There is nothing like…

The Present to make the Past count for something great! We’ve all done things in the past that was not our best attempt, and in those instances, we don’t really have anything to show for it, except that it was not our best. But all that is now in our Past, was once in our… Read more »

Be kind to your mind…

We get beat up…in life sometimes, with it’s twists and turns. Unexpected detours, delays and obstacles can be de-motivating at the very least, leaving us feeling like we sustained a little bruising and with an occasional “fat lip”.

Maybe Burger King has it right?

“Have it your way” is a pretty good credo. And why not “Have it our way”? Take your life to the “Next Level” – good – “Have it your way”. Just declare the way you want it and take the steps to get it. Want a better body?… perfect, just make a plan and follow… Read more »

When we are in on of those “zones” where everything seems to be “clicking”. And one thing that makes those “zones” feel great, is that they come in streaks and sometimes they leave earlier than we’d like. One way to keep the “zone” around us for longer periods of time, and have things keep “clicking”,… Read more »

Got some advice…

From a great golf buddy of mine, Dimitri, a long time ago about how to position yourself at work. He said, “Always remember this son, it’s very important to make sure you advance your way up…into a position to steal”. He meant well, but probably not the best advice I’ve ever received. Take it from… Read more »

Talent or Skill…
