In a conversation with a guy from San Diego earlier this week, we discussed some life-changing concepts. He mostly discussed things that I can focus on in my life to narrow down my goals and remove clutter from my path. More or less a session on how to re-focus my life. Remove what’s not helping […]
Motivation
I’ve been a task-oriented, checklist driven fool for years now. I’ve lived and died by my To Do list in Outlook for what seems like an eternity. Reflecting during some quiet time this weekend, I thought to myself, “Why would you create such a massive list of things to do?”. Seriously. I’d wake up thinking […]
Over the years, I have read many books, attended many seminars and repeatedly listened to successful men and women expound to me their wisdom. Quite a bit of that wisdom you have seen written in this blog. Whether it be guarding your tongue, working on your relationships with others or just simply improving your thought […]
Did you ever play with one of those “Paint By The Numbers” kits as a child? Actually used a brush and not some “Program” on your PC? Didn’t we all? My first one I remember quite well. It’s not everyday that you can forget a velvet portrait of the movie poster for “Star Wars”. Yeah, […]

In my last post, we started exploring your past and categorizing it by time frame. You should have taken the good, the bad and the ugly and created a list of highs and lows in your life. Did you do that? Good! Now what you want to do is take some time and meditate on […]
Last week, we spoke about finding out what moves you. Things that you’ve experienced in your life that has such a deep impact on you that you simply cannot explain away as “just an emotion” or “a momentary lapse of reason”.
