Guiding Principles & Treasure

Live for yourself and you will live in vain. Live for others, and you will live again.

— Bob Marley —

  I love this quote by Bob Marley and it reminds me of someone I coached a few years ago. This coachee had twice the IQ I had.  His experiences in the business world doubled mine and I assumed his bank account was at least twice as mine.  He also had a vibe that generated…

It's not hard to make decisions once you know what your values are.

Purpose & Foundation

What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?

— (Matthew 9:25, MSG) —

  “So why am I here?” Is a question most of us eventually asks ourselves and/or our Creator. In the previous days I challenged you to take time to reflect on questions around “Whose” you are, who you don’t want to be, and who you are. Knowing the answers to these questions will assist you…

Higher Purpose

Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavors, even the best will come to naught. Unless there is God.
