It's good to see your face... well, in a blog-sort-of way, I guess. Since it's been a while that Micah or I have sent any blogs into the blogosphere, I'd like to give a brief refresh so we can get this hiatus out of the way and begin digging into ideas from old guys. Hey, … Continue reading It’s Been a While… Welcome Back!

Make Time for Break Time
Man, it has been a while since we have posted here, huh? But it reminded me of how important it is to your body, mind, and soul to just take a break sometimes. Granted, the last thing you want to do is procrastinate to the point of stressing out once you reach a deadline (as … Continue reading Make Time for Break Time
Stop Planning
Ok, so maybe I won't go so far as to say you never need to plan again. In fact, please don't do that. But now that I have your attention, I do want to challenge you, especially if you are a chronic planner, that your planning is making you fail. "What did you say?" Yep. … Continue reading Stop Planning
Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager
I would like to give an immediate shout out to the book that I will be referencing in this blog: Ken Blanchard's "Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager." Although he has authored a series of the "One Minute Manager" books, this one sticks out to me because of the path that I'm walking through. I'll … Continue reading Self-Leadership and the One Minute Manager
Spiritual Health
It's easy to see the physical signs of being sick - coughing, sinus pressure, blowing your nose, stomach-aches, etc. There is thankfully quite a bit of research and awareness being shared about the signs of a lack of mental health. But the signs of Spiritual Health are much more difficult to diagnose. I believe that … Continue reading Spiritual Health
Weekend Experiences
"How was your weekend?" "Fine; just stayed in and relaxed." This tends to be the normal conversation on Monday morning for most people. Nothing wrong with it, per se... just seems to be a little boring. Are you aware that in an average 75 year lifespan, there are only 3,900 weekends? Maybe that seems like a lot... … Continue reading Weekend Experiences
Remember When We Were Kids?
Childhood is such a cool phase of life. Finding yourself, creating yourself, discovering the world around you, and experimenting with the resources at your disposal no matter how simple. What happened to that fearless desire to just throw bold colors against each other and find out that on the other side was a beautiful painting? … Continue reading Remember When We Were Kids?
Listen Before You Speak
There are so many different books that have taught this lesson in so many different ways across so many different cultures. The book of James says it best, in my opinion: My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.James 1:19 … Continue reading Listen Before You Speak
What’s Bigger: your reasons Why or your fears of Why Not?
The presence of fear normally displays a lack of future-vision and a strong focus on circumstances of the present. While this isn't the case every time (some people ask themselves fearful "What if" questions that actually create fear of the future), it does tend to be a general truth. If you tend to love in … Continue reading What’s Bigger: your reasons Why or your fears of Why Not?
Self Evaluation Questions
Some blogs are long diatribes of my personal opinion, others are book reviews, while I occasionally share some wisdom that I've learned from personal experience. This blog will be a little different. I'm going to take some information directly out of a book and ask you to do a self-evaluation. In Napoleon Hill's classic book, … Continue reading Self Evaluation Questions
