Gate #60 – Part 3

I climbed the famed "Goat Trail" to a high plateau.  I knew they must be coming soon. Suddenly a red helicopter dove down in front of me.  Fortunately, I was in a place where I could get off the course.  I pulled over and looked back.  There was violence and…


Gate #60 – part 2

I bobbed through the boulders and whoops.  Very steep hill climbs were near and my self-talk was that I would eat them for breakfast.  6:45 am and you're on a dirtbike in Baja California Mexico unleashing 50 horsepower on a silty rutted hill strewn with boulders...what could be better? I…


Gate #60

On September 14 I raced the third race of six that I had planned this year.  It's a very big race year for me, but I thought I should do it while I am relatively healthy and able. This race was the Baja 400 in Mexico.  I entered on a…


Keep your goals in front of you

At the beginning of this year I wrote all my goals for the year down on one index card.  I have personal goals, business goals, family goals - all of them. I have that index card on a little stand at my desk where I see it everyday.  When I…


There's nothing wrong with being wrong

"If anyone can prove and show me that I think and act in error, I will gladly change it - for I seek truth, by which no one has ever been harmed.  The one who is harmed is the one who abides in deceit and ignorance." - Marcus Aurelius If…


The "Tough Crowd"

"Don't join an easy crowd.  You won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform are high." - Jim Rohn Do the people you have around with have high expectations of you? Does conforming to them mean you have to up your game?


Clear Mental Pictures

Your mind can't act on fuzzy mental pictures. A person can accomplish anything so long as they can see very clear mental pictures of themselves doing it first. Take the time to establish a clear mental picture of what you see yourself doing, being or having. Get very clear.  See…


Race Report!

For those that don't know - I race.  Desert racing to be exact.  Long distances.  Two wheels sometimes, and four wheels sometimes.  It gives me a reason to stay in shape, something to look forward to, and teaches me mental and physical toughness that makes the rest of life easy.…


Want to look ten years younger and feel good now?

Want to look ten years younger in an instant? Smile. AND, when you smile at people, they smile back at you...which makes you want to smile. AND, when you smile it uses many muscles in your face to do so.  When those muscles are activated like that it sends a…


Habits of a champion!

"Live a champion's lifestyle.  Live champion habits." - Mike Tyson If someone else accomplished that big goal that you have, what would their habits be? What are yours? You have to have the habits of a winner to be a winner. What habits do you need to get rid of?…


From the inner – the outer

"Be the champion in your mind first before you can be the champion in real life." - Mike Tyson From the inner - the outer.  In that order, always. The world gives you what you deserve. You have to be the person that gets the results before you get the…


This is about YOU

The better you get, the better "IT" is.  Your life getting better is not about anything but you getting better. It's not about the economy, the company, your friends, or outside events. It's not about your boss, the weather, interest rates, the election or prices. It's about you. Once you…


Make NEW Mistakes

People who make the same mistakes over and over again are not learning.  They are not willing to see that they are the cause and make adjustments. The world will keep throwing the same problems/issues/crises at you until you learn to be better. Once you learn and stop making mistakes…


Your body is talking. Are you listening?

You eat a big meal and you feel stuffed and tired - what does that tell you (me)? You eat sugar and feel better for a few minutes and then you crash - what does that tell you? You do something and it hurts - what does that tell you?…


Can I get a witness?

"Witness" what is happening in your life. Rise above yourself and look down and see what is going on. Where are you? Who is around you? Who are you being? What are your habits? How do you respond to events and the actions of others? How are you thinking and…


Reasoning Thought

It has been said so many ways - before action comes thought. "Everything around us that supports our standard of living and survival is a result of man's capacity for reasoning thought and subsequent action." - Ayn Rand If someone is having trouble, it's a thinking problem. Develop your ability…


Faith

Many people won't take a step if they can't see the whole staircase.   But the reality is that great destinations don't lie at the top of short staircases where you can see the whole journey before you start. You can see the next step - take it.


Event + Response = Outcome

Events happen - to everybody.  Good events, bad events. God knows I have had "events" in my life.  Really great ones.  Really bad ones. When I watched my dream house with 50-foot flames reaching up to the sky - yea that was a good one.  It's the response to events…


We are not all the same.

I am a people watcher.  I find it fascinating. I was on a flight recently (coming back from my Vegas to Reno race)  and a very large man sits next to me.  He turns on football on his phone with headphones then falls asleep.  Then wakes up to have two…


Do your habits support your dreams?

Your habits, repeated over and over, will take you somewhere.  The question is where? Will your habits take you where you want to go?   If your habits are not in alignment with your dreams, you can either lower your dreams, or elevate your habits. Which is it for you?  …
