Here’s a primer on decision making (which I learned mostly the hard way) Make a decision only when there exist two or more options. I know, that is so obvious. But how many times have you found yourself fussing and fretting about things that are above your pay grade? Face it, there are some decisions … Continue reading

Today could be different
The way to see things grow, improve and get better is to do something different. Grit, determination, and working harder are good, but they will not improve a thing unless you do something different. Because you demonstrate tenacity and persistence will not matter if you do not do something different. You don’t have to blow … Continue reading
Strength for the weary & Power for the weak
The Everlasting God gives strength to the weary. And to him who has no might He increases power. (Isaiah 40:29, AMP) Continue reading
Root canals don’t last forever
When a problem comes your way, if your default is to look for an escape route, just know that you are sabotaging your life.

It is so easy to “go … Continue reading

A good question to ask yourself each day is: “What am I hoping for today?” Once you’ve clearly answered that question, then commit yourself to … Continue reading

There comes a point that adding one more thing, rearranging it one more time, and having one more meeting is not going to help a thing. Let it go and start the show! The ONE THING for today: Better to do something worthwhile imperfectly than to succeed perfectly at doing nothing. Continue reading
Throwing rocks
Dranafile “Drana” Bernai, the mother of Mother Teresa admonished her famous daughter: “When you do good do it as if you were casting a stone into the depth of the sea.” Good advice. The ONE THING for today: When reaching out to others, beware of attaching so many strings to your efforts that you end … Continue reading
