I realize I'm asking you to read a full length article on the last day of the year, but if you want things to change. I mean really change, then please take the time to read this.
I want to be very honest and up front from the start. Words themselves do not create anything. Words that cause us to take action do. I'll get to the most powerful word shortly. ...

Regardless of where you are at this exact moment in time, the possibility exists just around the corner of having the time of your life. We all face challenge. We all face adversity.

The stories of beating back the challenges handed down throughout history are the shoulders you and I and the next generation will stand on to reach higher. Never downplay the power of a story and the inspiration it can impart on another who may be close to calling it quits. Stopping, as I have shared with thousands over the years is what steals away all ...

Today's perspective is not about work. It's about reflection. As the year draws to a close we can look back on the past year and ponder the road ahead. So much of everything we do throughout life comes down in the final analysis to what we did. The difference we made. The impact we left. The footprints our time here left behind.

You have choice. I have choice. We were all born with choice but somewhere along the path of life it would appear that we begin to lose it. Having choice is the ability to make decisions.

We are without question a "Show me" species. In pursuit of nearly every goal and every challenge we want to see that the mountain has been conquered and the trail clearly blazed. Mount Everest is a great example of that. Give or take a few days this pile of rock has existed for about 60 million years. Man never set foot on the summit however until May 29,1953. Sir ...

There are so many great quotes that put into perspective the yin and yang of life. "You get what you pay for. Nothing is for free. Aspiration without perspiration is a recipe for delusion", and on they go. These are not just simple quotes but absolutes of life. It takes effort to move anything. Create anything. Change anything.

I get asked all the time what the most important element of personal and professional growth is. Hands down, every time its belief. Just consider this. "How do things turn out in life that you "believe" you are good at"? Most times pretty well. Now consider this, "How to things turn out that you don't believe you are good at"? Most times not very well at all. The ...
