I hope you are reaching for the stars with this one caveat. The "things" in your life won't bring you rich and sustained happiness. Don't get me wrong; I LIKE NICE THINGS! There is nothing wrong with wanting nice things (well, unless they take precedent over more important things). Nice things often make life more convenient on many different levels – one of which is a pleasure. However, this feeling of pleasure is fleeting. "Things are soulless."  Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/37fXQ7Ll6Bc I have found that sustained fulfillment and happiness come from those things much closer to the heart, i.e., family, belief in a higher power, friends, service (contribution), personal growth, overcoming challenges. As you strive for greater success in your life, anchor yourself to life's deeper values. Re-center your life and behaviors on the things that really matter.  Experiment with my words. People matter. Love wins! #happiness #lovewins #truehappiness #glamour #personaldevelopment #throwback

When going after goals, there is a delay between the time you take action and when you see the results.

Hang in there and believe your goals and dreams are possible. This is just a little bit of my story. Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/GJ2amKDtyI4 #itspossible #legalshield #achievement #faith

One of the most popular books ever created has a powerful story about the power of belief and faith. In the Bible, there is the story of Gideon and his battle against the Midianites. While speaking to a small intimate group, I shared some thoughts around the concepts of faith, power of thoughts, beliefs, and how they create possibilities. My message is to believe in yourself and in the invisible power and opportunities that surround you. They exist, but you need to increase your faith. The future is bright.

Is it possible to love your job and perform at a high level? Recently, I was stunned to see the uproar on social media regarding comments made by the number one NFL draft pick, Trevor Lawrence, who is now headed to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lawrence is quoted saying, "I don't need football to make me feel worthy." He went on to say, "It's not like I need this for my life to be OK. I want to do it because I want to be the best I can be.” Listen to the article I wrote. The truth is for every leader, helping your people love their job will always outperform the motivation that comes through having a chip on your shoulder.

Don't be like a caterpillar. As you'll discover in this video, processionary caterpillars don't get off the beaten path to find better opportunities around them. Take off your blinders and get out of your comfort zone!  In our personal lives and even company cultures, there's a tendency not to question the status quo. To keep doing things and repeating the past because, "That's the way we've always done it." This is the recipe for failure. What's the answer? Question the status quo. Decide to go from GOOD - to BETTER - to BEST! Hold yourself to the highest standard and live life to the fullest! As the old proverb states, "Don't go where the path may lead, go with there is no path and leave a trail." • Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JZ66ke_egPA

While interviewing fighter pilot and bestselling author Carey Lorenz, we talked about people who get defensive when receiving feedback. Rather than get defensive, ask yourself, "Is there truth in what someone is saying?" Sometimes there is merit, and other times, one should be wary of who it is coming from and their agenda? Are they qualified to be giving such feedback? Even if they are not necessarily "qualified," is it possible that the information is true and could be beneficial? Either way, as you seek to be more effective, consider the information with curiosity rather than rejecting it out of hand. How could the new information benefit your life by you making an adjustment in thoughts or actions? Embracing feedback is a sign of someone who has high self-esteem and a feeling of self-worth. Be humble and smile! #feedback #embracefeedback #leadership #attitude #defensive #feedback Subscribe to TJ's Podcast: https://apple.co/3ligOS9 - Watch on Youtube: https://youtu.be/RNMv3-himSM
