Who’s In Your Boat?
When someone else’s decision turns your life upside down, can you proceed with a calmness about you? When someone else’s mistake puts you in a difficult situation, do you gracefully handle the situation? When you feel like you’re losing everything, are you able to optimistically believe that good will result from the bad? If you’veContinueContinue reading “Who’s In Your Boat?”
Envy vs. Gratitude
We’re always comparing. There are daily battles in our minds over stuff we want versus stuff we have. Things that others possess, but we don’t. The greater success someone else has that should be ours. On one side is envy. The other gratitude. What wins your battles? You’re in control. What determines the outcomes isContinueContinue reading “Envy vs. Gratitude”
Our Job in Life
One of my favorite quotes from Mister Rogers is: As human beings, our job in life is to help people realize how rare and valuable each one of us really is, that each of us has something that no one else has – or ever will have – something inside that is unique to allContinueContinue reading “Our Job in Life”
You Have Kept a Record of My Tears
If you want to be free to live the life you were meant to live, the meaningful life you were created to fulfill, then you have to learn to relinquish the right to get even.

The Comparison Weed
The day I stopped caring to compare myself to others is a day I do not distinctly remember. However, I do remember wanting to stop because all comparing did was make me feel unhappy. That unhappiness either triggered depression or workaholism to earn more money to buy more stuff. Neither state was healthy for myContinueContinue reading “The Comparison Weed”
The Ultimate Compliment
My daughter is playing in a volleyball tournament this weekend. A mom of a teammate signaled to me to approach them. It seemed like they wanted to tell me something. When I got within earshot, she said, “You guys (my wife and I) have done a wonderful job with Jarah. The way she speaks toContinueContinue reading “The Ultimate Compliment”
