“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill Giving back to society is important because it is the right thing to do and it gives your money a purpose. The hole that you give through will determine the size of the hole you receive through. Giving of your time and money is also crucial to your ongoing financial abundance. One way to give is to tithe, donating a percentage of your income to your favorite causes. You can also stimulate creativity … [Read more...] about Using Your Money to Make a Difference

Journey To Personal Power
When you hear the words “Personal Empowerment,” what’s the first thing that pops into your mind? What images does it conjure up? What words do you hear? And what emotions does it stir? Years ago, I found myself thinking about it and wondered how I could begin to master this thing called personal power. Then, out of nowhere, a patient of mine presented me with a gift of three books. These books changed my life and set me on a path of not only unparalleled personal growth for my wife, Kathi, … [Read more...] about Journey To Personal Power

The IDC Mindset
Social conditioning has brought us to an age where everything must be instant. Whether its food, pain relief, text messaging, surfing the internet, or playing video games. Our world is ruled by quotes like “You only live once” and “Live everyday as if it was your last.” While these quotes are very true I would like to amend the latter to say, “Live everyday as if it was your last, but with a vision of the future.” In talking to younger generations, the most common theme is instant … [Read more...] about The IDC Mindset
Be The Change, Change The Being
In the late summer of 2017, I began to take notice of several people who seemed to be a family hanging out at the exit that I bypassed to and from work daily. It’s very common to see people at this particular corner asking for a handout, and I shy away from making eye contact, acting distracted, so that I don’t have to feel bad telling them no, again. One day, Dad was with two boys selling water out of a cooler. The next day, Mom and two different boys were sitting in the dirt, playing with … [Read more...] about Be The Change, Change The Being
The Movie of YOU
If you watched yourself like you were watching a movie of you, would you like what you were watching? Would you keep the movie exactly as it is or would you want to edit it like crazy? Are you watching a portion of the movie repeat itself over and over again like a merry-go-round moving in circles or is it evolving and growing in the direction and at the speed that you would like? Do you need to make some changes? This is a common conversation that we have with individuals who say they … [Read more...] about The Movie of YOU
What’s Your Number?
Some people are excited about living to 100. Some are freaked out by the thought. Regardless of your opinion or feelings, it is important to realize that you may not have a choice in the matter as 100 year old people are one of the world’s fastest growing groups! Accidental Centenarians We look at this older generation and think to ourselves, "I don't want to be like that". We have a skewed view of aging and longevity because this current generation has outlived their scientifically … [Read more...] about What’s Your Number?
Innate Life Expectancy
Your innate life expectancy is greater than you think. We see this longevity potential through the 100-year-old people who are celebrating birthdays, doing yoga, setting running records and skydiving. You can also look around your neighborhood and notice the number of nursing homes, assisted living and Alzheimer's care centers that are popping up. Consider these statistics: The Pew Research Center predicts that the number of 100 year old people will increase by 800 percent between now … [Read more...] about Innate Life Expectancy
Success Tips From A True Champion
I was never a great basketball player, but I seemed to have a knack for teaching and have always been able to steadily improve that ability. Being in the classroom with 30 young minds is a tremendous experience for me. One of the sayings I have is “You can con a con and you can fool a fool, but you can never kid a kid.” Don’t even try because they’ll catch you and you may never be able to regain their trust, which is essential if you’re going to be a coach, a teacher, or any kind of a … [Read more...] about Success Tips From A True Champion
Difficulties Lead To Positive Change
Does “desirable difficulties” seem like an impossible combination to you? Is it an oxymoron — words that combine contradictory terms? We recognize an oxymoron in terms like: living dead, organized mess, alone in a crowd, jumbo shrimp, hot ice, cruel kindness, plastic glasses, pretty ugly, a just war, or a real phony. You get the idea. But what about “desirable difficulties”? One of the greatest insights in the last 20 years regarding learning has been psychologist Robert Bjork’s concept of … [Read more...] about Difficulties Lead To Positive Change
