Did Curiosity Really Kill the Cat?

Curiosity is not allergic to failure. Curiosity drives you to the haunted house because the thrills lie in what we don’t expect, not in what’s safe. – Seth Godin Are you curious? When is the last time you explored something new? When is the last time you read a book about a topic you have […]

Live your life Proactive And Intentional

Proactive and Intentional are two of my favorite words. I often wonder why they are my favorite since I am prone to be anything but proactive and intentional. Proactive, to act or intervene on the front end.   Intentional, done with purpose or reason. I often talk about how fleeting life is. It moves forward […]

Did You Show UP Today?

The older I get the more I realize that time is fleeting. We never know what tomorrow holds or if for us, will it ever come. Much is taught about vision and dreams for the future and I have blogged on it myself. However, if we are not careful, our dreams for the future can […]
