Hold On

To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you. Tony Dorsett What motivates you? I’m motivated by a lot of things. My kids, my mama, my past self and my own dreams and goals, and improving the wellbeing for myself an those around me bringsContinue reading “Hold On”

Ocean Ties

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came. John F. Kennedy Any trip I take to the ocean makes me feel refreshed. If I’m there all day, I’m tired but still refreshed.Continue reading “Ocean Ties”

Come All You Weary

I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace. Thomas Paine I feel this deep in my soul. I’d like to create a future where my children (all children) are safe, and loved, and success can find them. I understand that troubleContinue reading “Come All You Weary”

Get Ahead of Past You

The secret of getting ahead is getting started. Mark Twain The hardest part is getting started. New habits, new businesses, new mindsets. They are all frustrating in the beginning. That’s a human trait. Don’t give up when you’re starting something new. Always remember, once you start, you’re already getting ahead of your past self.

Fisherman Blood

The love of family and the admiration of friends is much more important than wealth and privilege. Charles Kuralt I spent all night reading through my ancestry. It was so interesting.

I’m trying to become more intentional about my thinking, whichContinue reading “Thinking Through My Fingers”

Aesop’s Fables

United we stand, divided we fall. Aesop What a great reminder from long before I was even a twinkle in my mother’s eye. I grew up watching Aesop’s fables on VHS. I didn’t realize that Aesop was a slave and storyteller from ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE!! I thought he was actually the man in the video IContinue reading “Aesop’s Fables”

Touch of Madness

There is no great genius without some touch of madness. Aristotle I’m so grateful for the people who’ve loved me through all my stages. I say this because it was during the darkest parts of my life that I began to really focus on my self-study. I know for a fact that I was moreContinue reading “Touch of Madness”

Stoics, Roosevelt, Arelius

If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month. Theodore Roosevelt I’m always writing about how important it is to know yourself but I really like how Theodore Roosevelt put it. I feel like this is the type of funny quote the stoicsContinue reading “Stoics, Roosevelt, Arelius”

Risk?

I heard somewhere that it may seem like some business professionals are out here taking risks, but the truth is these business professionals know their market. They have done their homework. What the outsider should understand is that business professionals who are hungry enough and passionate enough to make an impact take calculated risks. TheyContinue reading “Risk?”
