Find your passion...

Many of us lose ourselves in the journey of life.  When we start over, it is a chance find who we really are.  What drives you?  What are you passionate about?  We go through life blindly, numb and forget who we are.  We stop doing the things we love for one reason or another.  We start to identify as a husband, wife, grandparent or see ourselves as our job.  Whatever you have come to see yourself as doesn't have to be who you are.

It's time to get to know yourself again.  Try new things.  Find a workout routine or plan that you actually enjoy.  This may mean trying several activities until you discover one you look forward to and crave.  Find a new hobby or pick up one that you haven't done in  a long time.  Truly get to know yourself.  Try new foods.  This is a chance to be that person you know you are inside.

Make a list of things you want to do or experience!  It's time to grab the bull by the horns and life this life to the very fullest!

Are you ready? Really ready?

It's time to challenge yourself.  Whether the challenge is physical or mental, it is time to step up your game.  Summer has come to an end, and routines are changing over the course of the next couple weeks.  How did you spend your summer?  Were you a weekend warrior or a weekend partier?  Both have their different rewards and pitfalls.  Did you grow as a person?  Think about your summer.  There is no wrong answer.  You spent your summer living life the way you wanted to for those few months.  But... now what? Did the summer fun take you off course from some of your goals?  With kiddos everywhere starting their new routines, it is a great time for you to start too!  What area do you want to challenge yourself in first?  Do you want to work on personal growth or maybe your health?  Maybe there is something you've always wanted to try, but have never done.  I keep looking for new challenges to take me further. ...

What are you so afraid of?

What fears grip you as you try to fall asleep at night?  Do you wonder how you are going to pay a bill?  Are your kids on the top of your mind?  Are there problems in your relationship with your significant other?  Are you afraid that you are going to be alone?  Do you fear failing?  And when I ask about the fear of failing, I mean do you fear failing to the point that you are even afraid to try?  Different fears grab onto each of us during different seasons of life.  I have had many sleepless nights over some of my fears.  The fear can be crippling.  You can feel the weight of it pressing you down and holding you there.  Just thinking about some of the fears I have had over the course of the last few years, I can feel that tightness creep in.  One of the hardest things is to face our fears.  I have always had a fear of failure.  This fear has given me many nights of tossing and turning where I just can't shut my ...

Rise above the Yuck

In life we are going to have times that are painful and times that break us.  We are sometimes powerless to defend ourselves from the attacks that come.  We are faced with a decision at this point. How do we fight these attacks once they have happened? There are several ways we can fight.  We can fight silently.  Sometimes we do not need to speak our opposition to be heard.  Sometimes we need to let others fight for us.  We are given the right people in life at the right times.  Their words may be better received than our own.  Sometimes prayer is the only answer. No matter which route is right for the place you are at in life you also have a choice to rise above.  You can take the high road.  Why throw stones and act petty.  Take that road less traveled and don't take the bait.  When life or the people in it attack, you get to choose how you react.  Let's be honest though, our first reaction sometimes is not the one w...
