Silliness

I am constantly reminded by my son what it’s like to be silly and a kid. Do you remember those days? Funny how we forget that when we become adults. We become so serious. Goofy gets more laughs than cool. What do you think? Hope this photo puts a smile to your face and makes you remember what matters most in life – faith, family, and love.

Success

“The summit is believed to be the object of the climb. But its true object—the joy of living—is not in the peak itself, but in the adversities encountered on the way up. There are valleys, cliffs, streams, precipices, and slides, and as he walks these steep paths, the climber may think he cannot go any farther, or even that dying would be better than going on. But then he resumes fighting the difficulties directly in front of him, and when he is finally able to turn and look back at what he has overcome, he finds he has truly experienced the joy of living while on life’s very road.”

– Eiji Yoshikawa

Gratitude

Grateful for another day. 感謝 or kansha means gratitude in Japanese. The first character means “to feel” and the second means “to thank.” What are you most grateful for today?

Keep Hiking

For the times you just want to get off that mountain. Keep moving forward. You’re on your way to great things! Believe in yourself! Believe in your journey. If you keep moving there will always be others God places to assist along the way. It may not always be obvious what path to take but no path to greatness is simple or easy. Fight through it.

What are you chasing after?

Chasing after power is like chasing after the wind. You’ll always end up empty handed. Chase after love. Love lasts beyond power, titles, fame, and fortune. So what do you love and who do you love? Chase after the relationships that matter. Ultimate success is luxury of time to do what you truly want to do and live with who you truly want to live.

Is Your Vision Straight?

What we do not can have a generational impact. What legacy do you leave behind? Make your days and years count!

A Simple Life Is A Good Life

I used to think that leading a jet setting busy life was the key to success and happiness. I’ve since learned that the opposite is true. The simple things in life are often the best things in life.  The more things I have in my life, the more distractions and less gratitude. The less I have in my life, the more grateful I am for what little I have.  Simplify your life and enjoy your life: Peace.

Overcoming Fear

Fear is not always an indicator that something is wrong. It may be the strongest sign telling us what we have to do.

Conquer One Monkey Bar at a Time Says My Son

This is how you move! Early and often and with purpose. If a 4 year old can pick himself up after falling 5 times, we can get up and conquer the monkeybars in our life.
