That means you're not settling for the norms and that you're passionate about your goal and desire to achieve success in your life. When we're competing in a team sport or... Continue Reading →

I know that's a heck of a title. I'm a big believer in the saying by Norman Vincent Peale — 'Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.' I have a reputation for setting some very high goals. Usually personal goals so if I fail they don't hurt anyone else.... Continue Reading →
Most of the nuggets of wisdom that I come in contact with are usually from self talk. After a busy days worth of work and frustrations I asked myself the question, How do I get myself motivated? Then I realize that I'm asking the wrong question. The right question is, how do I build the... Continue Reading →
Too many of us expect to tweak our normal routine and immediately see results. The truth is that most of the time we won't see results for quite a while. All my life I've heard, practice makes perfect. Yet again this is one of those erroneous beliefs we must unlearn. Many years ago I identified... Continue Reading →
I've read and heard this quote a million times and yet, I just don't agree with it. I fear failure, maybe because I'm still in the game of life and not just talking about the past. I say, be fearful, be scared shitless of failing. It keeps you on your feet. Keeps your heart pumping.... Continue Reading →
I've heard and read since I was very young that we should be humble. Now, this can cause lots of confusion because we as human beings can be so great and so poor at language.We must be confident in life in order to have a greater chance to succeed, yet not cocky. The basic differences... Continue Reading →
Junior was 8 years old and seemed to always have an excuse for everything. Anytime that constructive criticism or reprimand was given to him there was always someone to blame but himself. Junior grew anxious and sad because things would just not go his way most of the time. It was usually his brothers fault,... Continue Reading →
Let's imagine that before we got to this beautiful green earth that we were spiritual beings. Let's pretend that we were the invisible: the Spirit, the Heart, the Mind, the Soul that we all deep down know we are. To keep it short let's call it simply the spirit. Furthermore, to top it off let's... Continue Reading →
Ones upon a time I had a huge void within. This void attracted anything and everything without judgement, without prescreening, and without any requirements. I wholeheartedly believe that many people have had this exact feeling at some point or another and quite possibly still feeling it. Through this time in my life I needed "friends"...

We often run away from anything painful. We usually avoid emotional, physical and mental pain. We seek out comfort. Although for safety reasons that all makes sense, when we study the great folks who have achieved great success and wisdom they usually have something in common. They went through a great deal of emotional, mental... Continue Reading →
In life we all know that we must work really hard for a really long time in order to achieve any kind of success in all our endeavors. Although many times we put in 100% from the beginning of the day until wend of the day there are times when we just don't feel like... Continue Reading →
Nobody wants to live with regrets. However we often refrain from taking chances that could lead us to a brighter tomorrow. We too often make excuses for ourselves with, "well I might have not met such and such or had my kids, etc." What if the truth is that you could've optimized your life and... Continue Reading →
Disclaimer To the religious ones, please read until the end before you judge. This may make so much sense to you. To the non-believer, please read until the end before you judge.This may make so much sense to you. Today in church I came to the conclusion that our relation to God may be the... Continue Reading →
Why are we always looking forward to the weekend? Why do we embrace the day of rest with no plans in place? Why don't we enjoy Mondays? Why are we reving up for Friday on hump day (Wednesday)? I think we really need to reflect on those questions. Unless you're planning on going on a... Continue Reading →
I know of no one like me. I don't know anyone with an optimistic attitude like mine. I don't know anyone with a drive like mine. I don't know anyone with my commitment. I don't know anyone who holds themselves accountable like I do. I don't know anyone whose trained their self talk like I... Continue Reading →
Been working on me for a very long time. Attempting to become the best version of myself. Currently at a solid 2.5 out of 10 in arriving at my best version. Definitely an amateur, a student, a white belt. Nevertheless, eagerly and actively learning and absorbing everything I can that helps me in the journey... Continue Reading →
I struggle with not sharing my journey at times. Sometimes I feel that I'm inspiring by sharing my journey. Then at times I think I bother some folks by making them feel like I'm judging them that they're not doing enough. Some may feel that I am sharing something negative, that what I do is... Continue Reading →
I'd like to be nonjudgmental here and say that it's ok to live however you choose to live your life. I guess the better question is, should you live a mediocre life? The answer to that question is absolutely no! Is your existence mediocre? That's a huge no. Your existence literally took a miracle. According... Continue Reading →

What if I told you the formula for changing your life was simple and easy? What if I told you that you can begin changing your life within minutes? What if I told you that you can begin pealing back the layers of negativity and lies away immediately? All of the above is true. What... Continue Reading →
Work on me If I don't work on me I'm not going to be good enough for my children, wife, family or team. Be better than you was yesterday. All in Mentality Don't do anything half ass, not even three quarters in. All in or nothing. Do it to a fault. Self Talk The relationship... Continue Reading →
One day I realized that I was using that statement to create excuses. They're ALL my battles! Prioritize your battles. Organize them in such a way that by fighting certain battles first, you'll eliminate other battles. When we hear "pick and choose your battles!", Something rings true. Nevertheless, it is usually used to cop out... Continue Reading →
Throughout the years I've realized that to empower others is extremely important. Definitely a lesson I learned well into my leadership career. One thing I learned a long time ago probably by way of examples was to take full on control of a situation, own it, make it your own, begin to build it and... Continue Reading →
Growing up in this world isn't exactly easy. However, our mind is so great that we adapted to our environment in order to survive. This process is done mostly without our assistance, like an auto pilot. So we can assume that for the better part of 25 years many if not most of us operate... Continue Reading →
Motivation is nothing more than a little boost in a long race. What's better than motivation is discipline and consistency. Be determined to work hard every day without fail. I promise you, you will not always be motivated. But you can make sure to be action based and all about executing. Plans, talks and day... Continue Reading →
Always have high standards for yourself, those you call your close friends, your business, and life in general. Have the discipline to uphold those standards. Most importantly, hold yourself Painfully Accountable for your actions and inactions. Example: I am in my 28th day of running an average of 4 miles a day, Everyday as punishment... Continue Reading →
Hard work wins it all The miles on the watch are great so I can beat my best every day, every week, every month and every year.It keeps me in the fight or race of me against me. However, the miles that matter the most are the ones I'm putting on my mind. Hardwork relates... Continue Reading →
DedicationDeterminationCommitment A great place to get this kind of experience is running. Running SUCKS! We must suffer in order to grow. We tell the mind who's boss here. The mind wants to quit, give up, go take a nap. But we tell the body "Not today!" In running we really get to see how much... Continue Reading →
5/18 For the year of the Vision, this has been extremely interesting and we're not even half the year in. Many folks got a much needed break from the hustle and bustle. I don't think most asked for this break but I don't hear many complaints about not working. Like many folks out there I... Continue Reading →
