You determine how full your glass is

You and you alone determine how full your glass is. The issue is not with the size of your glass or the quantity of the liquid in it. What matters the most is your attitude. None said it better than - Zig Ziglar, "Your attitude, not your aptitude, will determine your altitude." In order words how full your glass depends on your attitude. Is your glass half full? Do you think you are not where you want to be? What are you doing about it? Let the half full glass motivate you to

People of Color

What do you mean when we say people of color? How did we arrive at this? When we say some are colored does it mean some are colorless? The more I think about this broad classification of the human race into white and colored the more it does not make sense. In our attempt to come up with a simple classification scheme we have created a distortion of the human family that is not necessary. That is why it is necessary to visit this issue and make the necessary changes. The mark

The power of being #intentional in all you do

Nothing happens in a vacuum. Success is not reserved for those that are lucky. Intentionality is what sets those who are successful apart. Yesterday evening our ten year old daughter launched her first book titled “Swimming to Success: A Story About Overcoming All Odds.” This book is a result of being intentional in raising our children. For you to grow in your business and in every area of your life you have to be intentional with your time, resources, and associations. You

Drastic situations call for extreme measures

Do you want to reach your full potential? Then you must make some cuts. Just because you have great potential in you is not a guarantee that you will reach your full potential. There is a critical part you have to play for you to reach your full potential. This is why it is crucial that you discover this potential, develop it, and deploy it. If it was easy to discover, develop, and deploy the potential in us, all of us would be wealthy, healthy, and highly successful. I don’t

Three things that will make you #secure

We said you know you are secure when: 1) You know when to ask for help from others 2) You are open to other ideas 3) You admit it when you are wrong 4) You correct others when they are wrong 5) You empower others How are you doing as far as these five qualities are concerned? How secure are you? Are you afraid to ask others for help? Are you afraid to admit you are wrong? Are you afraid to correct others when they

Five Qualities of #secure people

Have you determined how secure you are? This is a crucial question that each person that desires to be successful in all areas of their life must answer. The sooner you answer this question the better for you. You are going to find out that how successful you are or will be is directly related to how secure you are. One of the top qualities of productive and excellent team players is individual security. The security we are talking about is not financial, material, or physica

How to experience the freeing power in the Truth

For the past couple of weeks, our discussion has been focused on a fundamental and extremely important statement made by Jesus Christ of Nazareth more than Two thousand years ago as he walked the dusty roads in Judea. He said, “You shall know the Truth and the truth will set you free”. Like it or not there is absolute truth and it is to your best interest to find it. You MUST find it no matter how expensive it is. The reason is that when the truth is violated the consequence

Knowing The Truth Must be More than Head Knowledge

I count not the number of times my son says, “I know” after I have corrected him about something wrong that he has done. Each time he says, “I know”, my response is,” If you knew it, you would have done what I asked you to do in the first place”, or “If you knew it, you would not have done what you just did.” I am not going to minimize knowledge but will state emphatically that knowledge which does not lead to ACTION will do you no good. It does not matter how much you know.

Drop it before it is too late

Do you want to reach your full potential? Then you must drop some of the load you are carrying. You already have great potential in you and have been uniquely gifted to accomplish an assignment that only you can. You are here at a time, such as this, because you are needed. That is why you must find this assignment and get behind it. But it will be impossible for you to reach your full potential if you keep carrying things that are hampering you and making it difficult for yo

All you need is the truth

More than two thousand years ago a bold declaration and profound statement were made by Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He declared, “You shall know the truth and the truth will set you free”. These few words have the potential of completely transforming every aspect of your life. You will reap a great reward when you begin to know the truth about your spiritual condition, health, finances, job, marriage, education, friends, investments, history, future, sleep, alcohol and the food

You can Help Stop Cyber #buylling

You may be wondering if cyberbullying is happening on a “professional” site like LinkedIn and if there is any point in writing about it. Bullying is well and alive and the perpetrators hide behind keeping all discussions on LinkedIn “professional” and try to silence others. These self-appointed LinkedIn gatekeepers and information moderators have come up with a “moral code for LinkedIn.” They have a strict standard that every discussion has to adhere to. For example, mentioni

One Sure Way Of Overcoming #discouragement

Discouragement comes to all. If you are not discouraged today and know somebody who is dealing with discouragement, I encourage you to reach out to them. Discouragement is one of the greatest “enemies” to productivity and has killed more dreams than anything else. Discouragement is dangerous because it tells you some of the following: You lack the necessary skills to accomplish the task before you You do not have what it takes to lunch a new product You do not have the right

How to Know When Not to Give Up

There is no single bullet or crystal ball through which you can read what the future holds for you. But it is crucial for you to know when not to give up. The paramount reason for you to remain in the games is that only those who stay in the game have a chance of winning the trophy. Those who quit have zero chance of receiving any reward. Jesus of Nazareth told a story about three servants who were given money by their master to invest in the market place. After giving the mo

How to Overcome #But.....

But is just a three letter word, yet it has killed more dreams and stopped most visions than any other word in the English language. It is one of the words that has the potential to stop a well-equipped and advancing army. BUT simply means, “Between Us and the Target”. You have a target, a goal, a vision and a dream about the type of life you desire to live or the type of work environment you want to work in, and then you let BUT come between you and where you want to be.

Why you must make some corrections

Do you want to reach your full potential? Then you must make some corrections. Those who reach their full potential do so not because they did not fail or had setbacks. In fact, the hallmark of the most successful people is how many times they have failed and all the obstacles they have overcome. Those who reach their full potential refuse to let guilt, shame, defeat, anger, bitterness, and so on to stop them from pursuing their dreams. These people keep plotting on, no matte

#Love is in the Air

This Saturday was Valentine’s Day and love was in many people’s minds. We will all agree that all we need is love and all the chaos, heartache, pain, injustices, and suffering in the world will disappear. “All we need is love” is an outcry that has been echoed for many decades. Unfortunately, we struggle to truly love. Maybe because we have failed to define what love truly is or have a misunderstanding of how to express it.

Three Things that will help you Thrive in a Toxic Work #Environment

Where there are people, issues, and problems will eventually arise, and it is essential to learn how to continue thriving even when the going gets tough. At times the people making the work environment toxic may be acting out of ignorance, and may not mean any ill at all. In some cases, some people out of frustration, or whatever reason they may have decided to make life difficult for others. For example, you walk into a meeting with them, and they perpetually talk down on ot
