Impress Yourself!

I am constantly taken aback by the power people have within them that they never even knew they had. Strong people, shy people, carefree people, scared people. When the time comes for them to make a decision on whether they are going to stand up and stand on their own two feet and battle through whatever hard times or sufferings are coming as opposed to cowering in the corner weak and afraid of what possible barriers they will face along the way, I am always amazed. But I’m not amazed at what you think I am amazed at. The fact that a person has that type of power within them...

Do or Do Not, There is No Try

When Master Yoda was training Luke in Star Wars, Yoda told Luke that there was no “try”, you either do something or you don’t. Now, after you’ve stopped laughing that I have decided to use a quote from a fictional green Jedi Master to drive home a point, think about what Yoda is really saying here. He is telling Luke that it isn’t a matter of can or can’t, it’s a matter of will or won’t. You will either accomplish what you want because its genuinely something you really want, or you won’t. It is a decision that is made before you ever...

The Magic Pill

For most of my teenage and young-adult life I was perpetually looking for a magic pill. A magic answer for many of life’s difficult questions. How do I find a job? How do I become a better salesperson? Where should I live? How can I make more money? How can I become more healthy? All of these questions had answers, but none of them were magic.
