America, We Stand! The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave!

We as Americans as a whole have lost the vision as to where we are going as a nation!  As one of those Americans, I have no real feeling of clearly defined goals and dreams for our nation that we so desperately need. It saddens me that an American would feel negative towards America but that is where many people stand! I've given 22+ years of my life defending our great Nation next to thousands of freedoms heroes.  These freedoms are now being taken for granted. We forget that this nation was built by the people for the people! I thank God for all the men and women that sacrificed there lives for our freedom! There greatest sacrifice is being disrespected by anyone who puts down all that they fought for! There is no doubt that we are in uncertain times! We can make a difference! What will you do? Will we look back on this time and say "We made it!" or will we say "We saw it coming but did nothing about it." The greatest thing about history is that we must realize that we have a choice not to repeat it! I say just as I did my last 22 years serving this country, "Not on my watch!" Please join me and read, listen and associate with like minded people who are building communities of people that WILL make a difference! We have got to wake up and build a bridge to a better future for our children of a stronger Nation and a great future by living a leading example. Thank you to all that have serve, are serving and will serve!!! God bless America!!! I love that I have the freedom to say that! "Give me liberty or give me death!"

Comfort zone

It's simple! We are either improving daily or declining. Knowing that, if you want success, you must step out of your comfort zone daily! If you have momentum, don't stop! Step on the gas and go faster. Find a mentor and allow him or her to stretch you beyond your current ability! Remember that we have an unlimited ability to grow to greatness! But, you must start and commit to your dream! Then take a step toward your dreams and goals on a daily basis. Wake up chasing your dream as if it is life or death. When you find your passion it's like injecting nitrous in to the engine of a muscle car!

Toughen Up!

What better way to improve everyday than to work on toughening up in the areas of leadership and success. I have been on a new journey in my life and I can look back and see that there have been several very distinct stages to my progress. The one that has been the hardest for me to overcome has been the fear of what others think of me. It got to a point that it was causing me to mentally give myself chest pains. It has taken several books, many audio CDs and some amazing association with like minded people but at the pentacle of this comes Claude Hamilton's new book Toughen Up! Wow! Put all the other books you're currently reading down and pick this one up NOW!!! http://www.life-leadership-home.com/S... This is a high impact easy read from a high impact author Claude Hamilton through his proven experiences in his life! This is a game changer for me that has already impacted my life and will continue to be a huge driver to my success! I desperately needed this book and I know there are so many others that are going to agree! My favorite chapter is strength 7 on Passion! Amazing!!! I think that we can all agree that we are lacking leadership in North America so lets all Toughen Up! and do something about it.

My realization!

A year ago I realized that I was wasting my life away. I was burning time and for what? I was not living on purpose for my TRUE purpose. What did I have to show for what I did on a daily basis? Nothing! I was skating by in my job and vegetating after work in front of the TV. Two years had gone by where I didn't make any new friends and had little to show for the time spent. I was living a life of mediocrity! This is a life that is shared by 95% of the population. I realized this when I was introduced to some new information. The funny thing is a lot of it was not NEW information at all! It has been around for decades but was never given to me. Why? That would be a whole different discussion. I slowly started applying this new information in my life and it started to change my thinking. I saw the opportunity to grow myself on a daily basis and start pulling all the negative weeds that have been growing in my mind for years. I discovered that I had a lot of limiting beliefs that were holding me back! I’m currently working on demolishing these negative belief sky scrapers and rebuilding new positive beliefs sky scraper! Not an easy task! We all have the potential for greatness given to us at conception but we must work daily to develop our SKILLS to realize this greatness inside of us! Will you realize you greatness? What area of your life do you need to start in? Choose and area and start working on it today!
