No More Silence
No More Silence Yesterday, I shared openly on my Facebook Page a thought and idea that had come to me once waking up….. “Silence the child….Silence a soul”! Now where did this come from? This not only referenced how we as adults, teachers, and coaches have the power to influence our youth both positively and negatively…..but how we as individuals silence the child in ourselves. There is that youthfulness in you who dreams….. That youth who wants to scream when the emotions are present…. Who wants to laugh out loud when the feelings fill one up with joy…. Who wants to step off the ledge into the glassy waters and feel…

Act Now
Act Now! As we head into the new year, don’t choose to continue to live life by the calendar. By that I mean, quit waiting for the new week, month, or year to decide to take action. You want to begin working out…..act now! You want to ask a special someone out on a date or for coffee….act now! You want to start your own business…..act now! To become a “new you”, you need to implement unfamiliar actions in your life to get different results than what you’ve been receiving and are unhappy with. The time isn’t tomorrow or next week….the time is now for you to take action in…

Time To Listen
Time To Listen! Now as we begin this New Year and we head into Christmas, many are speaking upon the close of one year and bringing on the new. Resolutions. New Beginnings. And the list of many goes on and on. But what if we didn’t fully live by the calendar? What if we chose to listen to the less common voices whether external or internal of “you got this”…..”you deserve success”….”you deserve happiness”….”it won’t be easy, but your goals and dreams are attainable”? How is it that the above lil statements are overridden by the common voices of doubt, fear, and frustrations? It is time to listen to those…

Pulling The Trigger
Pulling The Trigger! You’re up to bat… Have two strikes on you… You’re suppose to protect the plate by at least fouling off a ball that’s close to being a strike, yet you still freeze at that beachball of a strike which floats across the middle of the strike zone……. Why does one freeze and fear pulling the trigger? Whether speaking upon a tough subject…. Asking someone out on a date…. Or changing your direction in life towards a passion or dream, all of our fears are different as to why we don’t pull the trigger. It’s time for each of us to figure out why we won’t take action,…

Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds…..
“Rewards Are Great If One Succeeds….But Rewards Are Great Only Because So Few Succeed!”~~ The Greatest Salesman In The World This morning I decided to dive back into this easy but powerful read written by Og Mandino….and after having read this and underlining it, I sat on these words for some time. What is it in life which we consider ‘rewards’? What is it in life which we feel we’ve been rewarded for our efforts, yet truly looking at the so-called ‘reward’, we are unfulfilled? It might be that the reward we felt we earned never caused us to grow because we played it safe. Here are a few kickers…

Quotas!
Quotas! Well, now that Thanksgiving is over and so many of us are “thankful” for our families, friends, and whatever else we post on social media….how many of us are truly grateful and appreciative on a daily basis? You know….flowers, chocolates, a card, and dinner on Valentine’s Day! Support the Veterans and troops on Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day! Or showing up to church one day out of the year for Christmas! If this sounds familiar, how do we change this attitude of meeting a “quota” of thanks for days like yesterday, gifts to show our love on a certain day in February, as well as thanking a Veteran or…

Stepping Into Your Strength!
Stepping Into Your Strength! Or as my partner says…..Walking Into Your Wheelhouse!! You see, we are all gifted with something that separates us from many. This gift at times is brought about in a ways we would never want to learn as much as we know. Personally, I have overcome a moment in life as I sat in my bedroom as a grown man and father to two children…..tears, fear and hopelessness filled my heart as I sat on my bed with a Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge inserted into my mouth as my finger began pulling on the trigger. On top of this, I have dealt with over 15…

Demanding Of Others
Demanding Of Others! All of the inspiration of this goes to Eric Thomas, otherwise known as E.T. The HipHop Preacher! The question is how demanding of others are we, rather than hold the expectations or demands of ourselves? Don’t You Dare Fail Me! Don’t You Dare Let Me Down! My Expectations Of You Are High, So Don’t Lose My Respect! Does any of this sound familiar? Your Success Is Dependent Upon You And Your Actions Hold Your Self Respect At A Higher Level Than That Which You Hold On Others Critique And Dissect Your Life And Actions, Rather Than Continuously Critiquing Others Show Others How It Is Done, Rather Than…
