With Mother’s day just over a week behind us gratitude is a value most likely fresh on our minds. As we discussed a few weeks back, the challenge to make meaningful use of what is, is to be truly grateful for all things that come our way. How are you doing with that task? Where are you finding difficulties and where are you finding success? The impact of living in gratitude is so robust that once you fully reach it, it’s nearly impossible to imagine living life any other way.

Never put off till tomorrow what can be done today. I can’t count how many times I’ve heard this phrase over the course of my life. I’m sure it’s something very familiar to you as well. Yet how many times in a day, week, month, and year do you find yourself saying “Oh I’ll get to it later”. And when later rolls around, we still find all the reasons to avoid, evade, and bypass taking action. The seemingly adapted notion, as a society, that time is boundless, endless, and everl

The beginning of the year is always naturally a time of reflection and resolution. It is often said that you can’t know where you are going unless you know where you have been. Moving into 2017 has been deep for many of us. I for one, am grateful for the road I’ve traveled and hopeful for the journey that lies ahead. One of the resolves I have committed to this year is that of positive energy. Positive defined as a good, affirmative, or constructive quality or attribute. And

Do you remember what your first set of dreams were? You know, what you told people you wanted to be when you grew up way back when. Or what your ideal life looked like. I’m talking your earliest memories… when you were perhaps five or six year old. When your imagination was most likely at its best. Pure and free to create and come up with whatever it could dream. Imagine that you still had that innocence and carefree attitude at the age you are now. Of course as adults we all

Distractions are everywhere. In this day and age it’s almost impossible not to be inundated with the internet, social media, text messages, streaming music, phone calls, videos, etc… Most of us who are under the age of 50 are driven by technology and the vast presence it now has within our lives makes it nearly impossible to operate otherwise. The advancement of the smart phone in the past 10 years has drastically shifted our mindset and way of life in so many ways. We’ve all

Most often when we think of strength we think of physical aptitude. How much muscle mass someone has stored to exert physical energy. Common images that come to mind might be flexed arms, a six pack, or strong legs. Or you might think of someone lifting weights or some other heavy object. The dictionary defines strength first and foremost as the quality or state of being physically strong. Secondly it defines it as the ability to resist being moved or broken by a force. Final

I’ve done a lot of talking about the act of doing in the last few weeks… setting Goals, making them S.M.A.R.T., stretching beyond your normal limits, designing accountability, etc… As important as those elements are toward becoming the best version of yourself the state which you are living is just as important. I like to think of this as your energy. Similar to the energy that it takes for electricity to power things up, cars to run, we as people carry around and are fueled

Well, you’ve done it again! You’ve made it through another month of hard work and hopefully you are feeling stronger than ever. We’ve actively discussed goal setting, how to get S.M.A.R.T., stretching beyond our limits and the impact we have within the world. That’s quite a bit of ground to cover in a short amount of time and guess what? You’ve done it. I would first like to personally thank you for hanging in there with me over the past nine weeks and secondly I would like y
