A Premature Obituary

Can you imagine stumbling across your own obituary in the newspaper? That’s exactly what happened to Alfred Nobel. There had recently been a death in his family and the newspaper accidentally ran his obituary instead.

Are We Creating Our Future?

The other day I was sharing with someone that we just released our first book. The response was, “It’s nice when that happens to you.” My internal thought was, “What?

Stinking Thinking or Freeing Thinking

In order to be able to devote some time to our calling, we first need to get control over our day’s activities. One of the most common, unproductive thought patterns we see is thinking that we’re not in control. We use language like, “I have to …” or “I can’t…” as if we don’t have […]

Deep Satisfaction

It wasn’t until we started pursuing our calling that we learned a very important lesson: deep satisfaction in life comes when we contribute to the world and build up other people in a meaningful way. The simple truth is that we don’t get true satisfaction by focusing on ourselves. Think of it this way: whom […]
