Humor, Not Stress, Saves Lives
I know I had an interesting childhood: When I was born, the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father “I’m very sorry. We did everything we could, but he pulled through.” My mother had morning sickness after I was born. My father carried around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet. My bath toys were a toaster and a radio. My favorite place to play was in the...

Talents And Abilities
Each of us, whether we want to believe it or not, has abilities. We usually don’t see our own, others will sometimes point them out. What if, one person doesn’t get that acknowledgment of a talent or ability? What if that person kept believing they were worthless? Futile? A loner? Are you reading this? Yes, you do matter. Yes, you do make a difference. Today alone, someone offered to get me a...

Positive Attitudes Make Good Business
Sit in different restaurants and you’ll get different responses from the waiters and waitresses. One might be having a bad day and will bark out, “What do you want?” Another might just be working to pay the bills and will sigh, “What will you have?” While still another will wear a smile, come over to your table and in a pleasant voice ask, “What can I get you this...

The Right Time To Wait
Are you in a rush? Do you find you have no time for anything? Is summer already flying by? Someone asked me, “You have a lot going on all the time, yet it doesn’t seem to phase you. Why is that?” Two things account for that. One is knowing when too much is too much. Second is patience. Yes, patience in all I do knowing not to rush something. The guy tenting out a week in advance for an...

Is there any limit to abilities? Well, depends on how much you want to do something and how much you are willing to practice. Drive and determination are something we all (abled or not) possess, but few take the initiative. I first saw this young man on the show “Secret Millionaire” on Fox last December. He was in a skate park and doing amazing tricks. He was also mentoring younger kids. So...

Lifting The Torch Of Light
If you watch the news, then you see the darkness. No need to rehash headlines here. But it’s time to turn on the light and look for the positive. As much as you channel surf, pick up a newspaper or surf the Internet, you can find good stories and information. What’s more is you can share positive stories and information as well. When you sit down at the dinner table or are talking with...

Abilities, Shaun, and the Internet
Shaun Greening was a teenager full of life. While giving a speaking presentation yesterday, I gave pause to talk about this young man I met so many years ago. What made me do it? Well, the presentation was on abilities, technology, and the virtual world. Even before the world of Second Life came to be technology had the ability to bring people together from great distances. You can read more on Shaun by...

Laughing Out The Stress...

Laughing Out The Stress
Mix an ordinary situation and mix in something strange and you might just spark a laugh. On a simple drive down the highway you see many people on their cell phones. Now take the cell phone out of their hand and replace it with a banana. When passing that, you’d have to do a double take. Listen to the doctors or not when they talk about how humor helps in the stress department. For me, I think they...

A Positive Lift-What is It...

A Positive Lift-What is It?
This is a new category that we’re going to start. Because of a love of flying, faith, and positive directions, a positive lift will showcase positive thoughts, ideas, and techniques to staying positive. In flying, a plane flies because of a positive lift upwards. If there was a negative lift, the plane would never get off of the ground. So it is crucial to always have a positive lift to keep soaring...
