Abundant Attitude

There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.

— William J. Bennett —

  This quote reminds me of a guy named Fred who worked with me several years ago.  He was retired and came to work for us part time as a delivery driver.  He could have simply put in his time and collected a pay check but he instead chose to infect the entire pharmacy with…

Work and Wait

Great things come to those who wait but continue to work their butts off while waiting.

— JJM —

Yesterday I achieved a goal I set for myself a couple of years ago.  I completed a ½ Ironman Triathlon distance race twice in one month…so I could say I did a full Ironman (2.4mi swim, 112mi bike, 26.2mi run) in one month. This particular goal took me three years longer than I wanted because…

Treasure or Trash

A philosophy of life: I'm an adventurer, looking for treasure.

Shifts Happen

Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.

— William James —

  Life is full of shifts.  Our response to the shifts will determine the type of life we live. A couple of years ago I got news about a problem with my health and I wasn’t real happy.  I don’t know about you, but for most of us when a setback takes place we go through…

Action – Results

Big results require big ambitions.

— Heraclitus —

  There are people who live in abundance and people who live in scarcity. I’m not talking about wealth or things, I’m talking about an attitude, a way of thinking. God gives us an abundance mentality and the devil tries to get us to live in the scarcity mentality. Based on your view of life,…
