Most people are insecure about something. For example, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. I don’t know about you, but I’m more afraid of death than I am giving a speech!
We also have things we exude confidence in, our securities. Focus on those while seeking to improve on whatever might make you feel insecure…
There are people who will suck the life out of you, if you allow them to.
Say no to the people who aren’t good for you, and say yes to those who enrich your life…
Do you remember being dared to do stupid stuff when you were a kid? And do you remember actually taking the dare, even though you knew it would turn out badly? Stupid pride said we had to do it.
Now I will dare you to do something! I dare you to dream big, even outrageous dreams for your life. Then take a step, even a small one in the direction of your dream. And keep stepping. And no matter how many times you stumble and fall, keep getting back up. No one can keep you down except yourself.
I have observed an increase in rudeness over the past several years. Simple niceties like opening doors and saying ‘thank you’ are becoming rarer and rarer. I’m guessing this is because we are busier than we’ve ever been, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
To all of my followers who read my work, thank you! I appreciate every one of you. You have a choice in how you spend your time, and I’m honored you spend a few moments with me…
In the United States, on Memorial Day we honor the men and women who lost their lives defending the freedoms we enjoy. Today is not a day of celebration, but a day of remembrance. Let us #neverforget

Several years ago my youngest son was going down the wrong path. Many people who knew him simply said, “he’s hanging out with the wrong crowd.” I refuse to accept that as more than an excuse. After all, he had to choose the crowd.
We have control over who we allow into our lives. No one can make us associate with them.
I’m happy to report my son got his life on track and is thriving. I’m proud of him and the inner work he has done. And guess what? His crowd has improved, too!
Why do people doubt themselves? Self-doubt and fear have killed the dreams of many.
Let go of doubt and start doing what you were created to do. The only thing holding you back is you…
The government of the United States has incredible resources, but they have proven to be the worst distributor of those resources. Inefficiency and ineffectiveness prevail.
Put the money in the hands of the faith and philanthropic communities. They won’t waste anything, and you will see Heaven and earth move…
If you ever start believing you have made it, you are at the top, be forewarned. Life is a trip that is never ending. There’s no final destination this side of Heaven.
Humility will keep you grounded. Keep the focus on others, not yourself and you will continue growing…
I know many people who have lost children in a variety of ways: accidental drug overdose, suicide, cancer, even murder. The grief never goes away completely, although it lessens a little over time.
The pointless arguing over politics becomes even more inane when you consider it from those parent’s perspective. It’s wasted energy, nothing else.
I encourage you to put your focus on something that will make a difference in the lives of others. The rest is just noise…
