Who owns the fuel that starts your fire? Do you own the wood to keep that fire alive? Many do not. How do you get control? There needs to be a follow through. People treat you like a chunk of wood. Your presence has to keep their fire burning. That can change. Own the fuel. You are the wood. Find your follow through.

Fitting in. What are the real chances of getting a nice fit on fitting in? We're constantly surrounded by conflict and everything else that charges up the batteries on how and why we don't feel like we fit in. What do the experts say? We need to communication. The conversation begins with asking the questions then questioning the answers.

It's called Ants. Automatic Negative Thinking Syndrome. Guilty as charged! We've all pretty much walked this path on our daily journey. Even my pastor has openly talked about how we allow our thinking to get in the way. Being aware of how attached we are to negative thinking will help us locate peace. But it's a long task. It's going to require change. Are you up for the challenge?

We live in an age where it seems everybody's doing a podcast. Well, they aren't. Why? Because those who have something to say don't know how or don't feel it's necessary to be part of the noise. Where and when also play a huge game in the decision to either jump in or jump out. Asking the questions and questioning the answers. An authentic conversation on the reality of modern broadcasting and how to part of it when you've already got too much on your plate.

We all do it. The fake smile! It gets through tough conversations. It helps us release the tensions discovered in life. Being a professional fake smiler, I also took note of the other fake things we do. How we can we learn to recognize them and use them as a tool? Why do we rely on fake things in our reality?

We live in an age of ever change. We know a lot but we aren't masters of success. When challenged we move on. Respecting success is a huge part of the growing journey. Do you respect your personal success? What about the success of the business you work for? Or is it just another job? People aren't coming to work because they disrespect success. It poisons the paths of the entire team. How do we learn to respect even those we're jealous of or we feel they shouldn't be in a position of decision making? Find respect for success energizes your heart and dreams.

I've been accused multiple times about being slow to react. Planning out the next step might come across as a weakness to some who lead. It's a difference between cleaning out your heart versus clearing your heart. How you want to receive is your choice. But did that choice lead to peaceful events? Anger is a symptom it's not a solution. So many choose to vent because nobody likes a loud and unfriendly dog and it's bite. Only to learn the four legged little creature is the most tame person in the room.

Asking The questions and questioning the answers. Defusing the H word. Truly looking at the misguided steps with forgiveness.

We've all said it and we've been with people that rely on it. Where do we begin? Begin? In everything we are, it had to have a beginning that took place long long ago in a galaxy far far away. Fix your today but taking note of today. You can't switch out the rules and suddenly be different. It's getting a full grip on the continuation which you are going to feed into when you say, "Where do we begin?" How did you get there should be the first bump to climb over. Where are you and who are you? No matter how many times you begin again and again, the questions only get bigger. Nobody likes change but we do it every day!

A simple but extremely difficult question. Are we supposed to instantly forgive someone after they've transitioned? No matter what events unraveled while still on earth, all is forgiven once they've been called home? Holding onto grudges. When should forgiveness play into the troubled journey?
