Quit comparing Your competition is you.  Quit judging, quit comparing yourself to others. Their journey is not your journey.  Pay attention to yours.

Tactics vs. principles Don’t let a great tactic override a principle. In the race to excel, to reach goals, we must stay mindful of enduring principles.   Things like honesty, truth, respect, spiritual beliefs. It’s easy to lose sight of these when engaged in the arena.   It’s convenient to justify the wrong actions in the quest…

The courage to live in the gray It takes moral courage to live within the gray.  Few circumstances are black and white.  Few choices are supported by evidence of good and bad, yes and no. It’s up to us to sit in uncertainty, ask the questions, and live the answers

Believe it Beliefs fuel the power to create.  They also fuel the power to destroy. Choose the beliefs you embrace wisely.

Love looking at what you don’t know Your mistakes, weaknesses, and ignorances.  Understand them.  See them as teachers, challenges to learn and improve. Life starts to get better when you confront what you don’t know.

To change conditions, first change yourself It starts with thought.  What’s held in the mind affirms what’s truly desired.  Through consistent thought, augmented by desire, and expressed in continued effort, we begin to change, and our world begins to change. Change is not a result of chance, but of thought and action.
