Positive thinking books are bestsellers. But are we really buying something to help us discover something we already have? Here are my thoughts...

We unconsciously take risks every day. Let's step out in faith and take a meaningful risk.

Being open and unguarded is key to making deeper human connections. This scares some people, because intimacy means opening up to another. Fear of judgment or being ridiculed stops some from making this deeper connection. Be fearless. Connect...

We live life and, hopefully, we grow. Growth comes from acknowledging and owning up to our mistakes, not from the things we have done right. But there are people who refuse to see you as the new you. Those people want to keep you mired in your past. Those aren't your people.

A person with a vision, combined with a burning desire and conviction to see that vision turn into reality will succeed. Other people simply drift through life, accepting whatever comes their way...

People will project their own insecurities onto us, wanting to mold us into something they want us to be. But we have goals, dreams and desires of our own. A person who projects is not good for us. Keep them far, far away, and keep the honest encouragers near...

Texting is for quick check-ins, not real conversation. You learn this when you have a text message misinterpreted. There's no voice inflection or emotion in a text. If you want to really connect, call the person.

Stop waiting on things to align perfectly. Pursue your dream now.

We have unlimited potential. But are we allowing the wrong people to deter us, to set limits on us?

When you care about someone, shouldn't you show them every day? 

All of us have a past. Some are more painful than others, and we belabor our mistakes of the past over and over again.  Get out of that type of thinking. You don't live in the past anymore. Live now...

Henry David Thoreau wrote, "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation, and die with their song still in them." What dreams, plans and desires are you putting off? Why not take that first step out in faith and begin. Today. 

Our world needs leadership. Badly! To lead effectively, we must take ownership or our lives and live out our goals, dreams and desires. Don't hesitate. The time is now...

Trauma from the past or pain from the present don't go away magically on their own. We must do the work to heal if we want to live fully. Get to the heart of the problem.

Don't you want to be heard? What's stopping you? When you find your voice, remember those who have not found theirs, and speak up for them...

Praise is good. False praise sends the wrong message. Today, we look at both sides of that equation.

Do you want to build trust and have others respect you? Be consistent...

Forgiving the people who have caused us harm is hard, no doubt. I'm not trying to minimize the hurt and pain that has been inflicted by others. But finding a way to forgive is important, and today's message explains why...

When asked for advice, it's best to let the inquirer figure it out for themselves. 

Accepting other people where they are in life doesn't mean you approve of their behavior. Acceptance releases you from the burden of judgment. Set healthy boundaries for yourself, allowing the good people in while keeping the bad influences out. 

Have you ever stopped to consider how important your name is to you? It's part of our identity, and it helps to define who we are....

Most of us love to draw attention to ourselves. That's okay. But let's make certain we are giving others something to watch that will enrich their lives.
