Achieve your destiny and be successful at any level by staying rooted in a strong work ethic, determination, and integrity. My Mom and Dad were factory workers and generations before them were farmers or coal miners. My path took me in a business direction, but it was still the work ethics and values of my blue collar roots that helped me reach top executive levels. My Dad was a man of few words, but as I navigated through my career I could always find the answers I needed in the subtle things he said or did. I believe these nuggets can help anyone achieve any level of success they desire and I want to share them. I have written many of these in an unpublished book, but my gift is talking and not writing. So I am going to share them in this weekly podcast in hopes someone finds them valuable or at least entertaining. It doesn't matter what color your collar is. We all have gifts and a purpose. None more important than the other. The important thing is that we all reach our full potential and be the best we can be.

Better To Be Sorry Than Safe
Most people tiptoe through life to make it safely to death. The sad reality is that they will never reach their true destiny or achieve their dreams. Therefore by not taking risks we are risking more.
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." T. S. Eliot -
12 Inches Away
Many spend their entire life searching for the answers never realizing they were always just 12 inches away.
"At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want." Lao Tzu -
The Internal Identity and External Image Conflict
Many who achieved fame have struggled with maintaining an image that is not their true being at heart. This creates an inner conflict that has led to drug abuse, mental illness, and even death. It's not only the famous. With the inception of social media it is becoming more of an issue. This is a major contributor to the increase in anxiety, depression, and drug use in our young generation.
Trying to be anything other than who God made us to be will cause struggle and rob us from the great joys of life.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” Ralph Waldo Emerson -
I Am There
I often receive requests to read poems, letters, and even eulogies. However, I have never received one that touched me as this poem did. It was sent to me anonymously and was exactly what I personally needed. I did my very best to honor the beautiful words and hope it fills your heart as it did mine.
No matter what your beliefs are, none can deny there is a greater power within us, around us, and beyond us. When asked who he was, Jesus simply answered "I am". Not I was, or I will be, but I am. Because he is the same yesterday, today and forever. This assurance of knowing that I am not in this journey alone gives me great comfort and joy.
On August 7, 1971, the poem “I Am There” was famously carried to the moon by Apollo 15 astronauts James B. Irwin, David R. Scott, and Alfred M. Worden. Stored in a microfilm file, the poem was intended to be left there for future space explorations. -
Chase Your Headlights
Many people will go to a job that they don't like tomorrow because it's what they did yesterday. The only difference is that they will be two days older and have two days less to achieve their dreams.
Yesterday ended last night. Make a move today that will put you a step closer to your goals tomorrow.
