We hope you have an absolutely wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving. It really is a wonderful time of year. So much of the time we live such busy lives that we don’t stop to think how blessed we really are….how much we really have to be thankful for. I know this year has been one of major transition for Tina and me as I have made a permanent move to Alabama, leased the house in Atlanta, and started a whole new business. It’s been quite a ride. As I look back on it, I can see that God has been at work in all of it. And now I have to take some time to just thank God for all he has accomplished for us this year….even all the little things we sometimes forget that are so important in order for the major things to happen. Then I think of so many of the things we take for granted on a daily basis. Lord don’t let us forget the little things of life that take place each and every day that make our lives comfortable, bearable, and even significant. Continue reading

Four Cornerstones of Total Well-being
Four Cornerstones of Total Well-being
I’ve been thinking about this topic for a while now. Getting this right can attract great fortune to your life. The more “well” you are, the better decisions you will make in life. The better decisions you make, the better life you will have for yourself and your family. We must all strive to be healthy in all aspects of our lives. Not anchoring our lives with these four cornerstones of total well-being will create tremendous stress in our lives. Stress is so disruptive. The more stress we remove from our lives, the better we function and the more successful we become. It’s easier said than done, but it is so worth it!
The four cornerstones of total well-being are psychological, physical, financial, and spiritual. When one or more of these is lacking, we cannot achieve total well-being. We just can’t be all we can be, to borrow the Army’s expression. In this blog post, I will address only two of the four cornerstones of total well-being, physical and financial. Get these two right and you will be well on your way to total well-being. Continue reading
The Human Spirit
The Power of the Human Spirit
I was reading my book by Steven Scott, The Richest Man Who Ever Lived, King Solomon’s Secrets to Success, Wealth, and Happiness. He was writing about the right way to offer criticism. Now there’ an interesting subject. How easy is it for us to accept criticism. Even more important, how to offer it the right way. He referenced a verse in Proverbs 18:14. It reads, ” The human spirit can endure a sick body, but who can bear a crushed spirit?” That verse really got me thinking. I thought about my past and when were the lowest points of my life. I can think of a couple times when I thought my spirit was just crushed. I felt as if I was broken….so what comes next I thought. Where do I go from here? What’s the use? Oh I never thought of hurting myself, but checking out for a while crossed my mind. Continue reading
Assets and Liabilities, The Robert Kiyosaki Way
Assets and Liabilities
I will admit that for most of you, this subject is boring. How about this. Wealth and Riches! Is that more exciting? How many of you would like to be rich? Come on Victor, I’m not some greedy person that just lives to be rich some day. Ok….but if someone handed you five million dollars, would you turn it down? If you won the lottery, would you give it all up? I didn’t think so. Look folks, what I’m talking about is true financial prosperity in your life. Not having to worrying about money ever again and living life on your terms. How about that? That’s being rich, isn’t it? Well…understanding assets and liabilities will get you there.
I don’ want you to look at me like the “guru” on this subject. Below is a video from the ultimate guru, Robert Kiyosaki. I will let him tell you about assets and liabilities in his own words. I’ve included a little introduction from yours truly…me. What most people think is an asset really isn’t. You need to understand this concept so you can start putting your financial priorities in order. You need to spend your financial life acquiring assets. Not liabilities (debt). If you don’t, you may end up as a Walmart greeter some day. Continue reading
