Being Needed

That person you just walked past, he or she needs you. It’s true. You know how I know that? Because we all need others. We don’t always believe it or admit it, but its true. We need other people in a wide variety of ways. They need us in the same wide variety. We need...

Complainers

Did you ever notice that some people are “complainers”? They walk with their head down and if you ask them how it’s going, the reply always begins with a big sigh? Is that you? I sure hope not. Complaining brings you down, and rarely solves anything. Complaining...

Today

What does today mean to you? After today is done, its gone. You’ll never get it back. Sure, you may get another one, but you’ll never get this one back. Coach Wooden said ‘Make every day a masterpiece’. No one else can make your day a...

Be the Sunshine

It’s kinda cloudy here in Michigan today. We’re entering a time when we get a lot of clouds. That creates a bit of a problem for those of us who love to see the sun! But far worse than this is the people who never see a sunny face. Their only exposure to...

I forgive you

That’s can be easy to say. Sometimes hard to do. When someone has hurt us, or even worse, someone we love…well, that’s tough to really forgive. We will remember it for years, and quite often hold a grudge against that person. Your brain will remember...

Hi

Someone you encounter today will be wondering if anyone even knows they are around. Do they matter? Does anyone care? The problem is, you won’t necessarily know who that is….in fact, it is doubtful you will. So….how do you reach them? Here’s...

Learn something new!

I love learning. There is so much cool stuff out there, and I want to know about all of it. The bad news is, I’ll never be done learning. The good news is, there’s always something new worth learning! Everyone has things they want to learn, even if...
