Letting Go Of A Dream
I saw a post on twitter today about letting your dreams die. When I first saw it I thought ‘how horrible.’ And then I thought about it. Isn’t a dream just a plan, a roadmap, something to propel us forward and achieve? I have been very entrenched in certain dreams. And there is a tonContinue reading “Letting Go Of A Dream”
Take Off Your Mask
I was reading the following this morning http://leaderchat.org/2011/03/21/who-are-you-as-a-leader-6-questions-to-help-with-transparency-and-authenticity/ and two words jumped out, authenticity and transparency. These two words are what true and powerful leadership are about. If you want to be a mediocre leader, don’t worry about being authentic or transparent. People will still follow you, probably because they have to in regards toContinue reading “Take Off Your Mask”
Are You A Person Of Action?
First of all if you are a person that doesn’t like to take responsibility for your life and move forward, do yourself a favor and skip this post.

Subsequently, I do not always have the empathy or capacity to understand the failure to move forward. The prior statement does NOT include those whoContinue reading “Open The Door It Is Freakin’ Opportunity On The Other Side!”
Creativity
“Creativity is…seeing something that doesn’t exist already. You need to find out how you can bring it into being and that way be a playmate with God.” ~ Michele Shea “Stress and frustration are excellent opportunities to tap into and utilize your creativity. The adult version of the Crayola box.” ~Denise Dahl
Built For Success?
“A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.” ~Grace Hopper What are you built for?
Attitude Is Everything
Attitude truly is everything. No time do we appreciate that more than when we are struggling with our own. Two things address this challenge. First a quote from Alan Loy McGinnis, “Focus on your potential instead of your limitations.” As an author and a Christian psychotherapist he knows what he is talking about. Secondly, a quote from Buddha,Continue reading “Attitude Is Everything”
