Episodes

Stir each other up to love and good works 11.07.2023

We recognize acts of love and the good works that result and celebrate them, herald them, and seek our own way to demonstrate our individual works of love.

Let your pride shine through in whatever you do 03.07.2023

Each of us produces a piece of the whole effort, and the quality of our contribution matters to the quality of the whole.

You get things done by getting things done 27.06.2023

It begins with the thought followed by action that causes other actions and before you know it, you are getting something done by getting something done.

We all want progress-just at different speeds. 19.06.2023

Learning is multi-faceted. Often the issue is not our direction, but our speed and how much risk we are willing to take at any one time.

Personal Accountability is the True Friend of Freedom 13.06.2023

The accountability that is set by someone else feels like coercion. But accountability to ourselves feels like the freedom we relish.

Simplify to clarify 05.06.2023

simplifying our lives make the clutter more obvious and easier to discard without remorse.

Share your soul 29.05.2023

We all should respect people for the content of their character. Yet, we are more likely to connect with those whose soulful essence resonates with ours.

Find the harmony in change 23.05.2023

We learn to live in harmony with the changes, especially if they bring value to our quality of life. The dis-harmony comes when we decide we do not want to change with the times.

Get better acquainted with yourself 15.05.2023

There is something going on inside our fleshly boundary that projects itself outward in all directions. Our energy ripples from our center. There is something that makes us tick. But what? And why?

Learn the difference between belief and truth 12.05.2023

Factual truth that can be proved by evidence does not depend on whether one chooses to believe it. While belief, no matter how sincere, is entirely within the will of an individual to accept it.

Let growing older grow in you 02.05.2023

Everyone wants to live forever without looking or acting like they are aging. There are aspects of growing older that are universal and inescapable.

Pros are in demand. You can be one. 24.04.2023

You don’t become a pro overnight. Being naturally talented might give you a head start, but it isn’t enough by itself.

Courage is the faith you did not know you had until you needed it 10.04.2023

Courage is intentional. Knowing to do the right thing and acting righteously, understanding the personal consequences, but taking the action to make things better in the face of risk.

Be a mystery instead of an open book 03.04.2023

I might have made a good first impression, but the second, and the third, and the fourth impressions got progressively worse the longer I talked.

Doing one thing means not doing anything else at the same time 27.03.2023

A priority is what I must do now, no matter how inconsequential it seems, in a series of linked tasks so I can do the next thing.

Lead the WHAT and the WHO will follow 20.03.2023

Buying in to the message leads to inspiration, enrollment, and engagement. Leaders walk their talk, or no one follows.

Great ideas come from many ideas 13.03.2023

Creatives will tell you that their standout achievements are surrounded by the hundreds or thousands of preliminary ideas and attempts they had to go through.

Grievance is not a vision 06.03.2023

Dwelling on grievance does not solve the problem. It only points it out. Because, not getting what you DO NOT WANT will never guarantee that you will get what you do want.

A master is a student first 27.02.2023

The master is forever a student. New knowledge provokes new questions. Curious discovery—the hunger and thirst to know more deeply and intuitively.

You cannot be self-actualized by following the crowd 22.02.2023

There is something inside us that compels us to strive to reach our highest potential. That appetite is fed by the notion that we can be better, or more, than we are now.

Cultivate companionship 14.02.2023

Companionship suggests an active and continual relationship. Companions are close by physically and emotionally, which means they likely share a common purpose or destination.

Boldly go 07.02.2023

Boldly go because each moment is a new destination, and each destination reveals a new horizon.

Learn to rub people the right way 30.01.2023

Let’s admit that we have our own prickly glitches that annoy others. We want to be the person others can’t get enough of instead of the one they’ve long ago had too much of.

Be a visionary, not just a dreamer 23.01.2023

A dream might be noble, but it will languish if it is never shared or expressed in ways that others can latch on to the idea and join the cause.

Develop a blindspot alert 17.01.2023

We rely on our five empirical senses to find our way around in the world. We have invented work arounds to correct impairments, but only to a point. We must become alert to our gaps in noticing information we have missed.
