"Give me the hill country!" Want to add life to your years? Then you can't ignore this maxim. Ever.

Seriously. Do we really think we are "all that and a basket of biscuits"? Take a break, my friend. Learn to rest...

Mom used to always tell us, "Go outside and play!" Don't mind if I do... Listen to your mother, folks. Let's go!

IMHO, the old Sprite commercial was as memorable as any. Three rough-and-tumble dudes promoting a sport drink. But their characters break down when the director attempts an obvious correction. The third actor closes the scene hard with a whiny, "Excuse me. Excuse me... What's my motivation?!? " That's a great question - let's talk about it for a quick tic!

Yet another financial principle that translates well into the bigger picture of life. The shift can be subtle, but oh, so powerful...

Circumstances, personalities, timelines, and myriad of other factors are at play. Adopting someone else's playbook rarely works. Learn. Think. Adapt... Don't Adopt.

We are all in the process of "becoming". One of the great blessings of life is a growing awareness of this truth...

"Is this thing on?" How can you truly know your limits, your capabilities, your capacity...if you don't test your SELF?

"What gets measured, gets done." It's the only way to know whether or not you are moving in the right direction.

External motivation has its place. But true "power" over our circumstance comes through a deeper force - a drive that can only come from within.

Only you really know... Are you pushing your limits? Challenging yourself? Doing your best? Or, are you phoning it in, even if it looks good?

That's 10 5/7 weeks. Approximately 2.5 months. If you or I commit to doing (or NOT doing) something 75 times - 75 days in a row - something is bound to change within us. Consistency...over time...it's a powerful force.

There is nothing new under the sun... How are you taking ownership of the learning process, even if "you've heard it all before"?

You know it's true. You and I both have, at one level or another, an addictive personality. It's part of our human nature. Why not leverage the power of choice to make our addictions serve us (rather than the other way around)? (Please forgive - audio difficulties!)

One of this word's multiple definitions is most commonly used, but I prefer one of the alternates. It speaks to the fullness of our "created self" - our redemptive potential. (Please forgive - audio difficulties!)

It is interesting to me that "prepper" is a less-than-positive moniker in our society. Some may say preppers are overly paranoid and too extreme in their views. But make no mistake - the proverbial floods will come. Will you - will I - be prepared?

Time. It's a tough nut to crack. Be aware of our inability to fully understand it. Overcome. Get 'er done. Eventually, you'll be very glad you did!

We all have one. Understanding that the "truth" that guides another's thinking and actions is different than the "truth" that guides our own - this is a mark of maturity and wisdom.

1. Normalize It 2. Approach It with Boldness 3. Reframe It 4. Rest in It Simple (but most times not...).

Goal: Always have the right tool for the job, maintained and ready to roll. An age-old wisdom, but oft overlooked in today's battle for frugality...

It feels so GOOD to push that first one! Set 'em up, and PUSH!

"How long can you keep this activity going?" Tis a critical question in the arena of life rhythms. Be aware. Be selective. Be diligent. There is too much power in these rhythms to let them die on the vine...

There are a few realities in life that, if we would only embrace them, have the power to change everything . This is one of them. You and I were designed to walk uphill...

In a very loose interpretation of "A stitch in time..." - keeping a consistent, steady drip of information and inspiration inputs keeps the ideation drought at bay. It's good to keep a strong Rhythm of Ideation!

Have we lost all hope of civility? Would you be willing to join me in this fight??
