Your Best Friend Is Weeping…
Today I wanted to share with you a story. A story of your best friend. I want you to make sure and understand that you’ve had this best friend since the very day you arrived on this earth. And this best friend has never left your side. They’ve been through it with you every step of the way. The ups and downs, the pain and the power. All of it. Today I want to share a story with you about that best friend. And the fact that too many times they have sat next to you with their head in their hands weeping for you. I hope that today’s message…

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…

Nothing and Everything!
Nothing or Everything. Which will it be for you? (Spoiler Alert! If you’ve never seen the movie 300, you might want to check it out first before listening in on this episode. Okay now let’s dive in!) A couple of nights ago, a couple of particular scenes from the movie 300 burst into my brain with ferocious intensity. I hadn’t seen the film in some time, (although now probably gonna watch it this weekend lol) but all of a sudden a message flooded my being. It has to do with what King Leonidas screams to his fellow men as the battle is about to begin. “GIVE THEM NOTHING! BUT TAKE…

Painting Your Life Canvas with Morgan Madden
Morgan Madden is throwing paint on the blank canvas of his life. And oh what a masterpiece he is seeking to create. I recently had the chance to meet and connect with Morgan at a recent entrepreneur event put on by Mark Hoverson. As I was hanging out enjoying a frosty beverage the first night, I noticed my great friend Brenda Gagne talking to this guy. (Along with his buddy Tim Spillane) It seemed that conversation was absolutely energized and there was a flow of connection and inspiration spiraling around him. So I just had to step up and introduce myself and said, “What the hell is going on over…

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…

Braveheart, Buddha and Success
Braveheart, Buddha and success. Does it take both types of personalities and perspectives in order to become a success in a complete and balanced way? This is the question that came up in my mind just yesterday as I was listening to The Tim Ferriss Show podcast. Tim was interviewing Sebastian Junger, author of The Perfect Storm among other thought provoking tales. In fact, before I go on here is the link to that interview. It is well worth the listen this weekend. http://fourhourworkweek.com/2016/05/22/sebastian-junger/ “Who would you die for? What ideas would you die for?” – Sebastian Junger As one point of the podcast, Sebastian Junger speak on how throughout history we…

A Day In Power
A Day In Power There are times we stand in power…..a day where our power is exposed to the world, yet we fail to recognize it due to drowning in our struggles. Several years ago after I moved back to Arizona after having almost taken my life, and coming back to a world to rebuild myself……there was a time where I failed to realize the moment. The moment was witnessed by my kids, uncle, and a cousin I had just met for the first time. The above pic is a reminder of this day, that until now, I realized that it was a day that I didn’t even recognize I had…

Let The Tiger Out Of It’s Cage!
Let the beast free folks! That’s the lesson I wanted to share with all of you today on this episode of Inspire the Fire Friday. This past week has been one helluva ride for me emotionally and spiritually. So what caused all of this perfect storm of personal development for me? Well it began with Eddie and I sitting down and recording our interview with Danny Page. And during that interview, I was broken down to my very core. If you have not listened to his episode yet, you can go to mindsetmtn.com/dannypage. I was busted up and broken down because I was allowed to heal myself in a whole…

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…
