“Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.” ― George Carlin It is sometimes hard for me to relate to other people’s situations because of the “unconventional” life I […]
There’s a word I recently learned and it’s called, “Animus.” Animus is Latin for spirit, mind, courage. When I think of Animus, I think of the ancient Romans, Spartans and Greeks. I think of these civilizations not just because the word is Latin, but because it was a time in human history when people extolled […]
“Your life is your story. Write well. Edit often.” ― Susan Statham I’m going to ask you to do something at the end of this piece. It’s going to be simple to do, cost you nothing other than a second of your time, and still most of you won’t do it. Each one of us carries […]
“If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it would not seem so wonderful at all.” ―Michelangelo I’ve learned a lot about people over the years as a small business owner. The number one thing that I have observed is this: Most people don’t have grit when it comes to […]

“There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness. We must have felt what it is to die, Morrel, that we may appreciate the enjoyments of life. ― Alexandre […]
“My friend…care for your psyche…know thyself, for once we know ourselves, we may learn how to care for ourselves” ― Socrates What does it mean to “know thyself”? I think it means self-awareness. To know yourself is to be self-aware: to know what you want from life, what your beliefs are while having the confidence in […]
“Make today worth remembering.” ―Zig Ziglar I wonder what the world would be like if every person lived by this quote. It doesn’t take much: a conversation, a good deed, a song, a smile, a kiss, a good movie or song or book. I believe that each of these small instances are worth remembering. We just have […]
I’ve seen thousands of eager people come through my doors over the years. Some get life-changing results, some do OK, and the rest fail miserably after spending a lot of time and money on the process. This book is for the latter two groups. I felt compelled to write this because I hate, hate, hate […]
