Okay! I broke the cardinal rule of blogging.  I haven’t blogged for over 8 weeks.  I didn’t really disappear from the face of the earth, I disappeared from cyberspace. I  owe you an explanation because you have been so faithful following my blog, So let me bring you up to date.

Live with expectancy instead of expectation that’s the challenge I give in almost every presentation I make.  Smile and the world smiles with you!   Happy face, Happy place.  I write about it!  I challenge other people to live it!    But in a split second I can slip into the same old patterns I so badly want to shed.  

“Are Cyber Friends real friends?“ Last time I explored this subject it became one of the most popular posts I had written. It certainly generated fascinating comments from many perspectives.  Recently, I had a  stimulating conversation with two friends, Jeff Goins and Michael Hyatt.  We were talking about the disadvantages and advantages of social media and the role it plays in personal relationships.

The following post is written from the perspective of one who has not always made the best decisions.  But I am learning.  And I am happy to pass on to other men and women the principles I have learned that help me make good decisions.

I just finished a 15 mile bike ride in winds gusting to over 30 miles an hour. The ride took me an hour and fifteen minutes and included two incredibly steep hills. One of them was so steep that I had to traverse in order to keep from stopping. It was excruciating. Do you know what the hardest part of the ride was? Getting out of bed.  So what is the one action that will change your life forever…..?
