Elevate Your Thinking. Transform Your World.
CHAOS. ISOLATION. UNCERTAINTY. Life as we know it has been upended… And it continues to change. You can’t control what’s happening in the world, but you can control how you respond to it. And how you respond in the coming days, weeks, and months can have a far-reaching, life-altering impact. How do you really want to live? Who do you …
Have you ever heard the expression, “Hindsight is 20/20”? One of the best definitions I found for that expression is the following: “Phrase used to describe the fact that it is easy for one to be knowledgeable about an event after it has happened.” As we have now entered the year 2020, I realize that I have many extremely valuable …
I have found that sometimes the subtle difference in our attitude, which of course can make a major difference in our future, can be as simple as the language we use. The difference in even how you talk to yourself or others. Consciously making a decision to quit saying what you don’t want and to start saying what you do …
Stop. What are you thinking right now? Are your thoughts of Fear or Faith? Of Poverty or Prosperity? Do you think you can, or do you think you can’t?

Years ago I heard Bob Proctor quote Clarence Smithison with these words: “Faith is the ability to see the invisible and believe in the incredible and that is what enables believers to receive what the masses think is impossible”.

On the 13th of January this year, I was high-jacked and put in the trunk of a car by four gun-wielding high-jackers here in Johannesburg, South Africa – for three hours! This was the worst experience imaginable, but strangely enough the longer it went on, the calmer and the calmer I got. You know, in the boot of that car, …
There’s a song called “Thank God for Dirty Dishes” that makes the point that if you’re lucky to have enough food to make dirty dishes, you should be grateful. So instead of grousing about your property taxes, be thankful you own property. When you have to wait in line at the bank or are stuck in traffic, just be grateful …
Yesterday I was talking with a friend who asked my opinion about something he was dealing with. As I shared my thoughts I realized that what I was saying was something that I, also, needed to hear! His situation and mine were different, but the solution was similar. I was surprised and pleased to listen to myself and pay attention …
The best way to teach our children to succeed is to teach them to fail. After all, if getting everything you want on the first try is success, and everything else is failure, we all fail much more often than we succeed. People who learn how to grow from unsuccessful efforts succeed more often and at higher levels because they …
Inspirational author and speaker Stephen Covey once said, “Start with the end in mind.” So whenever a company wants to launch an ethics initiative, we use a simple exercise: “Look at your organization today – its managers, line employees, and customers – and list behaviors and attitudes you’d like to see more of and less of.” We use the same …
