Have you ever been in a car with someone and the question comes up, "What do you want to eat?" "I don't know, what do you want to eat?" "I don't know, anything is fine with me." "McDonald’s?" "Nah, I'm not in the mood for burgers" And so on for about another 3 miles. Quick decision making is critical in just about every aspect of life. Every decision you make produces a result. For some, the decision making process is a quick and painless one. For others, trying to choose what to wear first thing in the morning can be a time consuming project. Why It's So...

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." -Ambrose Redmoon Have you ever seen the game of chicken played in a movie or in real life? The game is played by two people in order to determine who is tougher. In the movies, two guys in fast cars face off and drive towards each other at high speeds until one of them “chickens out” and swerves at the last second narrowly avoiding a deadly crash. The winner of the game is the one who did not flinch. In the past few...

Read MoreThomas Edison's wise words bring life to anyone who has experienced frustrations due to missed opportunities. The person who finds themselves to be "unlucky", the individual who never seems to get a break, the one who seems to stay in the same rut time and time again. These are all examples of people who fail to hustle while they wait. Edison's timeless quote contains within it two crucial words that we should pay close attention to...wait and hustle.

Life is full of give and takes. But when it comes to criticism, most people would rather give than take. People react differently when they are criticized. Some people get angry while others may lose confidence in themselves. Then there are some who can take criticism and apply it in a positive way. My goal in this article is to help you become one of those people. Giving criticism can be as difficult as taking criticism. If your intentions are good but the delivery is not, your message will not be well received. When that happens, the person will not...
Read MoreHave you ever been in a situation where you had the opportunity to say something or to speak up for yourself but you didn’t? Maybe there was a decision to be made but for some reason you couldn’t muster up the courage to make that gutsy decision? With the lack of assertiveness, come missed opportunities to communicate your ideas and thoughts. The lack of assertiveness can also make you appear self-conscious and not having your own opinions. On the other hand, those who are assertive are seen by others as confident, more knowledgeable, more fun to be around, and more likely...
Read More1)Cary Grant From about the mid 1930s to the present, any leading man that wore a tux on screen was duplicating the persona that Cary Grant created. Dashing good looks and charm made Cary Grant a mega movie star and a film legend. For 33 years he was America’s ultimate movie icon. The ultra smooth British born actor created an image that every man envied and admired. Cary Grant (whose birth name was Archibald Leach) himself even joked about the larger than life persona that he created by saying “Everyone wants to be Cary Grant, even Cary Grant”. What you can...
