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 – Seek AND Listen
When life seems much too complicated and overwhelming…chances are you forgot to include God in on what you are doing or else you included Him and you just aren’t listening… Including God in on everything you do is a great solution to all problems but the solution is worthless if you don’t listen to what…
Daily focalPOINT- Pretty Pumped
My oldest son Jason is getting married to his college sweetheart Ashley Taylor this evening.

Daily focalPOINT – Moving On
“There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page and closing the book.” ~Josh Jameson Where are you today? Is it time to quit turning the page and simply close the book and move on? Our past was not intended to be our present and/or future. Sometimes it is best to move on…
Daily focalPOINT – Conflict
“Conflict cannot survive without your participation.” ~Wayne Dyer If you are one who is always in confict with something the conflict is not about something it is about you. Life is so much easier when I choose to accept the things I cannot change, change the things I can and walk away with grace from…
Daily focalPOINT – Temper
“Education is the ability to listen to almost anything without losing your temper or your self-confidence.” ~Robert Frost An attribute of a great leader is the ability to “temper” one’s anger.
