We have all read about people who are successful briefly. They win a gold medal, make a fortune, or star in one great movie…and then disappear. Or, there are those like Marilyn Monroe and Howard Hughes who achieve extraordinary success, at the cost of their own lives. These examples do not inspire me!
My focus and fascination is with people who seem to do well in many areas of life, and do it over and over through a lifetime. In entertainment, I think of Paul Newman and Bill Cosby. In business, I think of Ben and Jerry (the ice cream moguls), and a local hardware store owner who is famous for the money he’s give to children’s charities. As a Naval Officer, husband, businessman, politician and now as a mediator and philanthropist on Read More...

In this video, Tony Robbins explains, if you are struggling to hit a goal, it is because you have an inner conflict. Resolving these, will unlock what is holding you back.
For example, you want to have a net worth of $1,000,000, but inside you feel that being wealthy isn’t spiritual.
So how do you resolve a conflict?
1. Take Risks
Do not be afraid to take risks…where is the fun in that? If you want something, go for it! Do not try and justify every action you make. Sometimes, all you have to do is to take that big leap! We usually allow ourselves to settle at what is safe and secure and yet we end up wondering at all the “what ifs?” and “what could have been?” in life.
If you take a risk and fail, move on!! The best way to learn anything is to fail at first.
We recently posted an article with some great stories on how people overcame failure. We recommend you read the article, Read More...
Here is an interesting fact for you: An airplane is constantly a few degrees off course. Think about that. Before a plane takes off, it will have a flight plan drawn out. Then while it is in the air, the plane will be off course most of the way. How then, can it arrive at the correct city at the correct time?
The similarities between an airplane’s flight path and life are quite striking. Think about goal setting. In the past, you may have set a goal, started working on it, and the whole time you were off course. Yet, like the plane, you still reached your destination, your goal, on time. How can this be?
It can be that way because a plane has something called automatic Read More...

You have heard the cliché, “Rome was not built in a day” many times and you have been told countless times that, “Patience is a virtue.” My question to you is, Can we afford patience in today’s world? Don’t we have to keep up? Technology is changing exponentially, it doubles every 18 month. Do we have time to be patient?
In my humble opinion, we cannot afford not to learn more patience. Think about all the things in this world that show greatness, things that are awe inspiring and think about the patience required to create them.
Look at the nature. It takes a sequoia tree hundreds of Read More...
