What does it mean to “keep your edge”? Think about that term: the edge. If you relate that to a 200 story building, standing on the edge would be kind of scary. If you think about the old iron merry-go-round in the park of your childhood, hanging off the edge while it spins around is […]
Investment or Expense?
How do you look at the money you spend – as a cost, an expense, or an investment? There are costs and there are payoffs to every decision you make, and this is true whether you are referring to time, money, or attention. You will need to give up something in order to get something […]
Do your resolutions stick?
For many – dare I even say most? – people, resolutions are those things you know you should stop or start doing and with the turn of the new calendar year, you tell yourself this is finally the time. I’m going to the gym. I’m going to stop smoking. I’m going to save money. I’m […]

The purpose of polarizing
What if instead of pushing people apart, polarizing language actually has a purpose to help us come together? I could be completely wrong about this – and I’m prepared to be – but hear me out. Napoleon Hill told us in Think and Grow Rich that “Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has […]
Wake Up!
If you want to truly live the life of your dreams, you will need to stop dreaming and start waking up. And unless you are content with simply existing in dreamland even when you are supposedly awake, you will need to take action in the direction of that dream. Sometimes we are awakened by a […]

There are so many versions of truth these days that it’s no wonder we’re a bit confused by the entire concept. Susan Scott, in her book Fierce Conversations, has an interesting take on truth. On page 21 she writes: “Pause for a moment and think about the truth. After all, what is the truth, and […]
