How do you describe life? What word picture comes to mind when you think of your life? The words you use have meaning and that meaning defines how you perceive things to be. Here are some examples. Maybe you can relate to one of them. None of them are right or wrong but it's good [...]
If there's one question that we have no problem asking of others but shy away from like the plague when it comes to asking ourselves, it's this. Why? From the time we were young children we've wanted to know why from from everyone else, haven't we? Just spend some time around a 3 - [...]
I like to read. One of my goals for this next year is to make more time for reading. Even though I didn't feel like I took enough time for reading this last year, in looking back, I read quite a few books. I love the quote from Mark Twain that goes: Those who don't [...]

How many of you have ever been mountain biking? Great! You understand what I'm saying about focus. When you're going down the trail you can't focus on every rock, tree stump or turn, can you? If you do, what happens? If you are watching every bump and log that's in front of you you're more [...]
What I want to discuss in the next several minutes is how our mindset affects everything we do and how, by changing our mindset with a few shifts in thinking, we can have more success, better relationships and better finances.
