Building a Legacy Lifestyle requires complete and ruthless commitment, in every area of your life. Today I want to talk about recognizing whether you are committed or just looking for excuses.

Read MoreBe a Person of Your Word
Who would you have to become to be a person of your word? If you simply became a person of your word your life would radically transform! I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. Who would I have to become to be a man of my word every single day? What would my life…
Read MoreYou Are the Sum of Your Decisions
We can make a decision every single day, every single minute, every single second to change that sum. I recently wrote about making our minds serve us versus allowing it to be the master of us. A big part of that conversation involved making a decision. That’s the topic for this conversation: We are truly…
Read MoreLoneliness Kills: My Thoughts on Veteran’s Day
Having thoughts of being lonely or depressed is not weakness. Not getting help when you do, is. Because loneliness kills. Yesterday was Veterans Day, and as a vet, it is a day I appreciate. But this year, as I was thinking on this day, an issue came to mind that I think has a ton of…

What can you learn from events like the SealFit Kokoro and Ironman?

Stop wasting your time and energy on things you can’t control. Today I want to talk about concentrating on the things that you can control, and how to let go of what you can’t. Keep in mind that I’m not just talking about external events. Obviously, you control your schedule, what you eat, when or…

If you want to master your life, you must first master your mind. I was studying out of the The Black Book, by Garrett J White today, around the topic of letting your mind serve you versus letting it master you. Garrett talks about one of the ways that we can make our mind serve…
Read MoreTreat Others the Way You Want to be Treated With Zero Expectations
Treat others the way you want to be treated because it’s the right thing to do, not because you’re expecting anything in return. You know “the golden rule,” right? Treat others the way you want to be treated. And I believe that is probably one of the most important “rules” for life. But lately, I’ve…
Read MoreStressing About the Future is not the Same as Having a Contingency Plan
Stressing about the future doesn’t serve you when your goal is to live your legacy. I’ve talked in the past about how we can sometimes get caught up in the stories we tell ourselves about the future, and how so often we allow that to control our actions or allow it to get us worked up…
Read MoreDo You Believe the Best of People or Always Assume the Worst?
No one likes a negative attitude, and that’s exactly what you’re putting into your life if all you do is assume the worst. I was recently at a marriage retreat, and one of the topics of conversation was around the gap that exists between the expectations we have of people, and the reality of that…
Read MoreShame Can Keep You From Living Your Legacy
There is no shame in wanting to live a legacy lifestyle. I’ve noticed something recently that I want to talk about today. It’s something that I see with the people I coach, and with friends I talk to, and with the people I come into contact with almost daily. It’s shame. Specifically, shame around wanting…
