What are some ways you limit yourself? 

My 10-year old decided to eat pudding with his fingers on the way home the other day.  I asked why he decided to eat it without a spoon, & his immediate response was, "I didn't have one."

Funny how much we limit ourselves as adults, isn't it?  I mean...I'm n...

Do you ever consider quitting something but feel like you’d be giving up or cheating in some way?  Or be a quitter?

Maybe you’re 20 minutes into a movie you can’t stand, but you keep watching it.  

Or you’re forcing yourself to finish a book a friend loaned you.

Or you’re months into a work or pe...

When you look back on the life you’ve lived so far, who are some of the people who have had a positive impact? 

Who helped shape the lens you look through today?

Maybe your 5th grade teacher?

Maybe your neighbor in 2nd grade?

Something we don’t often realize until later in life.  Because everyth...

Do you know who you really are?  Who you’re meant to be?

Some days, does it seem like everyone else knows who they are except you?

And other days it seems like monks & the author of Eat, Pray, Love are the only ones who really know?

And unless you figure out a way to get out of the daily grind & ...

At what points in your life have you questioned why you were experiencing what you were experiencing?  

Why is this happening to me?

It’s safe to say we’ve all said these things at some point, haven’t we?

I know I h...

Who surrounds you?

Who do you spend most of your time with?

How much of your life is based upon the opinions or needs of those people?

What are they saying?

“What makes you think you can do that?” or “How exciting!  I know you can do it!”
 

“I just don’t get it.  Why would you feel that way?” or...

Do you ever make a mistake then obsess about how dumb it was?  

You know, like send a text to your mother-in-law that you meant to send to a friend?  

Forget to attach the doc you referenced in an email?  

Check out for groceries & realize you forgot your wallet at home?  How about something more...

Ever feel like everyone else received an instruction manual for life except you?  

Like you missed an email?  Or should have reviewed your junk mail a little closer before recycling?

We’ve been watching The Greatest American Hero with our boys, & it’s fantastic for so many reasons.

One...The main...

Do you ever think, “Man...I wish I could be in junior-high again...”?  

Yeah, me neither.  🙂

Certainly there are certain moments I wouldn’t mind revisiting.  But all the stuff that goes with it?  Nah.  I could do without that.

Last weekend the boys watched a movie that reminded me of this.  Jessi...

Have you ever been in the middle of something & suddenly thought, “Huh.  How long have I been putting up with that?  Has it always been this way?”  

Sometimes it happens when we realize we’ve been tolerating something for a while...perhaps even years, right? 

The other morning I turned on the TV f...

Pretty sure one of the instructors in my kickboxing class is an Avenger.  I haven’t actually seen her in any of the movies, but I’m pretty sure I’d find her if I watched the final Avengers: Endgame fight scene in slow mo.  

She’s pure muscle, & she could kick my ass & the ass of most people.
