Turning the stairs into an Read More...

Joy, oh I love talking about joy. I’ve done hundreds of interviews where I have the opportunity to talk about joy and I tell people all the time that I’m thrilled and proud to work with an organization that values joy. Joy is our second core value and we live it everyday.
Many people often struggle with what joy is. How does joy affect your everyday life and how can you make sure that are pursuing it? Joy is a word that’s taken for granted and often gets confused with happiness. So stop and think about it for second. What’s the difference between joy and happiness?
Well, I would argue that happiness Read More...
Approximately six weeks ago I found myself struggling to find the energy to do the smallest of tasks. I felt like I needed discipline to do everything. Things frustrated me. People were idiots. Situations were stressful. Time was always running short. Then, through the power of truth coming off a page, I was hit with a revelation: I have the ability to CHOOSE my life.

I decided I wanted happiness, Abundance, meaningful work, energy, GREAT relationships, a healthy body, and I decided that I wanted to be giving, energetic, LOVING life, Read More...

Event + Response = Outcome. It seems like a simple formula doesn’t it? I guess it is-however, the complexities of how this “simple” formula affects your life are significant!
You’ve probably heard it said, “life is 10% what your given and 90% what you make of it.” Maybe you don’t agree with the percentages-maybe I don’t either-but I think most of us agree that the outcomes that we receive are determined not only by the circumstances we find ourselves in but also by how Read More...

As a natural part of our evolution, we are faced with constant changes. In addition to our biology, the world around us is also changing offering a wealth of opportunities and choices.
Every morning when you wake up, you make a choice – you choose to grow or you choose to die. Now I am not suggesting that Read More...
“Why in the world would you want to do that?” “Why, did you do it?”
These are common questions that many people hear after they do something that to the outside world would appear to cause pain or suffering of some sort. Things like climbing a mountain, or hiking the Appalachian Trail, or competing in an IronMan triathalon, or adopting twins are just a few of the events that come to mind.
I know this because I have either asked these questions or heard them myself. Personally, I have climbed Mt. Elbrus in Russia, Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa and just completed my first IronMan this fall. And the answers can vary from person to person but I wanted to share with you my favorite answer. My Read More...
With the 4th of July just around the corner, and people across the United States celebrating freedom, I thought I would write about how to increase freedom in your life.
It’s obvious from the name of our organization, Freedom Personal Development, that freedom is important to us. Our definition of freedom is, “The capacity to exercise choice.” We all have choices and therefore freedom in our lives.
In fact freedom of choice is an unavoidable responsibility to be treated with much respect. It’s not an absence of responsibility with which to be careless.
A lot of time people think freedom is the freedom from responsibility. I’d argue that it is Read More...
