Worth is defined by Merriam-Webster to mean the value of something measured by its qualities or by the esteem in which it is held. Almost every time I drive to Newport Coast on the toll road, I see a Lamborghini. When that amazing car races past me I think to myself is that really worth […]
Much of life feels like firefighting. We run around pouring water on flames and stomping out embers from past fires to prevent future flare-ups. These fires typically consist of relational issues, bills, lack of employment, anxiety, family, and an overall feeling of being unsettled. The dragon in your life is happy to see you play […]
Today is the day! Today is the day you were made for! Go ahead, say it out loud… I was made for today! Recently, I spoke to a longtime friend who expressed a feeling of being lost and untethered. During the conversation, it dawned on me that disillusion is closely tied to need. The harsh […]
I’m not an expert in human behavior but my life experiences have shown me that those who own the good, bad, and ugly outcomes of their life tend to be happier.

I’m guilting of feeling blah and it usually shows up after a day or period of time that involves me giving of myself to others. Why is that? When […]
I don’t believe in positive mental attitude. I believe that having a positive attitude is simply about being humble and grateful. Have you ever met someone that was nearly impossible to encourage? These people are professional self-fulfilling prophets who intentionally let anybody who will listen know how unfair life has been for them. They typically […]
Stop and smell the roses. This phrase has been used to explain the importance of slowing down and even stopping to observe the beauty of life. Most often we race from destination to destination.
