I, myself, choose to stand out and be unique whenever possible! It's not something that everyone is comfortable with. In fact, that's a good thing because, sometimes, we need to know when to join in.

I really had to pause and think about this one... I guess I didn't want to believe I could be a prisoner to my emotions. However, I think it's true, and...it's a good thing!

We all take a hit and lose faith in our skills every once in awhile. Our confidence gets shaken and we feel that dark cloud of doubt hovering over.

I was having a conversation with someone in a FB group about why they were posting certain topics. Their answer was that if they didn't, there wouldn't be any conversation.

I've been told I am "different" many times. I am proud of that. Different is not better or worse...it's just...well, different.

It's a tremendous feeling to have confidence in yourself as well as the knowledge that you will face down any challenge that is presented.

It may not seem like much, but what a difference it would make if we just paid a little more attention to the words we use to describe people when we speak to, or are speaking about, them...

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we feel there are no good ways to get out of. In fact, there may not be.

This is something I struggle with. I have high expectations for myself, others, and situations. It originates from my optimism, however, it is truly a double edged sword.

You know what this is? This is a reminder. This is what was left of my wife's car from an accident she was in many years ago.

We have a problem...We've been trying to solve it for quite awhile now and, unfortunately, it's on the rise again.

Change can be incredibly uncomfortable...painful even...

No matter how much good you think you're doing or how right you think you are, do not naively believe that you are correct in all situations.

The only way to conquer any adversity is to remain positive and optimistic...

"Sometimes, it's better to be lucky than good." - Yes, that's absolutely true! Sometimes things work out better than we could have possibly imagined or planned. However...

Be present.

Be in the here and now.

It only happens once...

Habits drive everything!

It is critical to make your habits positive and productive.

It's interesting how we always default to what a good thing friendship and loyalty are. Generally speaking, that is true. However, there is a dark side to them...

Love is not enough and too much...

"Life places enough obstacles in our way. No need to place any there ourselves."

What do I mean by this?

The quality of your life is determined by the choices you make.

So very true!

It's extremely unfortunate that those who like to flaunt an "I don't care what people think" attitude are all too often...

Everything comes down to perspective...

How healthy are you?

I don't mean just your physical health, I mean all the other aspects, as well.

The countdown begins...

For some, it's Thanksgiving week. That means the end of the year is near. Are you excited?

Steps!

Do not try to make the leap all at once. Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't.

It's not just about "giving it your all" when you are creating change, it's giving it your passion and devotion.

"In a world that takes so much, do what you can to give a little back." - Marquez Mosher

Pretty simple, yes?

Sometimes, it doesn't matter which direction you are going in as long as you are aware of it is going to benefit you in some way.

This is so true! It relates directly to the "LIVE More" part of my "Think More : Care More : LIVE More" philosophy.

So much going on! There's the election, the holidays, the new year, Covid, etc...it can be overwhelming.

I cannot believe what's happening! I'm shocked. I just don't know how I'm going to... At this point, things can go two ways. I think it might just be easier to explain with the video.

Failure...inevitable, right? It is, but it's what we take from it that makes all the difference!

Ah yes, that creeping feeling of anxiety...stress...yuck... You can do something about it...prepare!

Should we always welcome change? Can being wrong actually be right?

"Well-intentioned" is a great start, however, it is only a start...

So, is it yellow or gold? I guess that depends on your perspective...

There is so much packed into this quote!

Read on for my take. What's yours?

What do you think about this one?

There are going to be times when you feel stuck, in a rut, and you won't be sure how to overcome it...

There are going to be times when you feel stuck, in a rut, and you won't be sure how to overcome it...

So, here we are again...what's the update?

Do not confuse the social media world for the real world...

I...AM...PUMPED!
​Find out why...

We know our thoughts lead to words and our words lead to action.

"Conquer your fear of falling down and you will truly soar."

We are in a time where "they said" and "I've been told" is replacing the desire to think for ourselves.

Have you noticed the fine line between being a giver and being an enabler? It seems that the difference is actually determined by the receiver.

The recent murder of George Floyd has brought the Black Lives Matter movement and racism to the forefront of our consciousness. The event itself, and the protests that have followed, have made a deep impression across the world.

People are so upset that they can’t just post whatever they want on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. They’ve either been “censored” themselves or have come across someone affected by the “cancel culture” that’s infiltrated the social media landscape and society, at large.

Self-awareness, honesty, and clear communication are keys to any relationship. Without these elements, relationships are doomed to failure. The only question is how quickly or completely they will fail when any of these components are missing.

So, here we are again...what's the update?
