Throughout my life, as I’ve worked with people in so many different capacities, one of my weaknesses is that I always want more for people…see more in them than they do. Tony Robbins tells a story about a young person who joins the coast guard. He’s just graduated from the coast guard academy, and he’sContinue reading “What Would Jesus Do?”

Breaking the fear of success
Back in January/February, I had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in NYC. It was awesome. But…when I found out the address of the hotel, I felt so unworthy. As I was walking there, I passed over all of the fancy streets that you hear about in every movie about high-end NY. Park Avenue.Continue reading “Breaking the fear of success”

The ascent was really cool…a good 30 seconds of my life. TheContinue reading
Heart driven
I’m a heart person who is driven by emotions. I don’t know how not to be. I’ve read books. I’ve been lectured. I’ve tried to be rational. You see, the thing is that, while I am a task oriented achiever, I am also a wordsmith. There are times that I think in verse. I wakeContinue reading “Heart driven”
