Throughout my life it feels as though I have constantly faced an uphill battle to hold on to those that pass my way. My father up and left when I was just six years old and my ‘step’ dad barely lasted 10 years after that.
The friends that I grew up with have all left town and every girl that I have ever dated is now long gone…

It might seem strange and somewhat contradictory that someone, who for well over three decades, has professionally trained and consulted to over a thousand individuals in positions of leadership, as well as conducted hundreds of self improvement and motivational training programs, strongly believes that all enthusiasm is not created equal…

We gather up the best tools and tricks and knowledge the world has to offer. We bookmark them and even take notes.

Simply being with person you get along with can make you feel happier and provide you with some health benefits, but there is a lot of evidence that indicates that getting married can actually give you a longer life. In fact, men increase their mortality rate by 250 percent when they get married.
Therefore, it is a good idea to strongly consider a visit to jewelry stores, like those in the Los Angeles jewelry district, for that engagement ring once you are certain that you have found someone who you would like to spend the rest of your life with…

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.” ~Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Patience is something that’s not talked about often when it comes to growth and productivity—or even peace of mind. When we think of habits and improvement, we think of getting things done, perseverance, focus, or pursing passions…

“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”
Albert Einstein
