"Give me the hill country!"

Want to add life to your years? Then you can't ignore this maxim.

Ever.

Seriously. Do we really think we are "all that and a basket of biscuits"?

Take a break, my friend. Learn to rest...

Mom used to always tell us, "Go outside and play!"

Don't mind if I do... Listen to your mother, folks. Let's go!

IMHO, the old Sprite commercial was as memorable as any.

Three rough-and-tumble dudes promoting a sport drink. But their characters break down when the director attempts an obvious correction. The third actor closes the scene hard with a whiny, "Excuse me. Excuse me... What's my motivation?!?"

That's a great question - let's talk about it for a quick tic!

Yet another financial principle that translates well into the bigger picture of life.

The shift can be subtle, but oh, so powerful...

Circumstances, personalities, timelines, and myriad of other factors are at play.

Adopting someone else's playbook rarely works.

Learn. Think. Adapt... Don't Adopt.

We are all in the process of "becoming".

One of the great blessings of life is a growing awareness of this truth...

"Is this thing on?"

How can you truly know your limits, your capabilities, your capacity...if you don't test your SELF?

"What gets measured, gets done."

It's the only way to know whether or not you are moving in the right direction.

External motivation has its place.

But true "power" over our circumstance comes through a deeper force - a drive that can only come from within.
