I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

“I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.â€Â ~Albert Einstein Throughout this time of looking at various readings from my FEAR-PROOF book, I’ve often encouraged you to picture what living without fear would look like. As human beings,…
Sometimes it only takes one good song to bring back thousands of good old memories… On January 1st I did my plan for 2016. I’ve been planning out my years for as long as I can remember and my theme for this year’s plan is “Reach and Simplify.” One of my first goals for simplifying…
Bring the past only if you are going to build from it.

The older I get the more I am amazed at how many people get stuck in a rut due to something that happened to them years ago and the rut conveniently turns into a grave with a life that stopped living because of the past. Nuff Said. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Isaiah 43:18, “Remember not the…
Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem more afraid of life then death.
— James F. Byrnes —
…chew on that one Is the desire for security paralyzing the part of your brain that sees opportunity? Personally I’ve never gotten hung up on being “secure” as I know how fragile life is through my own personal experiences. Some people talk about having a bucket list. Well I challenge you to not wait…
Great things come to those who wait but continue to work their butts off while waiting.

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…
 P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Proverbs 12:11, “Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.”
If you want to be happy, set a goal that commands your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes.
— Andrew Carnegie —
 I love this quote by Andrew Carnegie. Visualizing a dream and creating a plan for execution through goal setting does indeed command your thoughts, liberates your energy and inspires your hopes…I write from experience. No matter where you are in life or what the Good Lord has given you to handle, set goals in…
Paint the picture you would like your life to become and then do the things you need to do one step at a time, and one day at a time in order for the picture to become your life.

 It is amazing how we begin to change once we put our life vision (what we want to “be”) as well as our life mission (what we need to do in order to “be”) in writing and on paper and review our vision/mission on a daily basis. The simple acts of writing and reviewing…
To finish the moment, to find the journey’s end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom.

 This quote reminds me of the commercial for Direct T.V. that was airing a couple of years ago about the man who attended a motivational conference and left feeling good about himself and because he felt good about himself he went to Vegas in hopes of feeling better and while in Vegas he lost…
…”The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.” Â ~Robert H. Schuller The problem is we often stop running after our dream when a few things don’t go our way. Â Who knows, maybe God has a better plan for your dream… P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com A couple of keys: Â Write the dream down…
