Things that come easy
are often taken for granted – and lost.
That which we earn by the sweat of our brow
and the sharpness of our mind are kept close -
yielding a far richer Life worth much more
than the sacrifices we have made…
Focus on the Prize,
not the price…
Independence Day:
a Declaration of Independence
is nothing unless we continue
to ACT independent
of our government.
The same holds true today
as it did 233 years ago.
If our forefathers could see
what we have done with the
liberty their lives have paid for,
I wonder if those brave revolutionists
would ever have signed the
Declaration of Independence -
knowing that it would be
their death warrant.
You know what’s an interesting thought, is that across the board the US can chalk up the majority of it’s health concerns on a terrible diet.
I’m painting with pretty broad strokes here, and it’s not political (sorry) – but ignorance is not bliss when it comes to preventative health.… —-> Continue…
The biggest key to growing and going
beyond where you are is to realize
that you only know what you know.

are too short to reach the pedals
and he doesn’t have a license yet.
All of a sudden the car stalls
and the engine stops.… —-> Continue…
What are you doing right now
that is more important than changing the World?
That annoying question popped up
for me while I was shaving.
At first I thought it was directed at me -
because at times I find myself caught up
in petty pursuits that have no real
meaning in the big scheme of Life.… —-> Continue…
Last week I’m at the store walking
around an aisle when all of a sudden,
a line from a movie pops in my head;
“I see dead people,
only they don’t know they’re dead.”
(this is my paraphrased version -
I haven’t seen the movie in 7+ years)
To which my mind echoed back this,
and it’s been haunting me ever since:
“I see great people,
only they don’t know they’re great…”
It took me a week to write this piece
