Posted on | January 22, 2013 | No Comments
There are many people that I know of who strive so hard to achieve greatness, fame, wealth and even love. They move heaven and earth to reach their goals and fulfill their dreams all because they are after the same thing – HAPPINESS. They wish to achieve that certain level of satisfaction and joy through their accomplishments hoping that it will give them genuine happiness. But the sad truth is, they are all bound to fail miserably because they have [...]

Everything is About the Ride – the Journey Along the Way
Posted on | January 16, 2013 | No Comments
Back in the day there was a TV series called ABC’s Wide World of Sports. This was a seminal chapter in broadcasting that had a huge ripple effect on all that would follow. An announcer’s V.O. spoke of the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat, over a riveting montage that included a downhill skier crashing and burning. This is what sports is about – the ride, the journey along the way. We may not always like it and [...]

Making Sense of Betrayal To Keep Us Focus On The Journey
Posted on | January 15, 2013 | 1 Comment
There’s a scene from the 1988 movie Shoot To Kill that still makes my blood run cold. Maybe you remember the movie, it starred Sidney Poitier and Tom Berringer, and it was about their search for a jewel thief who murdered his victims. During one scene in the movie there’s a group of backpackers hiking in the wilderness on a flyfishing trip. You and I as viewers know that one of the fishermen is the killer, but we don’t know [...]

What Happens When You Are Genuinely Concerned About Others?
Posted on | January 9, 2013 | 1 Comment
Yesterday, I wrote a piece about one sure thing to cultivating friendship. Toward the last part of the post, I quoted this line about love, “Love is the utmost concern for the welfare of others”. I took this line about love as my own definition of love when I was growing up as a teenager and later as a young man. Now, there are certain things happen when you’re genuinely concerned about others. And that’s what I would like to [...]

As I prepare to write an article I often think of the things I need to read. So this post is just as much for me as it is for you, as we successfully walk together in this journey called life. I remember a story of an incident at a Special Olympics where handicapped children competed with tremendous dedication & enthusiasm. One event was the 220-yard dash. Contestants lined up at the starting line, & at the signal, started running [...]

The Rise and Fall of Nine Richest Men of The World
Posted on | January 7, 2013 | 1 Comment
Millions of people think of fame and fortune when they measure success or a successful life journey. Fame and fortune does not guarantee a person a successful life journey. In fact, just like any huge responsibility, fame and fortune requires a significantly higher degree of resolve and personal discipline, coupled with a strong morality to really handle the pressures that comes with it. Seldom a person is ready to be that strong to absorb those pressures of life that fame [...]

3 Things God Gave At Christmas When He Gave Jesus
Posted on | December 22, 2012 | No Comments
What Did God Gave this Christmas? In Jesus Christ, God gave us the opportunity for the forgiveness of our sins. You see, we’ll never have peace with our fellow man until first we’re at peace with ourselves. And we can never really be at peace with ourselves until we’re at peace with God. And we can never be at peace with God until our sins have been forgiven. I heard something unusual a few years ago. In the Eastern part [...]
