The Art of Selfishness
Mature selfishness is the cornerstone of
effectively living with passion and purpose. A commitment to
self-interest is practical and efficient since you are better
able to meet your needs than hope that someone else does. It is
the basis for the laws of natural selection and “survival of the
fittest." Unfortunately, society has given mature selfishness a
bad ...
The Art of Forgiveness
Forgiveness is
a critical element in becoming self-actualized and fully
loving. Forgiving is the process by which you let go of feeling
victimized or having wronged others. It allows you to climb out
of the dark well of anger...
My Journey
Your mission
statement is a living, breathing testimony of the life you are
committed to living. It is also a way to pull yourself back from
the darkness when you are feeling lost in the minutiae of ...
Tim's Terrible Ten
I’ve been reading a lot the past several weeks to
assist me in writing my next book. I’ve seen some good stuff,
some bad stuff, and some stuff that’s too destructive to ignore.
I thought I would act like the four-year-old little boy that
lurks inside me and generate a list of 10 “pet peeves” from the
fields of self-help, psychology, business, and life. I hope some
of these resonate with you, and that you will be encouraged to
create your own list of pet peeves. It’s healthy when you can
identify what annoys you and ...
Passion or Purpose?
I hate
moderation. I hate doing things moderately. I hate having to be
controlled, mature, and disciplined. I don’t want to moderate
how much I eat or drink. I don’t want to be moderate with sex,
or playing, or vacations. I don’t want to moderate what I say
for fear it will ...
The Art of Falling
I just fell.
Literally. I was carrying oatmeal to my daughter. I started to
go up the stairs, somehow didn’t make the first step, went over
the side and landed on the hardwood floor. I was shocked and
confused. I sat up on my knees for a minute to catch my breath.
Oh my God; it hurts! I don’t know if I’m OK. I feel scared and
weirdly sad; I stifle the urge to cry; I’m 46—where ...
The Art of Learning
My temples begin to throb and I can feel the panic rising in my throat, as I sit in the classroom. The minutes tick by and I still don't know what he's talking about. I look around the class and everyone else seems calm. It's just me. I rifle through my scribbled notes, race through sections of his handout, and burn holes through the diagram in the book. No help; I'm getting more lost and
desperate. Heart pounding, my
thoughts go NASCAR. I ...
Iraq and The Code of Honor
Death is not a
tragedy. A wasted life is. Don’t get me wrong. Life has value
all by itself. This isn’t about abortion, capital punishment,
stem cell research, or vegetarianism. From single cell bacteria
to your own children, life has value. It means something. It
wants to keep on living. It gets one chance to participate in
the circle; one chance to shout at the moon and echo ...
The Quest
The holidays are a time for
reflection on the past year and for planning the next. I hope
the challenges you faced so courageously this year become the
foundation for optimism and hope next year. This
year, I outlined the trilogy that will further explore
Stepping Stones: 10 Steps to Seizing
Passion and Purpose. Like Stepping Stones, each book
combines poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The poem, The Quest,
will kick off the trilogy and I am honored to be able to share
it with you this holiday season. I thought you could use a
light, pick me up after ...
