Defining success. Some see it only in a very tangible way. Stuff. Things. Bank accounts. Investments. You know…stuff. Nothing wrong with stuff. But is that all it is? I have seen so many who have stuff and are so lost. Or is it the richness of friendships. The human connection. Reaching out and being there […]

The moment you wake up
For some it seems it never happens. They never wake up. They are constantly going through the day asleep or in some odd alternate reality dream. For these there is only worry and fretting and wanting and desiring and a sadness that fills the moments. And each moment seems empty because … because what? They […]
Return of the Knights
Over the last few years a number of dear friends and mentors have passed. I called them the last of the knights. Honor. Decent. Humble. Courageous. Faithful to the cause. Larger than any issue or challenge. Forces of nature. A class above. These days knights are needed more than ever. Yet fools and jesters seem […]
The workout and ageless living
Once again the coaches showed and explained the work out of the day. Once again the “warm up” was what many other gyms would consider a full final workout. But it was merely the warm up. As the sweat dripped down my forehead I looked at the board to study the workout routine. It was […]

The hour is closing in
There is just so much time. There is just so many chances. There is just so many moments to get it right. Think about it. Now how are you going to live. Phoning it in or participating? Reading others stories or living your story. Be passionate. Be noble. Be true. Be your unique self.
Decide…choose
Is it going to matter? When you look back did it matter? Did it make a difference? It. You. Your life story. The choice. The deciding. Sooner or later you look back. When you do decide now to live your future history with purpose It comes down to living outside your singular tale […]
Hour of the Wolf … a reflection
We all think about it sooner or later. It is inevitable. There is no getting around it or away from it. And if you think you can ignore it it will remind you at the hour of the wolf. The time left. The remaining distance. The look in the mirror and the crooked smile that […]
Does the center hold
Throughout our history we have been tested by many negative, dangerous, and challenging moments. At the same time as these challenges have occurred positive, thoughtful, and courageous voices and individuals have come forward. Whether these courageous ones were always there waiting to address the challenge or the times created them it is unclear. It is […]
