As my team would tell you, I love the element of surprise. As a business guy, I take a lot of risks. Most are calculated risks, but there are some that are more along the lines of what Sir Richard Branson would say, “Screw it, let’s do it!” But even with the latter, there is [...]

Where we live, windsurfing and kitesurfing seem to be popular sports. Although these two sports take skill and practice, the driving force behind the whole concept of these sports is the wind. Without it these guys and gals go nowhere. They stay where they are, stagnant, bored, no action. It’s the same with our lives. [...]

We view the process of pressure as a disturbance, a hindrance, a nuisance, and something we don’t want or like, especially when we’re under constant pressure like with finances, or some mess we are facing. However, I submit to you that pressure can also create good things that could not have been created without the [...]

Life doesn’t happen to us. Life responds to us.  It responds to choices we’ve made (good or bad). It responds to words we’ve spoken. It responds to actions we’ve taken. What we expect, we usually say. What we say usually comes to pass. It’s the Law of Confession. There’s power in our words. Start expecting [...]

No matter what you went through in twentytwelve, no matter what happened to you in twentytwelve, you survived it. We’re not failures until we give up and stop trying. If you have no other testimony, you have this one to tell –> “I’M. STILL. HERE.” Yes you are. I find setbacks are my inspirational stories [...]

Happy TwentyThirteen. It’s going to be a big year for you. Be on the look out for miracles and opportunities, big and small. If you don’t look for them, you won’t find them. In the comic strip Shoe, Shoe is pitching in a baseball game. Shoe and his catcher are talking on the mound before [...]

So…the world didn’t end, huh? We get to do it all over again in a brand new year. No matter how twenty twelve turned out, you ‘aint seen nothin’ yet! I am believing that twenty thirteen will be an epic season of miracles and breakthroughs for you and your family. You’ve come this far, why [...]

If we can just stop complaining about the things we can’t change…that will change everything. If we can just change the things we can change…that will change everything. You decide —> What can you change today? What can’t you change today? What can you change in the new year? What can’t you change in the [...]

A man went to see a fortune teller to hear what she had to say about his future. She looked into her crystal ball and said, “You will be poor and unhappy until you are 45 years old.” Puzzled but hopeful, the man asked, “Then what will happen?” “….Then you will get used it.” This [...]

“What’s the worse that can happen?” When facing a situation, a challenge, a problem, we think that that’s a positive-minded stance. I don’t think it is. Try this one in it’s place: “What’s the best thing can happen?” Now that stance gives you a totally different perspective and expectation, right? Works all the time.   [...]
