I posted an audio message today through utterz.com so we’ll see if it works. If not, this should hold you over…

Today I have a double-header: I’m giving a talk at the Special Olympics Coaches University on Sports Psychology and then I will be the MC for Rider’s Leadership Challenge Day.

Here are a couple quotes on leadership…

“The ultimate responsibility of a leader is to facilitate other people’s development as well as his own.”
-Fred Pryor

“To be a leader means willingness to risk-and a willingness to love. Has the leader given you something from the heart?”
-Hubert H. Humphrey

As I said in yesterday’s blog, this blog and these messages are for YOU so let me know what you need. I only received one request yesterday. ONE. Now I know nobody out there is perfect, so why did only one person email me? That’s part of what is wrong with society…there are so many great resources out there, but nobody uses them. If you don’t want to post a comment, you can send me an email.

So the email I got was from a student in California. She went from working full-time and going to school part-time to going to school full-time and working part-time. The concern is that she used to have all this money to spend and now not so much.

I think wealth on the outside is nothing without wealth on the inside. I know many rich people who have mansions and 12 cars but are miserable. They want this and they want that…what they should be doing is appreciating this and appreciating that. See, everyone is chasing money and material objects, but the problem is, once they get it, they want more. So what’s happening is that they are constantly chasing happiness. But it’s already inside them. Teachers of Zen say that mastery is talking to someone when you are talking to someone and playing tennis when you are playing tennis. So become a master of your own life and a master of your destiny…stay in the present, have fun, kick butt in school then the money will come cascading towards you. Don’t forget to contribute to others.

“It’s not your landscape, it’s your mindscape.”

Today’s message is especially dedicated to ALL of my readers.

This will unfortunately be my last blog entry. Two hundred and forty-six messages is a lot and I’m proud of that, but it’s a major commitment. I really enjoyed my mornings trying to inspire and motivate all of you to become better, but I will not be able to do it any longer.

I hope some of you have gotten something out of this and quite possibly some of these stories, quotes and videos will stay in your mind for a long time. I wish you all the best.

This isn’t easy for me to just stop doing something that has been part of me for so long and I don’t want to make it any harder than it is, so I will leave you with these final words…


Happy April Fool’s Day.

Thanks for reading…see you tomorrow.

THE HARDER YOU WORK, THE BETTER YOU DO.

THE BETTER YOU DO, THE BETTER YOU FEEL.

THE BETTER YOU FEEL, THE MORE YOU LIKE IT.

THE MORE YOU LIKE IT, THE HARDER YOU WORK.

Thanks for reading.

“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”

-Muhammad Ali
