Resolutions - The Word That Makes Them Last

I realize I'm asking you to read a full length article on the last day of the year, but if you want things to change.  I mean really change, then please take the time to read this.  I want to be very honest and up front from the start.  Words themselves do not create anything.  Words that cause us to take action do.  I'll get to the most powerful word shortly. ...

With Just A Shred Of Hope

With Just A Shred Of HopeThe stories of beating back the challenges handed down throughout history are the shoulders you and I and the next generation will stand on to reach higher.  Never downplay the power of a story and the inspiration it can impart on another who may be close to calling it quits.  Stopping, as I have shared with thousands over the years is what steals away all ...

A Footprint In The Snow

A FootprintToday's perspective is not about work.  It's about reflection.  As the year draws to a close we can look back on the past year and ponder the road ahead.  So much of everything we do throughout life comes down in the final analysis to what we did.  The difference we made.  The impact we left.  The footprints our time here left behind.   Tonight sitting watching a Christmas movie ...

Don't Give Your Consent

Don't Give Your ConsentYou have choice.  I have choice.  We were all born with choice but somewhere along the path of life it would appear that we begin to lose it.  Having choice is the ability to make decisions.  The right decisions.  Decisions that your neighbour or partner or friend or the world may not agree with but decisions that are right for you nonetheless.  As we travel along throughout ...

The ThoughtI speak often of a question I found as a young man that changed everything for me.  "What if where I am now has nothing to do with where I can go"?  It didn't and this process, more than anything, is what fascinates me.  Movement from where we are to where we want to be however requires more than just thought.  It is the combination of thought and action ...

Prove It To Me

Prove It To MeWe are without question a "Show me" species.  In pursuit of nearly every goal and every challenge we want to see that the mountain has been conquered and the trail clearly blazed.  Mount Everest is a great example of that.  Give or take a few days this pile of rock has existed for about 60 million years.  Man never set foot on the summit however until May 29,1953.  Sir ...

Thank The Rain For The Rainbow

Thank The RainThere are so many great quotes that put into perspective the yin and yang of life.  "You get what you pay for.  Nothing is for free.  Aspiration without perspiration is a recipe for delusion",  and on they go.  These are not just simple quotes but absolutes of life.  It takes effort to move anything.  Create anything.  Change anything.  Win at anything.  This effort most often involves challenges and ...

When You Believe Anything Is Possible

Anything Is PossibleI get asked all the time what the most important element of personal and professional growth is.  Hands down, every time its belief.  Just consider this.  "How do things turn out in life that you "believe" you are good at"? Most times pretty well.  Now consider this, "How to things turn out that you don't believe you are good at"?  Most times not very well at all.  The ...
