The Determined People Podcast

Keep a journal. It will remind you of the many high points in your life. And it will serve as a reminder of what you overcame to get where you are...

Every day we encounter an untold number of people. Let's do our best to leave them better than we found them.

Life feels like a race to the finish line sometimes. Our only competition is ourselves, though. We are running our own race. Are we running as hard as we can?

Being the busiest person around doesn't always mean you are the most successful person. If wealth-building and acquiring stuff is what drives you, then maybe you are reaching a modicum of success. But I encourage you...don't forget about what matters most: people.

Living life does not mean we are spectators. No. We are participants. We will get as much out of life as we put into it. The choice is ours and ours alone.

In the United States, we have the right to vote for whomever we wish. However, we have allowed our voting to separate us...to divide us. Personally, I do not care who you cast your vote for. I care about something else which is the subject for today.

There are times we should get angry. Today we discuss some of those times...

We can overcome evil by showing kindness and compassion to each other. One thing is for certain: you cannot legislate evil out of the hearts of men...

You have a voice. What kind of message are you speaking?

In today's "look at me" culture, shift your focus outward towards other people. Be different...

Envision the life you want. You have to see it in your mind, then believe it in your heart that you can accomplish your vision. Once that happens, nothing will stop you...

There are a few more certainties other than death and taxes. Pain and struggle are just a couple. Since the beginning, The Determined People Podcast has been about sharing encouragement, strength and hope to a world in desperate need of it. 

Are you committed to giving your life 100% of yourself? This includes every area of our lives: our careers, our families and friends, our faith life and our recreation. If you aren't giving it your all, it might be time to reconsider some things...

When your child is diagnosed with an incurable rare genetic disorder, you get into action. 

Meeting someone new can be exciting. But what do you see?

Life is a zero-sum game. When we gain, we lose in another area. Today we examine those losses.

Let go of concerning yourself with what others think. They are judging you anyway. Their opinions don't matter because they have no  authority  over your life. That belongs to God...

Opinions are everywhere, just ask anyone for theirs and they will willingly share it. But is their opinion based upon facts? Or is it just what  they   think? Something to consider...

Every day we wake up, we are presented with another opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those we care about. Today we examine how we focus our day.

Giving someone our time is the greatest gift we can offer them.

You have been robbed! Don't worry. Everything that was stolen can be retrieved. Listen to today's message to find out how...

Audacity is not a bad word, although sometimes people use it that way. Today, I encourage you to live an audacious life. Settle for nothing less.

Tonight my life could have ended because I had a horrible auto accident. Even worse, the five young people who were in the car that hit me could have been killed or injured. We are all okay, and for that, among many other things, I consider myself grateful and blessed...

I see people chasing status and stuff. There is so much more to life...experiences, memories along with the peace that contentedness brings you. Don't chase so hard that you miss out on life. 

What do you believe about yourself? Are you telling yourself the truth, or are you living under a false impression?
