If you’ve ever wondered why you suffer in a crisis, you don’t have to look too far for the answer. Breaking down the word Crisis, CR – IS – IS, you will find two “ISes.” That’s right. I said “ISes.”
The “First IS” represents “your current reality.”
The “Second IS” represents “the reality you wish it were [...]

Go for the Gold – “Love Yourself”
One of the most remarkable characteristics of gold is its ability to be forged into almost anything without breaking. Applying this same principle to The Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would want done unto you,” I created a few new rules from the same vein.
The first two, and my favorite, are The Golden [...]

On a recent trip back to Ohio, while visiting my sister Pat and her family, Eli, the youngest of her three boys ran up to me and asked if I would go fish’n with him. Looking [...]

Awaken Your Inspiration!
Within all of us lies something quite magical, loving and uniquely our own, we need merely to awaken it!
About five years ago, I picked up a magazine featuring a series of articles on some of the world’s most creative minds. Just as I was finishing the last article, it occurred to me. All [...]

Run Barefoot on the Grass!
If I were to ask you to finish the statement, “The grass is always greener,” you would mostly likely answer “on the other side of the fence.” Am I right?
Now, how did I know that? Could it be that I, like you, have accepted this seemingly harmless idiom as true, made it [...]

The Next Big Thing in Communication!
Your ability to effectively communicate is paramount, hence the birth of bottom lining, the ability to express yourself succinctly.
While much has been written on bottom lining, little has been written about the ability to express what you have heard succinctly.
I call this ability, Headlining. Much like an editor that reads an article to determine [...]

Once Upon a Present Moment
Once upon a present moment, an old queen looked into her mirror and asked, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, whose the fairest of them all?”
The mirror answered back, “I am the fairest, reflecting only what I see.”
Enraged by the mirror’s answer she exclaimed, “That’s not what I meant. Who is [...]

Awaken Your Very Essence from the Outside In
On a recent trip to the theater, I had the pleasure to see a production called The Rat Pack. The show transported me back in time to a night at the Sands Hotel in Vegas with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. at their very best.
Watching the confidence of Frank, the charm [...]

Wake Up and Smell the Coffee
I was having a wonderful conversation with a colleague over coffee about coffee, something we both dearly love and attempt to give up from time to time, when she shared with me something quite profound. With sincerity and joy, she looked me in the eye and said, “I’ve spent the last thirty years of my [...]

The Secret and Powerful Gift within the Insult or Critique
Recently, an artistic colleague of mine did something quite remarkable and courageous. He had an idea, developed a plan, executed it faithfully and invited the critics. I call this remarkable because rarely do our ideas get past the idea stage, and courageous, because he invited the critics.
I salute him for that. [...]

What You Focus on Expands – PART 1
Expansion Theory via Travel Log
5:30 a.m. My cell phone alarm goes off. Despite the early hour, I awake feeling well rested. (I’ve just spent the last two days living on the south rim of the Grand Canyon with my better-half Kristy and now we’re off to Sedona.)
5:45 a.m. I begin packing up the car [...]

Let Go to Grow
On one of the few days it rained in LA, I decided to take the Number 2 bus to meet a friend. By the time the bus came, I was completely soaked. The newspaper over my head and the palm tree above were no match for mother nature.
As I stepped into the [...]

The call at 2 in the morning from a friend in need, the news of the death of a close relative, your child’s first fever, your stocks plummeting, the car accident you narrowly escape from, 9-11.

Celebrate Your Life in Every Moment!
“It was my birthday last week and I haven’t stopped celebrating.” – gruberism
I remember the first time someone asked me the question “How many birthdays does the average man have?” Not knowing it was a riddle, I thought long and hard and guessed 76. I was wrong, of course, because the average [...]

Create a Compelling Future!
There are numerous studies that show that goal setting works, but few people actually set goals. Why is this? One response, or excuse, I often get from my clients is that they don’t know where to start.
Today I would like to turn goal setting on its head and start at its very end.

I’d rather “be here” than “right”!
I believe that the majority of us spend a great deal of our time and energy on convincing others that we are right. While this may sound like a wonderful thing, but our “need” to be right, is nothing more than a testament of who we were not who we are.
Who we are is [...]

“Ask, and you shall receive, seek and you shall find,
knock and the door shall be opened unto you.” – Jesus
What a powerful way to live life! Ask, seek and knock and know you shall [...]
