How much time do you spend working for the future? Looking forward to when you will have the right car, house, mate or job? As a student, maybe you believe you can start living the life you really want once you graduate. If you already have a job or “career,” maybe you are waiting for retirement. What if you…

Today, I slept in and then spent 45 minutes in the gym. I was hungry when I awoke and really hungry after working out. Fast forward 1 hour. Still, no food. I’m waiting for my wife to join me. My body is hungry and I’m not answering. It won’t be long before wanting becomes screaming, the headache will get…

I will start writing when I have a new computer (I have an old one now). I will start shooting videos when I have a new camera (my phone shoots videos now). I will work out when I can afford a gym membership (I can do push-ups now). What stops us from using the resources…

If you don’t have time, why is that? Too much to do? Priorities aren’t straight? Too many demands? Maybe you haven’t thought of this one, but too much stuff leads to too little time. Too much stuff in your closet means it takes more time to get dressed. Too much stuff on your desk means…

Despite my best efforts. Despite my wants, wishes, hopes and dreams. Despite my unremitting attention to fitness, food, family and fun. Despite what Krewella says, attempts to “make this fleeting moment last forever” are, well, fleeting. Time. Moves. On. For me, turning 50 just kind of happened. I didn’t have to plan for it. It wasn’t on my…

What if I really am dying? If I can put myself in that frame of mind, I might be surprised at my response. What is truly important in life? What is a waste of time? How should I spend each day? How important are other people’s opinions? Do I really need 10 boxes of books that…

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 Regardless of your “religion,” you have probably heard that phrase. But, have you thought about it? Was it a passing thought or did you think deeply about it? What is “it?” How you spend your money . . . and your time.  Which…

I just found an old bottle that must have a genie inside. “Should I rub it?”, I thought. So I did. Time passed. Nothing. More time. Nothing. Then . . . out she came. Emerging from the smoke. Scantily clad in pink garb. “I am a genie and I’m here to grant you three wishes,” she…

When you lay a board or heavy object on your lawn and leave it there, the grass dies. Or, does it? Removing the object and leaving the ground exposed leads to almost miraculous  results. Eventually, the grass begins to grow and replace what was “dead” with new growth . . . new life. We often…

That’s the best prescription for success. If you never get in the game, you have a 100 percent chance of failure. The problem with most people is that they equate mistakes with failure. In fact, you cannot succeed without failure. Consequently, a life without mistakes is a life without success. Thomas J. Watson, founder of…
