Independence
Independence Happy Fourth Of July, for those of you in the states! Through the barbecues, fireworks, and festivities…..what does this day represent to you? And how can we apply to our personal lives what this day represents? This past week, myself and Jason participated in Danny Page’s “7 Day Facebook Video Challenge”……. A challenge where we expose our truths…..and by that, I mean the unedited versions of ourselves. The lies we tell ourselves as well as the lies we tell others end up constricting us. They hinder us from the freedoms of who we really are as individuals. They keep us from being individuals with faults and not allowing ourselves…

Chances: You Never Know!
Chances: You Never Know! There are times in life where we come to the crossroads where action needs to be taken. There are times in our lives where all the study and preparation is great and all…..but it is all for not if there is no action to be taken. Chances: reaching out to a man about helping him with his event by having him as a guest on our podcast….. Chances: interviewing three of the four speakers to be taking stage at a first time event…. Chances: meeting many individuals from various backgrounds that are all in search of the same thing…. “Meltdown In The Desert” brought many individuals together for…

Decisions
DECISIONS! There are times where the decisions we make will not be known as either right or wrong…..until the story has been written. Lebron James is a prime example of just that…… We fear criticism….. We fear judgement….. We fear the other side of the fence and it’s greener grass….. We fear that the decisions we make may have been the wrong one’s, but we forget who and what the process is going to create. Lebron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers has just signified his decision to go back to his home team in attempt to win an NBA Championship…..and had he never pulled it off, it would have been…

Light And Shadows
Light And Shadows In the above pic, whether in the shadows or in the light….you’re still on the mountain. Too many times we fail to lose sight of where we really are in life. We’re making the climb towards a destination, and even though we’re making progress we put focus on whether the light is shining upon us rather than any progress that has been made. Along our paths, remember that the journey is ‘our own personal journey’. Though we might be on the same trails, there is something that each of us is attempting to conquer that is unique to us, and only us. There will be filters and…

Struck Down By Our Own Caution
Struck Down By Our Own Caution “So many of us think ourselves into smallness, into inferiority, by thinking downward. We are held back by too much caution. We are timid about venturing. We are not bold enough. And so we die before we reach middle age, although we will not be lowered into the ground until we pass three score and ten.”~~ Og Mandino: “The Choice” Living by caution allows us to be safe…..or does it really? Sometimes you just have to ‘jump’!! Safety is not living in fear Security is not hiding in darkness as our cautions keep us from spreading our wings A cautious lifestyle does not…

Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page
Out Of The Ashes Of Existence: Danny Page No Outlets.,…False Successes….God’s Letdown….Lazy….Compulsive….Lies….Self-Centered….Rage….And the list goes on and on, right?! You see, there are times in our lives where the above words hit us where it hurts. They hit us when we choose to tell ourselves the lies that “we are perfect and in control”, as we hide from our truths. It is then we find ourselves living a ‘life of existence’. We hide and turn from the mirrors, eventually becoming that child that hides in the dark closet with our security blanket, waiting to be saved from an unknown light! When we choose to release the ‘power’ we falsely…

Sides of the Same Coin
Sides of the Same Coin “You can’t have all the athletic talent and abilities, without the acne”~~Garrett J. White There are aspects of us which we try to hide from others…..yet we feel some animosity towards those who openly share and reveal both sides of the the same coin We judge those who share the good and ‘maybe not so good’ openly Personally, I’d rather know both sides of the coin, than see that there is something being hidden, which slithers as a snake in the grass disguising itself as something harmless The beauty of social media is we can all portray ourselves as something special…..Father of the year;…

Circle Of Influences
Circle Of Influences In this episode I share a story I got from the book “He-Motions: Even Strong Men Struggle” written by T.D. Jakes….. Sometimes we find ourselves as little kids waiting for someone to take a hammer and chisel to carve out steps upon our ‘boulders of life’ to help us from one end of the boulder to the other side But we find ourselves waiting for certain individuals to carve out steps of appreciation or support, not realizing that those individuals are the actual boulders that are hindering us on our paths All the while, ignoring those who’ve taken the time and energy to do that which we…
