  • The Category Mistake: Iron Sharpens Iron

    Who in your life helps you grow? Who do you help grow and change? Is change bad, or is it something that helps you grow and be a better person? Today I talk about how everyday we are around people who can either change us for the good, or the bad. Remember though, you are also changing them for the good and the bad. The question is are they helping you grow and are you helping them?

  • The Category Mistake:Be George Bailey

    Sometimes we are grumpy, frustrated, and overall upset with the world. Maybe we should start to be good to one another, not just to the people we must, but to people we see and meet daily. George Bailey once said "

    Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that this rabble you're talking about, they do most of the working and paying and living and dying in this community. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath?" That's what we should all strive for to help others.

  • The Category Mistake: I'M Sorry

    Why do we apologize for speaking the truth? Why do we apologize for living in a way that makes us and our family safe and happy? No one should ever apologize for being ourselves and we should also not expect others to apologize to us for doing what is best for them and their families. I'm Sorry is a powerful statement, lets start using it the way it is meant to be used, use it as a statement that shows that we care truly about who we have hurt.

  • The Category Mistake: Time

    Every day we have so many options for spending and using our time. Giving five or even ten minutes to a person when they need someone to listen can change not just their world but the world as a whole. The world has pushed us to worry more about me over we, the human race needs more we. And only WE can fix it.

  • The Category Mistake: What is Your Dream Job

    For most of our lives, we are told to go after our dreams and our dream job. If you're like me your dream job ideas have changed a lot since you were 8, 18, and even 28. What we need to understand is it is not just your dreams it's doing something with your life that makes you complete. I have mine, do you have yours?

  • The Category Mistake: You Matter

    Every day we get bombarded with the world telling us what to think, how to act, and how to be important enough for the world to care about us. Tell the world and all its negativity that their opinion does not matter. Tell yourself, tell others that you care about that they matter. They matter, You Matter, not just to your friends, not just your family, but to the creator of the Universe. From now on every day find someone in your life that you care about and tell them that they matter, and then tell yourself that YOU MATTER!!!!

  • The Category Mistake: What Are We Doing
    How have we become so angry that we no longer care about each other? We are so angry that we are now trying to assassinate Presidential candidates. We can no longer have breakfast together without the precursor of no talking politics. We also have stopped caring about people who need compassion and caring. What Are We Doing!!!!!

  • The Category Mistake: To Phone or Not To Phone?
    To Phone or not to Phone? That is the question not just for me but for everyone I know. I struggle with how a small piece of technology can run my life and everyone else around me. From Blackberry to the OG iPhone cellphones have grown not just in power but also in the power to control our everyday life.
