  • Can’t Buy Me Love

    There are so many things that we have a limited supply of. Our natural resources are not infinite. Clean water is tough to come by in some areas. There’s not enough food in many countries. There are two things in particular that we here in the U.S. always complain about. We never seem to have…

  • You Are What You Eat

    We’ve all heard the saying “you are what you eat” before. There’s a lot of truth to this statement. In general, healthy eating habits lead to a healthy body and unhealthy eating habits lead to an unhealthy body. Did you know the same is true for your mind though? Your mind becomes what you feed…

  • To Thine Own Self Be True

    How well do you know yourself? This is an honest question. I’m really not trying to be facetious. I’m coming to realize that this is a key component of success in life. Far too many people have not taken a serious look at who they are and what they believe. They just move with the…

  • My Kind of People

    I just got back from a three day seminar on how to build a speaking business. It covered everything from discovering your own personal passions to creating products to augment your topics. The best part of the whole event though was the people. Ever since I started down this path of self-employment, I’ve discovered that…

  • I’m Right and You’re Wrong

    Have you ever gotten the impression that some people think that the world revolves around them? Or perhaps they think that their opinion is the only one that counts? The other week I had an interesting occurrence. I run the sound system some weeks at our church. During communion time, we often play some music from…

  • Not So Easily Bruised

    There are so many times in my life where I have worried about something I have said or done that involves a family member or a friend. Maybe I’ve said something and I’m not sure how they took it. Maybe there was something I did and I’m not sure if it upset them. I worry…

  • Two Simple Words

    Two small words. Yet so much power. How often do you use them? Have you sincerely told someone “thank you” recently? How about to someone who really was just doing their job but deserves a little appreciation anyway? Try it. I’ll bet you’ll be pleased with the results. Just think how that person is going…

  • What’s the Big Deal?

    Have you heard about the recent Detroit Tiger’s game controversy? The umpire, Jim Joyce, blew the call on the last play of the game costing a rookie pitcher for the Tigers, Armando Galarraga, a perfect game. Jim Joyce called the runner safe on first when he clearly did not beat the ball to the bag.…

  • Why Failure Can Be a Positive

    We don’t often think of sharing our failures or our weaknesses do we? Why would we want to let others know we aren’t perfect? Even superheroes have weaknesses though. Superman couldn’t stand kryptonite. Green Lantern had no power against yellow. Daredevil was overwhelmed by loud noise. There are several reasons to actually share our failures…

  • What Are You Investing In?

    I’m going to cheat a little on this post. I’m going to use it for both of my blogs. Honestly, it applies to both.  In case you haven’t checked out my other links before, I have a Personal Finance blog and a Personal Growth blog. This post covers both topics. Right now my wife and I are…
