A very long time ago I made a commitment to myself to get better in every aspect of my life. The first step to manifesting that goal was to Do better every day, every week, every month and every year. Everyday since that faithful day many years ago was perfect. Not necessarily a good day...

Some of us talk a big talk Some of us say family comes first but then don't act on it. I claim I've had a hard life. Yet, lots of it was fantastic. Growing up family had strong values. Like in every family there were good examples and bad ones. If we allow ourselves, we... Continue Reading →
How committed are you to being happy? Enough to make those you love happy? Enough to jump out of your comfort zone and take a chance with no guarantee of success? How committed are you to your commitments? Enough to make decisions that affect everyone around you? How personal is your purpose? Enough to have... Continue Reading →
Often I've quoted a young girls version of what resilience means, a promise to yourself never to give up. I refuse to live with regrets. Can't do anything about the past but you can do something about your now and your future. I often meditate on that definition. Years ago I made myself this promise... Continue Reading →
What was the hardest personal goal you've set for yourself? Grateful that I've pushed myself to reach many hard goals. I'm glad the question is "set for yourself", rather than achieved. Because the hardest ones I've set for myself, I've failed at. Some I've achieved: 1000 miles ran in one year weighing over 250 Total... Continue Reading →
With all the books we read, the documentaries we watch, the techniques we learn, the religions we practice, the application of it onto our daily life seems to escape us. What is knowledge without application but entertainment? What good is quoting philosophers or scriptures without application but the ego showing off? What is a physical... Continue Reading →
What’s the trait you value most about yourself? Many years ago I decided to change my life and I did just that. I set up values and began to live by them. I once heard of a young girl defining resilience as a promise you make yourself never to give up. Many years ago, I... Continue Reading →
Sometimes we have elaborate excuses camouflaged as reasons for things going wrong. Maybe the project failed. Maybe your plan was ruined by unforeseen issues. Maybe finances haven't been realized as you planned. Or whatever. We are really good at pointing out where the fault came from. We have a keen eye for why things went... Continue Reading →
Many years ago I was recommended a little book by an extraordinary man. At that time, some twenty years ago or so, I needed that book and advice it gave deeply. I would say that very simple and little book helped me change my way of thinking for the rest of my life. The book... Continue Reading →
Oh Nooo... not another diet! Nope. No new diet here. But an old lifestyle way of eating yes. A diet but not a diet. I've pretty much always known that eating whole foods is healthier than not. However, until recently I didn't realize how many nutrients we actually take in when we eat whole foods.... Continue Reading →
The more you execute, the more you fail at things.The more you execute, the more you achieve.The more selective you become with those you keep around you, the less friends you'll have.The more you keep away from cancers, the healthier you become.The heavier you lift and the more miles you run, the more sore you'll...

Don't you wish you knew some of the things you know now sooner in life? Would it make a difference? In my case yes, no, and maybe. Yes I wish I knew some things sooner for example that the food I eat can prevent diabetes, cancer, heart disease, obesity, and all kinds of unnecessary health... Continue Reading →
Not everyone needs to understand your mission. Do you have a mission? Do you have a purpose for today? Do you have a goal today? Or are you just trying to skate by like today doesn't matter? I'm currently 46. Let's say I live until I'm 80 if I'm really lucky. That's 34 years left... Continue Reading →
Since the beginning of social media it seems folks only post the best highlights of their lives, they pick and choose the best poses, and they post their best meals. Social media and truth don't always go hand in hand. Being that these blogs are meant primarily for my children, I want them to know... Continue Reading →
I heard someone talk about no zero days. I never heard that term but I got it immediately. A zero day is a day you do zero towards your goals, dreams, and wishes for your life. How are we okay wasting a day of our lives? Admittedly, I've had many zero days in my life.... Continue Reading →
I recall as a child using my imagination creating board games, creating highways in the dirt for my hot wheels and playing pretend which I believe all nourished my creativity and imagination. "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”Albert Einstein Growing up I remember tinkering with things such as... Continue Reading →
As I sit at the beach meditating after a nice run, I begin to pray. Such a beautiful afternoon. I thank God for creating this beautiful ocean. Then I stop myself and wonder if God is indeed the ocean, along with everything else. It would be silly to thank him for his creation if he... Continue Reading →
I often speak to folks about their jobs, performance, wants, and dislikes. Many times I get lots of wants and a sense of entitlement from folks who are in no position of expecting the rewards they seek. No man's knowledge here can go beyond his experience. John Locke I’ve learned that after I walk away... Continue Reading →
Disclaimer: If you are religious, stop here, close the window and move on. If you’re more spiritual than religious then maybe you can handle what I have to say. If you are religious and you chose to continue, please do not create conflict by trying to make me believe in your “truths”. I try to... Continue Reading →
Admittedly, I don't pray nearly as much as I probably should. When I do, I usually focus on being grateful and thankful. The only things I usually ask for are for protection, grace, and mercy on my family, especially my three sons. Today at prayer service I pondered if it's ok to pray for abundance....

A day we are accustomed to celebrate fathers. For me it is a day to reflect on fatherhood. I reflect on my father and what his motivations, desires, and thoughts were as he raised us. I reflect on those who played the part of a father at one time or another in my life such... Continue Reading →
Self love, well that’s a loaded phrase. What does it mean? What does it entail? How does one practice it? What’s the best way to go about it? I know, lots of questions on this one. This morning I woke up early and went about my morning routine. One of the practices I try to... Continue Reading →
I admit, I've come a long way in my maturity through my journey. One of the proudest elements that I've evolved from has been my anger. I carried a scary rage for anger for a long time. Being expelled from multiple schools, and constantly getting in trouble over my anger as a youth was something... Continue Reading →
Prayer Day 1 June 6, 2023 As you know, I am not a religious man. Nevertheless, I practice that which serves me and helps me gain understanding and/or grow. I’ve read much on the effects, science, and almost supernatural powers that praying has. So the opportunity arise to be able to go pray and learn... Continue Reading →
While on my run last night I wondered what my obituary would say. I thought about asking someone to write one for me to see. Immediately I thought that would be pretty egotistical. It felt as if I would be begging for good things to say about me. So I asked myself the question. Can... Continue Reading →
Change your life in a single moment That's right. I have the secret of changing your entire life in one single moment. How do I know this? Because I did it myself. Since that single moment, I have acquired a career, a stable relationship, established a home, recreated my entire mindset, walked a completely different... Continue Reading →
Resilience You bust your behind hard enough, long enough, you don't complain, you grow daily, you earn every bit of your life. Life begins to feel like it should. Then the floor falls off from under your feet and you find yourself in a place you never expected to ever be. The comeback of that... Continue Reading →
There's a main voice we constantly hear in our heads. Then there's the many voices that sound like a loud bar with bad music. We usually have both sets of voices. What is your morning routine? The voice you hear asking you that question and the one narrating your agenda is the voice we constantly... Continue Reading →

Do I need a Bio? What does my Bio even look like? Well…. I guess it would look a little like this, What I look like and who I am doesn't fit in a box. Standing at 6'5'' and weighing in at 275 lbs I stand out a bit. I try not to, but when... Continue Reading →
