The Deadliest Catch

Statistics show that 98% of people watch between three to five hours of TV per day. Some people even have to fall asleep while watching TV, which is deadly to your spirit especially if it’s the news or some other type of negative program. Many of you know my feelings about television. I believe it is a complete waste of time. However, there is one show that I do watch called The Deadliest Catch. I recommend this show for one reason and one reason only...To see the price peop

Are you a SWE?

We’ve all heard the term "CEO" for Chief Executive Officer or COO for Chief Operating Officer or maybe CFO for Chief Financial Officer. Yes, those are all titles that are typically used simply to give someone a feeling of significance or to define a person’s status in a corporate pyramid. I’m here to tell you that those titles are a waste of time. You don’t need a title to prove who you are or to put limitations on your strengths or to confine you to societal opinions. The m

A Habit

One of my daily habits, which is the foundation of my life, is spending 45-60 minutes each and every morning feeding my body physically by exercising and feeding my mental spirit either by reading or listening to a motivational message to warm me up for the day ahead. Everyone washes their physical body and feeds their body every morning, but 95% of people will ﬁnd an excuse about why they can not ﬁnd the “TIME” to invest in a habit of feeding their MINDS!

Fellowshipping

Fellowship simply means you need to be spending time with people who are forging forward towards the same objectives as you in life - “SUCCESS”. When you converse with many successful people, they will all say, “I never would have made it if it were not for a few speciﬁc people, who truly believed in me and urged me to stay on track to attain my goals.” Did you know...

1/96th of a Day

1/96th of a day...what does that mean? It means that over a 24-hour period, there are ninety six 15-minute increments. Take one hour and break it down into four 15-minute increments; 4 x 24 = 96. 1/96th of a day (15 minutes), such a small fraction of time, could change your life. What goes in, comes out...is what I consider the major determinant of how your internal spirit affects your whole life. Just 15 minutes a day of feeding this spirit will produce life-altering result

The Two Most Important Days of Your Life

A great friend of mine once said “The two most important days of your life are the day you that were born and the day that you Find Your WHY”. Right now you need to look inside and ask yourself a real serious question, “Have I found my WHY?” You were already born, and you really had no real say over what happened that day. You did not decide to be born. You are here because you are an individual miracle of God, but “Finding Your Why” is up to you and only you. Take a look ar

Tear Up Your “To Do” Lists!

Most of you have those tedious “To Do” list that you create in an effort to get more things done in your day. But let’s take time to really look at your “To Do” list. The actual words “To Do” have a negative connotation, and when you look at that list on a daily basis you think to yourself, “I MUST get this stuff done!”. It’s like meeting a deadline on a daily basis. You absolutely dread it! You should just call it your “To Don’t” list, because it’s not something that you eve

The Power of a Dream

I recently spoke to a Youth Leadership Group, and I was deeply inspired listening to the dreams that the teenagers had for the future. While I was presenting, I felt the group of teenagers begin to realize that it is ok to dream and be proud of what you have done in your life and where you want to go in life. As adults, we need to realize that the power of a dream will enable you to achieve whatever your ultimate “WHY” in life is. By the age 25, most people lose all of their

Being motivated and having dreams for your future is very exciting! Dreamers are always around other dreamers that are EXCITED!
