There are people you are going to encounter along your life path that think and truly believe they have experienced everything and learned all they need to know in this lifetime. This could not be further from the truth! We never stop learning or growing. Physically, yes, you will probably stop growing and as time [...]
Today ask yourself this one question. Do your actions align with your goals? Based on your current daily routine, where do you expect to be in the next five years? I've encountered very few people in my 29 (soon to be 30) years on this Earth that don't have a dream for their life in [...]
Today ask yourself this one question. Does it matter to you if people don't like you? What do you do when other people don't like you? Does it anger or upset you? Do you even let it phase you? The saying goes, "it's none of your business what others think of you." Unfortunately at times [...]

Never be afraid to learn something new! Never be afraid to admit you are wrong. Finding errors in your thinking or understanding is more intelligent then pretending we have all the answers. No one does - not even myself. It's not always easy to admit, but a little humility will provide you opportunities to grow [...]
Life is lived forward but only understood backwards. It is only when we've lived through something that we can really understand why it took place. I've been doing a lot of this lately, reflecting on my own life and finding out things I never even knew. Not only that, it's helping me understand myself better [...]
Today ask yourself this one question. Are you making excuses in your life? It's usually the mistakes that continue to repeat themselves that demonstrate we're missing a lesson we should have learned.
