resources are invested in solving the wrong problem.

  • Are you driving your goals or are conditions driving you?

    Some attachments don’t look like attachments at all. They look like discipline, growth or self care… a healthy desire for quiet, space… a perfectly mapped out day envisioned… lists complete, categorized and prioritized. Let this day begin. And then life steps in. Nothing catastrophic but your schedule shifts, the timing is off, the atmosphere isn’t…

  • It’s not that easy to pay the price if you can’t see the promise

    When I am exceedingly tired, it’s very difficult for me to read, but I’ve found ways to listen to books or podcasts so I can still benefit from the information. I use both Scribd and Spotify. I love listening to Jim Rohn. He’s funny, but practical, and tells it like it is. While listening to…

  • Are You Ready to Conquer the Behaviours that Sabotage your Success?

  • The Gospel of Discontent

When we are content we sometimes can stop the wheels of our own progress. Work up a lather around being dissatisfied about where you are, and…

  • The Power isn’t in the Money…

    Radix Malorum est Cupiditas – The LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Money doesn’t grow on trees If I just had more money I would… It’s sad that so much faith is put in money. We think about money ALL the time. Getting more. Getting by. Getting out of debt. Winning the…

  • If you can see it, then you start to feel it…

      There is a beautiful song by Tuck and Patti called Dream that I loved the first time I ever heard it. It’s all about turning our dreams into reality and so there is a part in the song that gives instructions as to how to do that… If you can see it Then you…

  • How to get what you say you want

    According to Wikipedia ‘a pet fence or fence-less boundary is a wire around the perimeter of a home, designed to keep a pet within the boundaries of the property without the use of a physical barrier. The wire (which may be buried) carries a radio signal, while the pet wears a lightweight receiver collar which…
