A person doesn’t really live until they learn to discipline themselves. Discipline means; “To do WHAT you should do, WHEN you should do it, WHETHER you like it or not.” A person whose inner life is undiscipline and chaotic eventually MUST display this confusion…through their behavior… to the world. Before a person can accomplish anything Read More

Effective Thinking
No matter the conditions you’re dealing with today, if you change your thinking, you will change your conditions. Based entirely on your thinking, you travel through the world; based entirely on the love you have for yourself and the world around you, you will attract that same love to yourself. Contrary to popular opinion…you are Read More
Good from Bad?
For quite some time, it has amazed me that some people actually looking to improve the quality of their lives believe that they can get good results from bad input…you know…good behavior from bad thinking. It amazes me. I don’t know, but maybe this can happen in the short term, but I know for a Read More

Persistence
Most people quit. It’s as simple as that. Most people quit. It’s no secret…successful people never quit. If there is a secret…it’s that persistence is a main ingredient to winning at anything. It frequently comes down to being just that simple…that success hinges on simply never giving up. Calvin Coolidge said: “Nothing in the world Read More
A Way To Get What You Want From Others
Bill Stilwell from the Management Institute, University of Wisconsin, said, “So, to the degree you give others what they want, they will give you what you want.” I was amazed by this simple statement. I’ve never forgotten it. I saw it as one of those rare, precious moments that can change your life if you Read More
Mediocrity
Today…so many have come to accept “average” as a standard of performance. To many the challenge is to dare to be average. “Safety” and “security” have become ideals in this world and this as much as anything else as almost completely submerged our desire for excellence. The truth is…there is no security…there is only opportunity. Read More
Sacrifice
In the fall of 1988, I was faced with a major decision. It involved my car. It was a 1973 yellow Corvette I had purchased brand new 15 years earlier. It was my pride and joy, the only thing I owned of real value to me and I had taken really good care of it. Read More
Courtesy
At the risk of giving away my true age… I started my training in Martial Arts over 51 years ago. I began my training exclusively in Taekwon-Do some 10 years later already holding a 2nd Degree Black Belt in Karate. However, I had to start my training all over in Taekwon-Do from the rank of Read More
Relationships
For me, it’s been a long painful process. Learning the importance of intimate, long-term, loving relationships. It is one the truest measures of how well we’re doing as human beings. For some people (especially men) it is difficult to find the courage to commit themselves fully to a relationship. Usually this is because they’re afraid Read More
