I saw this quote from Jim Rohn the other day and just had to share it: When dealing with people, I generally take the obvious approach. When someone says, “This always happens to me and that always happens to me. Why do these things always happen to me?” I simply say, “Beats me. I don’t…

Daily focalPOINT – Activity and Labor
One of my virtual “mentors” is Jim Rohn and I found this on his website yesterday: ACTIVITY & LABOR You must learn to translate wisdom and strong feelings into labor. The miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor. Make rest a necessity, not an…
Daily focalPOINT – Destiny(ies)
“One’s destination is never a place, but rather a new way of looking at things.” ~Henry Miller Another way to view this quote is to understand life is a journey comprised of multiple destinations.. The challenge is to make sure the various destinations lead to progress, as I’ve seen a fair share of people going…
Daily focalPOINT – Narrow or Broad?
“It is a narrow mind which cannot look at a subject from various points of view.” ~George Eliot The more I force myself to open my mind to other points of view, the more I grow as a human being… A person who has all the answers has obviously not asked enough questions… P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com…
Daily focalPOINT – Get over it…
“We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, over-reacting to minor things and sometimes taking things too personally.”  ~Dalai Lama Is this you? Some ways to overcome being over-sensitive is; forgive when you don’t want to, love when you don’t want to, give when you don’t want to, be happy for others…
Daily focalPOINT – Progress
“The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it’s the same problem you had last year.”  ~John Foster Dulles If you aren’t involved in a business this quote can also apply to your life. If you are dealing with the same problems year in and year out it…
Daily focalPOINT – Going Deeper
Being wise often means having no need to say a word and having people understand what you aren’t saying… The Proverb for today contains a few more nuggets about what it takes to go from being dumb to adding depth (see yesterday’s blog) to your life. Proverb 19:8; “Those who get wisdom love their own lives;…
Daily focalPOINT – Rock On Dads
Ephesians 6:4, “And fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Holman CSB) Back in the formative years of my adult life I spent way too much time Rocking and Rolling and the rolling consisted of me running away from my duties as a husband…
Daily focalPOINT – View
Shallow and sad is an entire lifetime viewed through the same set of glasses inherited from birth… We are all given a set of glasses to view life through when we are born. For the most part it is a “family prescription” that evolves over the years based upon our family’s beliefs as well as the circle…
Daily focalPOINT – Dare
“It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.” ~Seneca I write quite often about the devil’s favorite four letter word-can’t, but there is another word that starts with a C that he also enjoys watching us use. This other C word…
