Have you ever put something off, only to find it looming over your head like a dark cloud? Maybe it’s a business you want to start, the sales calls you need to make, or a book you want to write, or an exercise program you’ve been meaning to start. When the thought of it drifts […]
Wanderlust is the strong desire to travel and explore the world. I have to admit, I have been bitten by the bug and have spent the past 17 months on an epic adventure on the West Coast. The reasons for embarking on the journey were many as I noted in a previous article, “Why I […]
We tend to think of life in segments of time. You could definitely make arguments for and against this concept. But for the sake of what I’m about to share…I’m going with the “pro” argument.

Consider this scenario. At the end, there is a useful question to ask that can help solve this person’s quandary.

Today is always a somber day for me, as it is for many. I was in my late 20’s and working out at a gym when I watched in horror as they showed the images of the first plane slamming into the side of the first tower. Then I remember watching the next sequence unfold […]
As I write this, it’s the 12th anniversary of 9/11. I remember where I was as vividly as if it was yesterday. That morning caused many of us to come face-to-face with the sheer horror and atrocity brought forth by man. And if we look at the world in which we live a dozen years […]
As many of you know, I’m in the final weeks of preparation for Ironman Lake Tahoe. It will be my third Ironman race which consists of a 2.4 mile swim, a 112 mile bike and a 26.2 mile run. Needless to say, it’s a long day when your body and mind are tested and pushed […]
