For me, excuses pop up quickly when I don't have a system that's conducive to my energy and overall growth. Something that gives me a real reason to do it!

Nevertheless, as an acorn never falls far…

Great day ahead of me at a coaching seminar intensive with my speaking coach Kent Julian and the rest of our mastermind crew. This is exciting stuff as we’re gathered in one room to put help support each other and bring each of our visions to life.

Just a couple weeks ago, I was at Dan Miller’s Write to the Bank event in Tennessee. That was another positive and fulfilling step towards the development…

Who wouldn’t want to grow in their favorite roles in life? Are you truly happy just sitting idle? Are you truly happy with letting the world move forward and you stay right where you are? What if I told you that our past has a gravitational pull? It seeks to pull us back, or as though it were a universal law to naturally draw us back even further in time away from the possibilities of advancement.

Ladies and gentleman, what I’m introducing you to here is the sole resistance…

It’s the economy this… it’s the economy…

When I was in the corporate world we had the hard workers, and the not-so-hard workers. Of course, for the most part you could tell who enjoyed their work, and who did not by the effort and heart they put into it. There was a lot of complaining. Whether you worked hard or not, there was always something wrong with how someone else was…

Well, I may have never really been the sharpest tool in the shed according to any “norm” survey, but I realized a wonderful gift that God gave me. I’ve always had it, but never realized it until I unveiled a fundamental truth about myself in the deepest identity struggles of my life.…

What is your world to you? Does it consist of growing up in a family home, going to church every Sunday, going to school, getting good grades, listening to instructions and following rules, get to college, graduate, get married, get a job, get in debt, have children, teach those children to do the same things you did, retire at 65 (we hope) with tons of debt, and with children who have great…

What we ask for as a gift, God sometimes uses as a reward. -jb

When you pray for peace, does God give you peace, or does He give you the opportunity to learn how to make peace?

When you pray for wisdom, does God give you wisdom, or does He give you the choice to grow into someone who is wise?

What meaning is there to life, if we were to only be allowed to dream but not act on our dreams? Dreams are essential to the growth of our world. If there were no dreams, there would be no one to act on those dreams and create the magnificent structures, nations, monuments, sciences, and technologies of today.…

There is a spirit within all of us that desires to express itself, be free of judgment, and conformity. It is the creative spirit that always seeks the higher plane and level of life. It wants to grow; it wants to be the best it can be. It wants to acquire many riches and resources, so that it can live fully and be a blessing to everyone…

Success is a misconceived word by most. I was considered successful at certain points, but was not always successful to myself. Primarily because at the time, I may have felt I was climbing the wrong ladder. Now, I understand that it was part of the process of my growth and development.…

Einstein said that imagination is more powerful than knowledge.

To take a peek at your true potential, give yourself the gift of solitude. Take a few minutes each day, (it might be 5 minutes, it might be 30, we all have different schedules), and activate the creativity

that is waiting to be used. Allow your thoughts to wander in the

direction God leads them.
