You Can’t Do That!

Has anyone ever said these words to you? They have been said countlessly through time, only to be proven wrong by someone who dared to believe the impossible. I’m talking about a belief that resounds inside someone so strong that it lunges them past what others thought they could achieve. Many feats have been accomplished…

The Faith Connection

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. In a similar way, faith is the shortest distance from where you are now to where you want to be. In order to get to the next level in your life, it’s going to require faith. Stepping out of your comfort zone is not an…

Not by Choice

Things happen in life in ways that we do not approve. We aren’t always given the choice in how things go. When stuff happens, the only thing we have control of is how we choose to see the situation. Will you be angry, bitter, and resentful? Why me? I am a good person… why? The…

Not Now

If we are honest with ourselves, this phrase comes out of our mouth all the time. We know something has to be done, but we do not like to say to ourselves, “I’m not going to do it”. That would make us feel guilty. Instead, we have cleverly convinced ourselves in a subtle way. We…

Kicking a Habit

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…

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. But that’s the thing, you have to choose them, on purpose. It’s not that we don’t know all this stuff already. So why bring it up? Simply because most…

What’s the Big Deal?

Quite possibly that’s a very serious question. It is dangerous because it implicates that something is not important. The trouble with that behavior is that it can run through an individual on pretty much every level within them. This does not mean that everything needs to be a big deal. But you must be diligent…
