I'm not sure exactly when it was, but I think I was about 18 at the time. I was driving with a girlfriend along the service road of the QEW near St. Catharine's when we passed a very bad accident. I stopped the car, jumped the fence and approached the scene. Several cars were involved. A number of people were injured and lying on the grass medium. ...

This statement reminded me of a person that had such a profound affect on me a long time ago. This person, then not much more than a teen was on television telling about his life experience. I think it resonated at the time because we were about the same age. Both of our mother's took a drug that was meant to control morning sickness. That is where the similarities ended. I ...

What you do matters. Trying to put our lives into perspective is tricky business. I think one of the aspects of how we view ourselves is that we see our lives as just our lives. There is so much more to it than just that. Truth is we all live in a village. We are in effect the village and what we do and what ...

I work in the field of discovery and adventure. At least that's how I hope it goes with everyone I have the great fortune to work with. The adventure part is striking out to do what is necessary to breathe life into the dreams that became apparent during the discovery phase. That's the part I think most people truly struggle with. "What do I really want to ...

What's behind me is not important. That was a great line from a comedy I saw many years ago. The line was delivered by this gregarious man driving a convertible sports car at break neck speeds around hairpin turns down a mountain road while being chased by the bad guys. Without warning he reached up, tore off the rear-view mirror and tossed it over the cliff. At that ...

We all need friends. We all need people in our lives to talk to. To reflect with. To share ideas with, to laugh and love and experience great moments and challenges with. We are also all disappointed and deceived on a regular basis by the one closest to us. They deceive you, lie to you, beat you down, steal away your dreams and still you keep going back asking ...

We often lament the prospect that there are just not enough hours in the day. Too many tasks and too few hours. Much like the adage that we have, "Too much week left at the end of the money". Sadly, one of the first tasks to get tossed off of the priority list when pressed for time are those activities that actually allow us to grow as ...

It all matters. Gaining perspective as to where we are and what is going on in our lives often comes from reflection and gratitude. Rarely in life does it become apparent in the moment why a certain event has transpired in our lives. The truth is that the sums of our life experiences are responsible for creating who we are, where we are and what is possible tomorrow.

Know why you want it. Money that is. When you really stop and think about it, in a society so driven by capitalism and the acquisition of money, it's strange that so little attention is paid to defining the why. You may hear others or say yourself, "I want to make this much money" without really knowing why. Simply "having" the money does not create a sufficient connection. In seminars ...

"How can I improve my situation? How can I achieve all the things I want in life? How can I get from here to there"? Great questions and no doubt questions you hear yourself say often. Often times the greatest tools at our disposal go unnoticed and underutilized. We keep searching, reaching, looking and hoping that the answers will come to us from "out there". The truth is that the ...
