The sky is not the limit…I am. ~T.F. Hodge The ability to overcome our self-imposed limits is the first step in being able to experience the type of life we once thought unrealistic. I often find myself cringing inside when I am talking to someone who speaks in the terms of “if only.” If only I…

Daily focalPOINT – Success and a Name
Some people dream about success. Others wake up and work hard at it. I can remember years ago overhearing someone talk about why his kid wasn’t excelling in sports; it went something like this; “you have to have a name in order to have a chance at succeeding in sports at this school and my…

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 – Steps
An object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion… As I was reading the 9th verse of the 16th Proverb today; “A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord determines his steps,” I was reminded of the above fact brought to our attention years ago by Sir Isaac Newton….
Daily focalPOINT – Extra Effort
“The only certain means of success is to render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be…the surest way to doom yourself to mediocrity is to perform only the work for which you are paid.” ~Og Mandino I’ve lived long enough to confidently say, “you are correct…
Daily focalPOINT – Circumstance
“People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.” ~George Bernard Shaw, Mrs. Warren’s Profession, 1893. I couldn’t agree with…
