Unless you find your unique & divine balance, you’re going to compare yourself to others, live your life like others, or feel inappropriately special or condemned. Finding your unique place will not affect your today and probably not your next year. But try 10 years. You could become YOUR ideal self, but not the person […]
Today this just hit me. I can use my weaknesses as a trigger to engage my goals. Thus reversing my nature. For example, one of my goals for the year is to write 150 personal/motivational/scriptural posts to this blog. The problem is, I have the habit of always reading and consuming content instead of producing […]
Most people that I know who “hustle” or even use the word in their vernacular do it for one of two reasons: 1) Their day job doesn’t pay as much as they’d like so they need to hustle/gig/freelance every chance they get for more money. Or 2) Their day job/life isn’t satisfying so they hustle […]
Regular reading and study of the Bible is like a balanced diet. Both are essential to life. Praying in the spirit is like weight training. Both build strength and stamina. You can’t live without eating. But you can live well if you don’t workout. And because of that, many people only focus on diet and […]
Most of us under communicate. In many of our valuable UNNATURAL relationships ( the ones that are NOT in our weekly lives; i.e. home, work, school, church, etc ) these relationships are likely malnurished.

“Its Time To Get Over The Hump” This is my word to you for 2010. (Perhaps I’m just projecting on you what I believe the year is for me… Well so be it! If the shoe fits, then don’t trip!) I can’t say I’ve had many humps in my past or mountains that I’ve become […]
I have a grandfather. Like most grandparents there is a trait that most stands out similar to others in their old age. He speaks his mind! Completely, unemotionally and without bias. He will tell you about yourself; at least according to his not-so-humble opinion. But there is a second trait that the elderly have which […]
Back when I was a bodybuilder… well…. maybe not a real bodybuilder, but years ago when I was an intern spending my free time lifting weights, I discovered a set of principles to overcome plateaus. Today I call it the CIM Principle: Consistency Intensity, and Method. First, unless you are consistent nothing else matters. If you are not […]
