In a world where it is currently hard to determine what is true and what is not, it has become even more important to be individuals that are true to our word. It is also important for us to maintain our own acceptable level of integrity. In everything we do, we are measured on how we follow through on our commitments, how true we are to our given word and how we exemplify ourselves as leaders. At the end of the day, our integrity is everything and we are the ones that… Read More

For a long time I have been trying to figure out how to get my messages from morningswithron.com out to more people. The feedback I have gotten from all of you has motivated me to do more. Yet, some of the fears that I often write about find their way into my own life on occasion and I start to question whether or not I am even doing the right thing. I ask myself if I should just wait for the right opportunity to come my way or do I need to… Read More

How lucky are we that have or had parents and grandparents that have done exactly this for us? Those that have provided that safe haven that gives us a place to escape from the reality and pressure of the world. A place that allows us to travel back in time, relive moments of our childhood and just be one with the world. I think about this every time I go home to my parents. They still live in the house that I grew up in and I often still sleep in the… Read More

If you ever wondered how I figure out what my message for the day is going to be I can tell you that many times it comes from one of you. Something you said, one of your posts, or a message you have sent triggers something inside of me that allows me to share with you on that particular day. This message was no exception. When I look out into the world, I often question what has happened that we have become a society that is far quicker to judge each other… Read More

This weekend I was thinking about just how powerful we are as individuals. As much is it doesn’t feel like it sometimes, we are the ones that are in total control of our life. Two simple words are all that we need to control our destiny, alter our life path and keep us on the track to achieving our goals. Those words are yes, and no. When you think about it, they are the true power to everything. When we say yes, hopefully we have made a commitment, done our analysis and… Read More

As we go through life we are often afforded the opportunity to collect things or moments that contribute to a full and satisfying life. Many people choose things because they believe that is what makes them happy. Others choose to collect moments that create memories that last a life time. At the end of the day which of those do you think make for a happier person? I like gadgets and things as much as the next person. It is funny though the things that I choose to help fulfill my life…. Read More

When I saw this quote, the first thing I thought of was how many times I have felt the need to explain to others my personal journey. However, no matter how hard I tried, they just did not get it. Often I would make alterations to my life course to try and please others, which often resulted in great dissatisfaction on my part. It was only when I realized that I did not need approval from others for my personal journey that I started to live life for myself. So many times… Read More

As we fast approach the third anniversary of the Bring Smiles to Seniors program, I am amazed at what we have been able to accomplish together. With one senior community we started a movement that would span all 50 states and beyond in a very short amount of time. Delivery of 7,719 cards in our first year quickly gave way to 18,810 in our second and 40,515 in our third. This year alone we have delivered almost 7,000 cards and we are only in February. When I started this program I did… Read More

One of life’s true gifts is the ability to serve. Having the opportunity to take care of others and work hard to make their lives a little better than what they are experiencing is something that enhances our own lives. Learning to be able to give back to the community rather than always taking prepares us for a level of leadership in life that is unachievable if we believe that serving is below us. People often think that they have to have a lot of money to give back. How often do… Read More
