My son just turned six years old earlier this week. He loves video games. They are his passion. We have to limit his time or he would do nothing but play them. He knows how to play the games. In some cases, better than I do, and I have been playing video games for thirty …

When the Excitement Fades
A new project is so exciting. All the possibility lies in front of us. We haven’t started the grind yet. We haven’t started to hard work to make the vision a reality. Everything is exciting. Then we can have a moment, day, week, month or year where you get into a self-doubt funk? Do you …
Be Crazy – Be a Fanatic
Dragons, you know what people really, really love? When you love them. When you cheer them on in their endeavors. Think about it for a minute. Don’t you love it when someone appreciates you & your work? Not just simple lip service, but honest to goodness, I care about you, appreciation. Love. We all do. …
The Hate that Drives You
It’s interesting how we are driven or defined by our enemies. A little more than a decade ago I heard this concept from a manager. I found the concept very thought provoking. As someone who was still reeling from the damage done by a very broken heart, I didn’t really care for the truth of …

Time for Discipline
Life is busy these days. We all know it. All of us live it. You would be hard pressed to get anyone to even argue the point, really. People have worked hard, long hours since the beginning of time, however, today is filled with more activities to keep up with on a consistent basis. Everyone …
New Experiences
Sometimes it’s tough to do anything other than the usual. We get so used to surviving life we are pretty beat up by the time we can spare a moment to rest. Why would we want to try something new or different? Life is a full contact sport. Attempting new challenges & experiences can be …
Pushing Through
You ever get to that point where you wonder why you are working on a project at all? You pour time, effort, energy & soul into something & it just doesn’t work the way you wanted or expected it to work. You have, in your perspective, a big steaming pile of mediocrity which was intended …
