The Power of Your True Potential
I’ve stumbled across something amazing. I really want to share this with you guys. I was watching a Tony Robbins video on YouTube and he was telling a story that really hit home. I could probably write a thousand tribute posts to his work and it wouldn’t even scratch the surface of his inspiring ideas. But I want to concentrate on just one powerful message today. Tony stated that for years and years nobody could run a 4 minute mile. It just didn’t seem possible. People tried and tried, but nobody could do it. However, in May of 1954 a man named Roger Bannister ran the mile in...
read moreMy Pledge: Morning Motivation
I am the king of the snooze button. Those of you who read my blog know that I have a personal vendetta against my snoozing ways and that I’m on a quest to bring life into the early mornings. This is the single biggest rule I am breaking. Although I sometimes jump to alertness at the sound of my alarm, all too often I am reaching out for an extra 10 minutes of dream-time. I know I’m not the only one. I can’t be, right? I have spoken to quite a few people about this issue and it seems that most people have a problem with waking up at the first alarm. Some people are content with it; and...

Creative People. . . Assemble! I wasn’t planning on writing this post but this is the fourth attempt at writing something of quality in the last 10 minutes. So I’m going to vent. There is a pattern of thinking that sometimes happens when I sit down to write (and I’m sure it happens to you too). First of all there is the idea. Aha! Our fingers start moving and we start churning out sentences that we didn’t even know existed within our mind. Suddenly our ideas are spilling out onto the computer screen creating beautifully worded blog posts that we hope to God, people are actually...
read more“Yeah, BUT” – Are You Guilty of This Communication Faux-Pas?
Ahh, those famous words. I have been guilty of this expression in years gone by despite knowing the ineffectiveness of its use in getting my point across. I sometimes imagine myself on my deathbed still unaccepting the situation. “Yeah, BUT, I looked both ways before I crossed the road.” “Yeah, BUT, it wasn’t my fault!” We are all guilty of over-using these words from time to time. Usually when defending our case in an argument, or trying to display our innocence when blame is lurking around the corner. For the record; I am not in an ivory-tower looking down on you with judgement....
read moreFuck The World: I Just Want Sleep
Now let me start by saying that I am not a morning person by nature. In fact, I hate mornings. When I woke up today I was having the most amazing dream. You know the ones that could easily be made into a movie. The kind of dream that leaves you cursing that you didn’t find out the dramatic climax. The city around me was a sinking ship. The water had risen and only the tallest buildings still remained. I was with a hot girl, wooing her as we boated to the different hotels that survived the flood. We were trying to get a room so we could make it through the devastation. And, well.. you...
