Context is King

Rena and I were talking the other day about how we can best support people to make their splash in the world as big as possible. We noticed a number of people thinking that they can get all the support they need by reading books, blogs and listening to podcasts. We feel sad for them because these […]

A Mystery Garden

If you wanted to grow some vegetables, you’d plant a garden. Let’s assume it’s a traditional garden with real soil–not a fancy hydroponic thingy. You’d prep the soil and plan the seeds. Maybe you even set up a drip system so you didn’t need to water it manually. Could you stop there and assume you’d […]

Too Much of a Good Thing

If you ever have some good information to share, I’ve learned a key lesson in how to share that information better. Ready? Here it is: less is more. You’ve probably heard that before. I’ve heard it a lot, but I’m just really starting to understand it now. It’s easy to want to give lots of […]

Making Your Workday Fly By

One of my favorite radio stations–KLOVE–claims that it makes your workday fly by. It got me thinking. How many people are stoked to have their workday fly by? Do most people want their workday to hurry up so they can get on to doing something else they’d rather be doing? You see, I can’t relate […]

Dictionary.com defines ‘casualty’ as: any person, group, thing, etc., that is harmed or destroyed as a result of some act or event. I am seeing more and more how casualness creates casualties. I’m not proud to say, that I’ve created a fair amount of casualties myself by showing up too casual. Here is what I […]

My Before and After

I have a before and after story. My heart attack started the change, but the changes have been a journey for me. My changes are both internal and external. I have had to grow and work on myself, and I have had to change my regular activities. It’s not been easy. And I am not […]

Thinking with your Heart

I’m usually in my head. I’m pretty darn smart, I like to think about things, and I’m good at it. I often use words like: “interesting”, “think”, and “analyze”. My mind is pretty powerful. But I miss a lot when I don’t think with my heart. First let’s talk about what it means to think […]

Your Dream Fulfilled Now

Do you have a dream you’ve been putting off? Maybe you’ve had a dream in your heart to make a big difference in people’s lives, but you see it coming way off in the future. How cool would it be if you could realize that dream now instead of years from now? I’ve seen people […]

Blossoming People

An awesome way to make an impact in the world is in blossoming people. People are given a ton of crappy messages all throughout their life. People are told that they’re not good enough, not skilled enough, not good looking enough, not smart enough, and more. As a result, most people are all closed up. Where […]

What is God Dreaming for You?

If you assumed that God was full of love and grace, and had your highest good in mind, what is God dreaming for you? What would you imagine? Would it be the life you have now, or would He dream for something different? What would be in your highest good? Would he want you to have […]
