Keep your eyes on your ‘WHY’
Humans are fascinating, which is probably why I have invested so much time in trying to figure them out. You see, I believe that we are all born with unlimited potential. We can be anything we want to be. The sky is the limit; no, there is no limit. A simple question follows – then…

How to get your butt in gear (and in the gym!)
When I tell people I go to the gym 4+ days a week, the response I usually get is something along the lines of “I don’t know how you do it!”. Honestly, sometimes, neither do I. I’ve got to admit, I’ve been struggling lately… with those late night workouts! Just so you know, late night…

Manifesting and The Power of Positive Thinking
I’m dropping everything right now to share a story with you guys, one that had been long tucked away in my memories, which came bubbling to the surface today. By a show of hands (I kid), how many of you have read or watched “The Secret”? The first time I watched it was about 8…

Things Leaders Do
I have acknowledged many leaders in my 27 years on this planet. Professors, bosses, mentors – for better or worse I marched along to the beat of their drum. Some were good, some were awful (we’ve all been there). But I’m not here to complain about the literal ‘man’ in charge. This post is about…

Why you need to pursue your goals for YOU
Beginning any new challenge in life is so exciting. Motivation is at its peak, the fire inside you is burning. The people around you are your cheerleaders, they support and encourage you. Heck! Some might even join you on whatever it is you are venturing into. Excitement is brimming! But, as time goes on, motivation…

Moving Forward (onward and upward)
I’ve made my share of mistakes in life. I’ve said the wrong thing, done the wrong thing. I’ve acted selfishly. I’ve had one too many drinks before and thanked the lord I woke up safely in my home. I’ve blown up in anger, I’ve missed opportunities, I have been stubborn once or twice in my…

Hitting Rock Bottom
Bad days come and go, difficult things happen in our lives, but we work through them. Hitting rock bottom is entirely different. I can pinpoint events in my life that served as catalysts for change. In reflecting on those times, I notice that it was not the great and wonderful events in life that changed me,…
