Failure is a loser’s attribute, right? Not even close. Failure is the most important attribute of success. Think of Thomas Edison, he is recorded to have gone through 9,999 iterations of the light bulb before he got it right. Think of Abraham Lincoln, he ran for multiple offices and lost every single one until he…

Give yourself a break for once and just relax. Oh, you don’t have time? It’s probably because you, like most people, have over-complicated your life. Did you know you can undo that and make things simple, like they used to be when you were a kid. This sounds impossible or fluff to make you ‘feel’…

How many times have you wanted to start something but just didn’t get around to it? How many times have you began a project but didn’t quite finish it? I know that has been the case in my life on more than one occasion. But why does that happen when we seem to really want…

Life is replete with challenges, problems, difficulties, issues. Life also has blessings, miracles, good-times, and enjoyment. We can go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in the blink of an eye. We can go from the lowest of lows to the highest of highs as well. There are things that happen to…

Is there a secret to stay motivated? Is there a secret to stay positive? Is there a secret to be happy? Each of these questions has the same answer… Yes. It’s not what you’d expect to hear nor necessarily want to hear but it’s the truth. Not everyone has the “gift” of happiness, the “gift”…

Life should be easier, shouldn’t it? The answer is up to you. I’ll tell you what I think, I think life is as easy as I decide it to be. My life is my life. I’m still young but I will say I’ve lived a long time. I have learned a lot thus far. I have…
