The Heart of Why

The Heart of Why

At the heart of why. Why does anyone do what they do? What motivates us? What ignites the drive to strive to be better than we already are? To put in the precious time, honest effort, the mental/emotional struggle, the humbling work? It would be nice to think it comes from “doing what’s best”. When… Continue Reading

Old Is A Choice

Old Is A Choice

As my Coach, Scott Sonnon, is fond of saying, you can’t stop the aging process, but you can stop from getting old. I’ve also always felt the same, very strongly, as I’m sure many of us do. We can allow ourselves to get old. Or…. Hoppipolla Dare to Evolve, Shane. Continue Reading

The Goal

The Goal

In follow up to the last post, regarding undergoing a physical transformation, the goal is to gain weight (no, this won’t be a burger binge ya’ll, health is still the number one priority here). I’ve never been a fan of “gaining mass”. Never interested. Actually, it makes me angry. For those who are into “bodybuilding”,… Continue Reading

Transformer, More Than Meets the Eye!

Transformer, More Than Meets the Eye!

What is truly involved with a physical transformation? To be absolutely honest….I don’t know. I’ve never had to undergo one. Moving through the process of an emotional transformation? Been there.

The first is with a specific vision in mind and forging ahead in a deliberate manner to bring… Continue Reading

Secret Behind the Self-Made Superstar

Secret Behind the Self-Made Superstar

Whether on Prime-time, a major hitter in your company or the top requested server at your local restaurant, there are superstars everywhere.  And they all grab our attention, because they are examples of those who have succeeded in their given vocation.  Along with the admiration (and envy),  there is often the notion that they arrived… Continue Reading

Humble Before the Giant

Humble Before the Giant

For those of you who have been following along over at Gym Jane, you know that, about once a year, I have a new theme that I focus on, an all encompassing vision. These “theme’s” are not preemptive or intellectually derived. It takes on it’s new shape in it’s own good time and then slaps… Continue Reading
