Are we afraid to compete?

I see it everyday in sports, some are afraid to compete. College sports has become a perfect example as kids continue to transfer from school to school.  A lot of those transfers come as a result of kids feeling a coach lied to them about playing time or because they...

Expectation vs Reality

You hear it all the time, the outfit I brought doesn't look like it did online.  My favorite is when someone says I bought it because it looked great on them.  I thought it would look great on me. Many time in life our expectation on something doesn't match the...

Time

To me the biggest thing we take for granted is time.  We chase it, we set it and we change it however the one thing we can't do is slow it down.  How often do you hear someone ask, What time is it? We always want more or say there is not enough time in a day.  We...
