    How often in your lifetime do you suppose you’ve heard or read the phrase “end-of-year”? There are always end-of-year sales during which everyone hopes to find great bargains from after Christmas items to end of the season garments. Stores are always looking to grab your attention with these phrases and sales in the hopes of…

    I’m reading a book. Nothing new or unusual about that. What is different is that the book was written in 1902, making it, perhaps, the oldest book I’ve ever read, outside of the Bible. The book is As A Man Thinketh, by James Allen. Overall the book is about having inner peace based on what…

    Not many seem to have it. Even fewer seem to know they need it. Fewer still are willing to make the effort to seek it or even ask for it. This is tragically the situation when it comes to wisdom in today’s world. We need knowledge, but more than that, we need the understanding of…

                Our last blog was about your emotional ROI, or Return on Investment.  You will remember that it was focused on what kind of returns we are getting from our emotions: positive/profitable or negative/loss.  I hope that you have taken the time necessary to think this through.  There is no doubt that you are going…

    For those of you with a business background, you’ll immediately recognize the initials ROI.  For those who never opened a Business Admin text or have never researched investment ideas, the letters stand for Return on Investment.  Simply stated, this means how much a company is earning (income and profit) on their investment (which may be…

  • EMOTIONAL WEALTH

    I have often said to clients that each person has a limited amount of emotional ability at any given time. It’s sort of like a bank account from which we get money to spend, which depletes what we have available to us, until we are able to replenish the funds. It is healthy to look…

  • HABITS: Such Fickle Friends

    Have you ever had a bad habit? Umm…OK. Let me re-phrase that: How many bad habits do you have? I know that the phrase “bad habits” can mean different things to different people. Let me admit right off the bat that I am old-fashioned, so you won’t be surprised when I say that when I…

    One of the most important things we can do in relationships is to show that we value one another. This is true among family members as well as between friends. It is especially important between husbands and wives. But how do we show that we value one another and why is it so important? Let’s…

    (This is a copy of the April Life Choices Newsletter. Be sure to note the free giveaway at the end!) It is so good to be able to enjoy warmer temperatures as we move out of winter into Springtime.  Now, we’re focused on gardening, yardwork and camping.  Yes!  Every year one of our simple pleasures…

    I am currently working on my next book, which is a Men’s Devotional from the Book of Proverbs. The working title for it is THE PROVERBIAL MAN: Practical Wisdom For Today’s Man. I find that there is a wealth of information for men from the Book of Proverbs as Solomon gives these statements of teaching…
