In 1945, during a 9-day span, Viktor Frankl started and completed, his most famous book, Man’s Search For Meaning. Read this book, it will change your life. It’s about Viktor Frankl’s experience as a prisoner in the Nazi concentration camps during World War II. It’s incredible. If a MUST read was ever, a MUST, this…
Here are five books I highly recommend for spiritual and personal development. None of them are centered around 1 major religion, but more about spiritual teachings through very entertaining stories, and examples. Enjoy! 1. Siddhartha – by Herman Hesse This is a great book. A short novel about a man’s search to find peace…
Last month in San Francisco, I had the privilege to see the Dalai Lama, and Eckhart Tolle speak. The next weekend, I was in Fort Lauderdale at a Tony Robbins Event. And then visited family for two days, on the West Coast of South Florida. It was a remarkable 10-day span. When I got home,…
The “Coat and Shirt” Approach to Life “If some steals your coat, offer them your shirt, as well.” –Jesus (analyzed by Eckhart Tolle in A New Earth) 2 Lessons came to mind after hearing these words: 1. Non-Attachment – being able to let go. Having no attachment to situations or things. 2. Non-reaction. The coat…
“When the Devil’s advocate is in the room, tell him to go to hell.” – George Lois Why are we extremely productive at times, but at other times lack desire? I go through this in different areas of my life. There are ideas that excite me. There are plans that invigorate me. There are goals…
At times, I’ve been in a rut. Where I’ve just wanted to crawl back into bed. I didn’t want to face the day. Why? At times for me, it was “gap insanity,” which lead to my rut. Have you been in “gap insanity?” “Gap Insanity” is when you are currently are at point A…
When it comes to achieving goals, and growing and developing, many people will ask themselves, why? What’s your why? It’s an important question. And, it is a necessary one. For many people it is the fuel that keeps the pursuit alive. People will ask: Why do I want to succeed? Why am I putting in…
1. Eating Healthy/Juicing vegetables 2. Meditation 3. Working Out 4. Reading 5. Writing 6. Affirmation/Visualization 7. Planning These are my rituals. I don’t do all of these everyday.

“I FEEL THE NEED, THE NEED FOR SPEED!” For Connor, and I, that was the saying of the day. It was cheered about 14 times before we went rave running on the Intracoastal, in Delray Beach Florida. The memory: I remember going on a wave runner for the first time. I was 7 or 8…
It was hyped to be a great debate. Both have developed their craft for many years through study. They were ready for a collision course in philosophy. There is only one problem that will prohibit this debate: Rene Descartes is 363 years older than Eckhart Tolle and will not be able to attend. Alas! But…
“I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan Failure is part of success. Plain and simple. Successful people aren’t afraid to fail. That’s why they do, and that is why they succeed. I heard this quote before and I’m not sure who…
Let the Music Stir Your Heart It’s happened to us all. When we listen to a great song, or there is a powerful really powerful film score to a great movie. We get that chill. You can’t really describe it, but it’s amazing. I love that feeling. Jim Rohn, once said, “Let the lyrics inspire…
I’m not talking about black magic or voodoo rituals. I’m not talking about cult rituals, or ring around the rosy chant rituals around the fire. I’m talking about habits. The habits we do everyday shape our lives. Period. Here’s a great quote to emphasize this point: “The chains of habit are too light to be…
