Climb That Mountain!
When life places a mountain of an obstacle in your path, climb right to the top of it rather than choosing to give up. It could be that you will gain a great deal of perspective from your new vantage point.

Sometimes we choose to believe that all the “crap” in our lives is there to stop us from achieving our goals. But in fact, it is there to work as fertilizer. It helps us grow and become stronger so that we can reach our goals. We just need to see it as such instead of using it as an excuse for failure.
The First Beatitude: Blessed are the poor in spirit… Who are the poor in spirit? Why is the kingdom of heaven theirs? The answer behind these two questions rests upon the spiritual meaning which Jesus taught during the Sermon on the Mount. The answer is not found through the literal meaning of each word, but in the spiritual, divine meaning relating to a person’s response to God’s calling. This calling…
This weekend is my great aunt’s birthday. She is the epitome of what a true Christian should be. You have heard numerous people make claims that they are believers but their actions and words say otherwise. Not my great aunt. She is the kindest, sweetest woman I know. She goes out of her way to help others. I can’t recall her ever being anything but the way that Jesus would want us to be. As…
A mistake is a: MINOR INCONVENIENCE SOMETIMES TAKEN ALONG WITH KNOWLEDGE AND EVOLUTION No one is perfect and we can never make the correct choice all of the time.

Not having goals is a much more dangerous failure than not reaching all of the goals that you have set for yourself. When you don’t have goals, you cannot measure your progress and see the reward for your effort. However, when you have not reached your goals, you feel motivated and inspired to work harder and achieve more. Keep setting goals and striving to make progress…reaching each goal is just icing on the cake.
Life is like a body of water. It must remain in motion to stay clear and pure. When there is no motion, no progress, both a life and a body of water, become stagnant, cloudy, and harmful to humans. Keep moving along the path that is your life. Embrace the changes and challenges that come your way and know that they are both critical to keeping your life healthy and happy.
Leadership is not about clawing your way to the top. A true leader does not act on selfish motivation. Instead, a leader does what is best for the group, team, or company. A true leader only rises to the top as a result of doing what is best for others
Success is no longer measured in dollars earned, the square footage of your house, or the money you have spent on possessions. We have evolved to understand that success is measured in the happiness you gain from the experiences in your life, the love that you share, and the good that you pass along to others during your life.
Not everyone has a rock-solid foundation to build their life on. But if you can imagine the future that you want, you can achieve it no matter what your foundation looks like. Think of your future as a home, or a place that you will reside at some point in time. Some homes are built on concrete, while others are made to float on the water. And yet others are constructed in trees that sway…
