Bad habits can be hard to overcome. On the other hand, creating new habits takes us out of our comfort zone. Despite the fact that some of our habits are destructive, we continue on with them like robots, not questioning why these tasks are being carried out. Remember, this is your life! You get to…
Always Rushed?
Life is hectic. But how much of the rush is caused by our own decisions? After thinking about it, most of us can readily admit this is true. When you acknowledge and take responsibility for your decisions, you can identify things done on a regular basis that create your rushed lifestyle. Here are three simple…
A Word of Caution
What if every word you said came to pass today in your life? Would you be happy or freaked out? Words are usually taken for granted. We hear so many words throughout any given day that we tend not pay attention to them. But words have weight. Rather than talking, listen to others around you.…
Where You Finish
It’s not where you start but where you finish that counts. Many people show up at the starting line. But at the end of a long race, few are at the finish line. Through all the agony and suffering, these are those who refuse to quit. At the start of any race, crowds of people…
Do Something
Time management, exercise, a healthy diet; all these are great goals to set. There are so many other goals which are also worthwhile to choose from.

Chances are, the offender has long since moved on. Meanwhile you are still thinking about it. Becoming offended is like getting stuck…
“Now” People
This world needs more “now people”. When an authority figure asks you to do something, when does it get done? Right away? Or do you dread doing the task and delay starting as long as possible? Why wait? Do it now! (Let every mother say amen!) Be a yes person who does not wallow around…

Fork in the Road
What is it that separates us from the best things life has to offer? I’m convinced it’s mostly us. Yes, there are other hindrances along our path in life. However, we have the power to change so many things in our lives if we stay on course. Is success achievable? Yes, but think of it…
