ShareClarity “Sometimes, it’s a good idea to figure out what you don’t want and work back from there.” Clarity is often a hard thing to find. We know we want a great life but what, exactly, does that mean? We know we want to be successful but we don’t always know what that success might [...]

ShareA Newbie at Me-Dot-Com Hi Guys. Today I want to introduce you to one of my good friends. His name is Bobby Cappuccio, he’s a writer, speaker and fitness industry guru but more than any of that, he’s a genuinely good guy who is committed to helping people explore and fulfill their potential. Over my [...]
ShareWe All Want it but What is it? Like most things, success is personal. It means different things to different people. My major achievement (running five miles, perhaps) might be a barely-noticeable part of your daily routine. For some people, a new job that provides them with a hundred thousand dollars each year would be [...]
ShareA Little Fun and a Little Serious Today I’m wearing my fitness-industry, gym-owner, personal-trainer, exercise-scientist and career-advisor hat. And my baggy-arse army shorts, a flannel shirt and some Tiger Balm. The following advice is a little bit tongue-in-cheek, a little bit oh-my-God-do-people-really-do-that? and a little bit constructive advice (from twenty-eight years of industry experience). This [...]
ShareWhat Matters? A close friend of mine has an elderly father who is on the home stretch of his time down here on the big blue ball. And while I don’t know him well, he’s been on my mind lately. I worry about him and his family. For the last few days, I’ve wondered what [...]
ShareReality-Shaping Questions If we’re serious about changing our reality then we must be serious about asking the best reality-shaping questions. Better questions produce a better mindset, decisions, actions, reactions and overall, better results. Asking ourselves intelligent, relevant and courageous questions puts us in a more creative, positive and solution-focused head space. Of course, some people [...]
ShareThe Rush of Humanity It often occurs to me that, in the middle of all our energy-saving, time-saving technology and breakthroughs, in some ways, we’re no better off. Of course, life is easier on a practical level but I wonder if easier necessarily equates to better? And I wonder if easier necessarily equates to happier? [...]
ShareScale Addicts Over the years, I’ve dealt with my fair share of weigh-a-holics. That is, people who step on the scales far too often. Some do it every day of their lives. Morning and night. Some step on and off five times in ten seconds in the hope that a lower figure might magically appear [...]
ShareThe other day I wrote about the idea of Hitting the Pause Button. That is, taking some time and energy (a little or a lot) to step back from our lives, or part(s) thereof, in order to evaluate where we’re at – practically, emotionally, physically, professionally, academically, mentally, financially, spiritually… and so on. To find [...]
ShareSharing a Message Somewhere on my job description is says that, among other things, I mentor some up-and-coming speakers and writers. They are mostly people who feel that they have some kind of motivational and/or educational message to share with the world. Some of them are young and some are slightly more experienced. Either way, [...]
