the effort to make and hold eye contact, we give them the recognition they want.
Focus on whoever you are engaged with. Consider them to be the only person in the world during that moment. Watch what happens…
It seems we have a shortage of good men in the world. The rapid rise of fatherless homes has created a crisis of identity for young boys.
What does a man look like? He is responsible, accountable and unselfish with his time. He is the last one to be served because he serves others. He is defined by his character and integrity, both of which are unshakable.
We need men to stop abandoning their responsibilities. It’s fun to be the “Disney Dad,” but our young people need more. I encourage you to ascend to the challenge…
I am pro-law enforcement. I know a good amount of dedicated police officers who do policing the right way. They are protectors, guardians and warriors combined into one.
Law enforcement officers have a unique skill set. They provide protection for everyone, including those who are protesting them. It’s a calling, for sure, and not for just anyone.
Let’s honor our devoted police men and women. They deserve it because they have earned it…
We are all uncommon beings. God created us as unique and special individuals. Even identical twins have different fingerprints.
In the same vein our DNA strands are complex and beautifully created. The precision God used in making us shows how much He cares.
We sell ourselves short. We settle for a life that is less than what God equipped us for. Be bold. Pursue your calling…
All of us have thousands of acquaintances. There are plenty of people around who want something from you, or just want to be in your sphere.
Bring people into your life who will be there when the shit hits the fan. The going gets tough? They don’t run away. They stay.
The friends who will tell you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear are a real treasure…
We unnecessarily complicate things. Life isn’t that hard to figure out. Many times the simplest solution is right in front of us but we don’t see it because of all the noise.
Try to eliminate anything that gets in your way of thinking clearly. Our minds can do incredible things when we get out of our own way. Think about it…
On social media, I often see people posting memes quoting others. I used to do the same thing. Until I didn’t.
All of us have original thoughts and ideas. We should be audacious enough to share them with the world. People need originality.
Your thoughts might be the catalyst someone needs to light the creative fire in themselves. Please share what’s in your mind and heart…
This morning I was honored to give a tribute to a good friend of mine who died. His service was a meaningful experience, and I felt special to be asked.
Spend time with the people in your life who are important to you. You never know when they will leave you…
Timing is everything. God’s timing is perfect, even when I don’t agree with it or like it. But I don’t think He needs or wants my input!
Let’s look at the timing of human interaction. When you have to deliver a difficult message to a friend, the timing of your delivery is key to their receiving and listening to the message. A message given at the wrong time often falls flat, while a message delivered at the right time is well-received.
When you find yourself in this situation, remember that it might be a good idea to wait until the mood is right. Life isn’t always a good time…
I love suspense. Suspense is the exciting uncertainty of not knowing what’s coming. Suspense keeps us interested in movies, elections and life. Without it, our existence would be mundane and predictable. Where’s the fun in that?
As much as we hear people complain about change, that’s really all there is. We have no control over anything but our attitude. Change is inevitable, so life keeps us in suspense.
“The suspense is terrible. I hope it continues…” Willy Wonka…
