Write it down!
“The discipline of writing something down
is the first step to making it happen.”
Lee Iacocca
Some say that they don’t have time,
others say they don’t need to,
but the bottom line is, writing a goal is a commitment.
A commitment to you, and a commitment to owning what you want.
Yet so many aren’t willing to commit to what they [...]
Credit and Blame…
“Take your life in your own hands and what happens?
A terrible thing: no one to blame.”
Erica Jong
I have had two very interesting exchanges with people recently, both cases were with people that were trying to convince me (which meant that they were trying to convince themselves), that they had no control around something in their [...]
Go…FASTER!
“The more one hurries, the less time they have.”
The Universe
“If only I had more time…”
“There aren’t enough hours in the day…”
“I wish I could clone myself, because just one of me can’t get it all done!”
At one time or another, many of us have felt like there simply was too much to do, and not [...]
What you do NOT do…
“If you don’t go after what you want,
you’ll never have it.
If you don’t ask,
the answer is always no.
If you don’t step forward,
you’re always in the same place.”
Nora Roberts
You are right-
there IS a risk in taking a risk.
There IS an unknown.
There IS a possibility that something won’t work,
and a chance you will not succeed.
But, there [...]
Money is not it.
“If your only goal is to become rich,
you will never achieve it.”
John D. Rockefeller
Money.
So many believe it will make you happy.
(It doesn’t.)
So many believe that is why people stay in jobs, or leave jobs.
(It isn’t.)
So many think that it will solve/fix/eliminate your problems.
(It won’t.)
So many think money will do it all.
(It can’t.)
Money is necessary to [...]
Who is driving your car?
“If you don’t design your own life plan,
chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan.
And guess what they might have planned for you?
Not much.”
Jim Rohn
Imagine your life as a journey, and you are moving through it by car.
Have you ever stopped to wonder, who is driving the car?
Are you driving it?
Are you the one in [...]
Emotional Intelligence
“You and I do not see things as they are.
We see things as we are.”
Herb Cohen
Emotional Intelligence, or EQ, is an amazing framework for assessing
the most important factor in your personal and professional life….
YOU.
We all experience life, and all of our relationships and interactions in it,
through an individual lens, or filter.
This lens frames every [...]
Forever
This was written after sitting with a mother,
as she tried to explain how she feels living through another day
of her daughter’s addiction.
Dedicated to every family out there
who is loving their child through this struggle…

Forever
When you love,
with this kind of love,
you love forever.
Through all of it…
the unexpected,
the uneventful,
the unimaginable,
the unseen.
Through the surprises,
through the years,
it continues [...]
Courage
“Courage is not the absence of fear,
but rather the judgment that something else
is more important
than fear.”
Ambrose Redmoon
When you’re driving, you can’t always see what’s coming on the road, can you?
But yet you keep moving forward.
You drive, and you trust that even when you can’t see what is ahead,
you know that there is a road,
and that [...]
