It was the summer of 1995 when I won the world championship weight-lifting challenge. Granted, I was in a middle-range weight class, but I did it none-the-less. And can you guess the best part of the whole thing? I didn’t work out a single day of my life prior to the competition. Yup, not even […]
What Do You Want Out of Change?
Have you ever been to a science or fine arts museum? There are displays and things to look at around every corner. Some really strike a chord with you and some just bounce off. No biggie, right? You wouldn’t expect everything in there to tickle your fancy. But you would consider it a good day […]
Want to Know Why Personal Change is Simple?

Something scary enough to stop professional writers dead in their tracks deserves some attention. Something they might be able […]

Looking Back, Missed Opportunities Will Be Your Biggest Regrets
Knowing what I know now, I could have done so much more when I was younger. It’s a shame, that almost limitless energy and passion I didn’t use when I was in college. That time I spent playing games late at night when I could have played toward my goals. Or those even earlier years […]
Security is a Myth — Multiply the World
You’re on a deserted island. No ship, no city, no person in sight. As far as you can tell, you are the only person on the island and it’s been that way for a long time. You woke up on this island with no physical possession except for the clothes on your body. You have […]
You are Responsible for Getting Your Life Under Control
Life Gives You the License, You Have to Earn the Right You just turned sixteen. Dad’s car is shinier than it’s ever been. You’re ready to rip into the pavement for one heck of an adventure. You’ve been able to drive for a while now – Dad’s given you lessons since you were nine. You […]
