Believe in yourself! Invest in yourself! Don’t sell yourself short or play yourself cheap. I gather inspiration from the stories of many people that have achieved some level of greatness. Sylvester Stallone‘s journey to getting the movie “Rocky” green lit is one such story. Stallone turned down $300,000 (today’s equivalent of $1 Million) for […]

“Most of us live in carefully crafted boxes. Good, bad or indifferent the boxes we live in are comfort zones.

You never know which accomplishment may be your last and it would be a […]
“The only thing about being a “jerk” [or insert word of choice] is you have to be one all the time. Classification is how the human mind makes sense of the world. Colleagues and associates don’t have the time or the desire to gauge our shifts in mood or to understand the reasons for our […]
“Treat yourself how you want others to treat you. No matter what we profess, how we treat ourselves tells others exactly the treatment we expect and believe we deserve from others. Want love? Love yourself. Want respect? Respect yourself. Want consideration? Stop putting yourself last on your priority list. How can we expect others to […]

Thanks Alex for passing this my way. If you need a bit of inspiration to get the vote out and why you can endure long lines at the polls tomorrow, despite the temperatures, watch this video and share it your email, facebook and twitter list. We’ve come too far to drop the ball now.
