Sports are a part of our culture.  The underdog athlete taking on the world in front of him and winning makes magic for movies, books and magazines.  I must admit that I still love watching Rudy tackle the Georgia Tech quarter back for a sack.  The climax of the “5 foot nothin’, 100 and nothin’, [...]

I have always tried to think positively, it seems to make me happier.  However, positive thinking by itself is pretty useless.  As the good book says, faith without works is dead.

You don’t need an excuse to feel good.  What a rare concept for many people.  Many people think that feeling lousy is natural and feeling good is rare.  As Anthony Robbins said this weekend at a Zrii convention, “Problems and happiness have no relationship.”
I have purchased and listened to many of Tony Robbins’ books and [...]

Personal success stories are so extremely important because they inspire us to greater heights.  When we see what others have done, we see more in ourselves.

When I was a ninth grader my class voted me “Most Likely to Succeed.”  Believe it or not, that silly vote done by a teacher has caused me a lot of reflection and even pressure.  There is no doubt that I am driven and I want very much to succeed, but as I approach the [...]

Healthy living is not just reserved to what you put in your stomach. I frequently write about the importance of what you put in your mouth, but if your thoughts are filled with doubt and your life is overly stressful, you are trimming years off your life.

My two year old is really good at sales.  He tries asking first.  He then starts to demand.  Then he cries a bit.  Then he looks at me with those big blue eyes and fat cheeks and I give in.  We are all involved in selling whether we know it or not.
I began my sales [...]

WHATEVER may be said in [...]

Last night I sent a tweet and said, “What do you expect, success or failure? Either way you will probably get it.” This morning I agree with my comment except I would take out “probably.”

Today I don’t paint but I still love [...]

This morning I awoke to a chunky two year old staring me in the eyes and gently rubbing my cheek.  For a Saturday morning it was a little earlier than I wanted to wake up, but you can never beat that kind of unadulterated love.  With his round head next to me softly breathing, I [...]
