When we declare who we are, what we believe, and what we stand for, we not only let others know where we stand, it serves as a reminder to ourselves as well.

While it's the end result we want most for any goal we're out to achieve, it's the hope we feel along the way that keeps us going and brings us the most happinesses.

The ultimate failure we can experience is success without fulfillment so let's make it a point to be mindful when choosing between economic potential and personal fulfillment.

Reflecting back on tough times we've gotten through serves as a great reminder that we're strong, ready, and willing to get through whatever challenges come our way.

Life indeed does begin at the end of our comfort zones although getting there requires that we're patient with ourselves along the way.

Regardless of how we started the first half of this year, it's not how we start that counts but how we finish so let's check-in on how we're doing so far.

Time is our most valuable asset, we all get the same amount of it and how we decide to spend it is what determines it's value.

While change can be scary in any area of our lives, it's the only thing that's constant, that we know will happen, so it's a must we embrace it.

A recent statement I heard while on a run had a profound effect on me and got me asking myself some serious questions about my life, all I'm doing and working towards.

Average effort will continue to get us average results and so if it's awesome results we're after, it's a must we give awesome effort.

Being disciplined to do the things we must to do in order to have the things we've decided we must have happens naturally, more easily when our focus is on the dream (vision), not the discipline to make it happen.

We don't need a title or power by association to take action towards creating the lives we dream about and want for ourselves.

Our phones connect us, provide us with info, and offer us a sense of security at times however if we aren't mindful, they also distract us from everything going on around us called life.

What have you been told you're too old, too young, too small, too big, too inexperienced, too whatever, to do? Do it anyways.

Through all life's ups and downs, it's gratitude that gets us through it all and has us coming out better, stronger on the other side.

Are we OK with just being OK with the lives we're living or do we want more than just OK when it comes to our goals, dreams, and aspirations?

With so many different ideas and strategies on what to do to achieve happiness, how do we know what to believe, what to listen to, and most importantly, what actually works?

If order to attract love, whether it's loving us, our ideas, products, services, whatever it may be, we must love ourselves first which begins when we forgive ourselves.

People judge each other, that's life, and I'm not asking that you and I change that, I'm just asking that we change how we judge others.

Life can get wild, chaotic, and complicated at times when our plates are too full so lightening the load becomes a must in order for us to keep moving forward.

Failing is part of the process of achieving success, so is being told no along the way since every no we get brings us one step closer to a yes.

When it comes to our dreams, our goals, and aspirations, we miss 100% of the shots we never take so let's take our shot at creating all it is we want for ourselves.

If you and I are to achieve our dreams, it is a must we take action knowing that resistance to take action will always be there.

I'm grateful for all of the valuable life lessons my dad taught me over the years (especially these 10) before losing him to cancer at the age of 57... Happy Fathers Day dad.
