This morning on our mastermind call I learned from my friend Chris that you don’t need a parachute to go skydiving. You only need one, if you want to go twice. ha ha.. (good one Chris). 🙂 Serendipitously, a friend posted this video of Will Smith Skydiving in our Think And Grow Rich Facebook group. …
I just finished Man’s Search for Meaning by Victor Frankl and am deeply inspired, yet again by this book’s powerful message. It’s as if Victor Frankl traveled to the inner depths of the soul through some of life’s darkest tragedies and brought us back spiritual diamonds & rays of light we can use to shine …
I was listening to a podcast the other day where an Agnostic/Atheist Bible scholar was being interviewed. When asked about why he ultimately lost his faith in a higher power, he said… “I just can’t reconcile the fact that there is so much suffering in the world with the idea of a higher power.” This …
Oftentimes when someone says to me, ‘do you have any questions?’, I’ll jokingly respond with ‘yes, what is the meaning of life?’ Maybe the inner urge that bubbles this question up is not so uncommon.

Whenever I take the time to arise and read, I’m grateful, for mental and spiritual treasures seem to always await the sincere and searching mind. Today was no different. In my first …
Yesterday I watched a thought provoking new documentary on Netflix called Come Sunday. It’s quite a story about a Pentecostal preacher named Carlton Pearson who was, at one time, one of the most famous preachers in the Unites States. He was a man with incredible authority and close connections in very high places throughout the …
A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Just because you know something, doesn’t mean you know everything. A read a post yesterday from a 7 figure networker that said, “A closed mind is the most expensive thing you’ll ever own.” Funny thing is, many minds become closed, after first being open a bit, and …
When we as people pass judgments on other people, it’s like we’re taking a photo of that person and saying, “This is it, that’s all there is.” The problem with this is, people are more like movies than they are like photos. A photo is a still shot in time. People always have a next …
