Why does it seem like every time you commit to changing a bad habit, something happens that tests just how committed you are? You start a diet, and then you get a call from a friend who wants to go to your favorite restaurant. Or sometimes you promise yourself you are going to immediately start on an assignment that has to get done but you end up procrastinating until the very last minute?

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.

There’s something very heroic about Michael Jordan stealing the ball from Karl Malone, taking the ball up court, and hitting a last second shot as his defender stumbles to the floor. We love to see the dauntless doctor on television spring into action to rescue the patient whose vital signs are dropping at a rapid pace. Or the firefighter who is able to maintain a certain level of focus even though flames and smoke threaten to consume him alive. In your life, you...

Read MoreWhat is the difference between someone who is a champion and someone who is the runner-up? What makes someone able to look an impossible situation in the face and willingly conquer it? It’s the same thing that Super Bowl MVP’s, successful CEO’s, and leaders of all types posses. It is something that you should posses! It may be the one factor that determines whether your goals are realized or not.

Read MoreIf you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced. ~Vincent Van Gogh It really doesn’t matter how successful you are or have been in the past, everybody has had to deal with “The Voice”.
