Sometimes our resolve is only as good as the reward we perceive there to be at the end. Sometimes that reward comes at a great cost. I believe there are times each year when we need to stop and reflect on our resolve. It is often during this time that I think about my resolve and the sacrifices that have been made not only in forming this great nation but also in securing its future of this nation I think of the...

Integrity has been on my mind lately as I have watched those around me deal with others who find it so easy to set their integrity aside. Even more interesting, when I started looking for quotes on integrity I had a good laugh at some of the people who have quotes about the subject. If you need some good entertainment do a search on brainy quotes for integrity. Integrity Reveals your Character That’s the thing, your integrity, or the lack...

I graduate on Friday. I can’t believe I am finally getting to say that. This day is 27 years in the making. I never gave up; I just had to wait for the timing to be right. I’m still waiting for grades to come in for the final two classes I took this semester, but I have high hopes of graduating with a 4.0 at UNT. Combined with my earlier college courses I am graduating Magna Cum Laude. I just...

The love of baseball is real with this girl. My team is doing fairly well. They are leading the West and 5th in the American League and 10th overall (at the time of this writing). Right now they are being consistent. Their hitting and fielding are where it is at. Their pitching, well, I like the Texas Rangers, what can I say. Sure I would like to see them with a few more wins under their belt, but for now, I am happy with their...

Earlier in April I was listening to my IRL friend Heather on a webinar. That’s right, I was multitasking (probably Pinterest) so I was listening instead of watching. Anyway, something she said was an “ah ha” moment and so I knew it would be perfect for a Motivation Monday post. I started texting her as soon as it was over letting her know ho much I enjoyed it and asked if I could use her purpose quote and if she...

Perhaps you have already heard about a little Broadway phenomenon known as Hamilton? If not, you should check out the soundtrack. I am not big into hip-hop or r&b but this soundtrack, just WOW! The first time you listen to it you focus on how great the music is and then as you go back and listen to it over and over and listen to the stories. It is so well written and composed, but make no mistake, the success of...

It is probably a fair to say that people don’t like to do things that cause them pain. It makes sense, right? I know there are exceptions to this general rule, but overall we tend to run from pain. We are at a place in society, however, in which we have taken it a step further and like to avoid any type of discomfort. I would counter this current trend by saying that in our efforts to avoid discomfort we...

With MLB season openers happening across America I found it only fitting that the quote this week reference baseball. There are so many great ones, that it was hard to narrow it down so don’t be surprised if baseball quotes pop up all season long. There is so much truth in this quote, not only as it relates to baseball but in our professional and personal lives as well. We each have new opportunities every day. It is what we...

Confused? Exactly! Without clarity, there is no focus. Clarity, by definition, means to have understanding, to see clearly. With clarity there is no confusion, there is no chaos. Clarity is a quality to be desired and had. It is a goal to attain. It is practically the first step to any project. But how do you spend clarity? Absence of Clarity While it isn’t the first definition and one not typically seen in casual conversation. Afford can be defined as...
