Ever notice how good it feels to quit? This is because things get hard before they get good in just about anything throughout our lives. So every time we quit, we get a little rush of stress relief that pours over us. The problem is, this keeps us from...

I decided it was time for another Monday morning anthem. Sometimes you just need some music to get your pumped and ready to conquer the world on Monday, so I wrote you a song with today's TK Talk. Don't just write today off like any other day. This doe...

I like to play my best ideas close to the chest until I know there's something substantial to talk about. This isn't because I'm scared someone will steal my idea, it's because I'm scared someone will steal my joy. Don't let your ideas die before they'...

I hated school most of the time. I was just not interested in learning when I was a kid and a teenager. Yet, as an adult, I find the same history to be so fascinating. So here I am on Cinco de Mayo, for the umpteenth time in my life, and I have no idea...

Yeah, we're all a little boring sometimes. I like to sit quietly in the morning with a cup of coffee and think to myself. I like to sit inside and listen to jazz on a rainy day. The truth is, like most people, I have a lot of boring tendencies that I h...

Storytelling and communicating are like kissing cousins. They are so similar in most ways, in different in very few. Ultimately, the secret to great communication is the same as the secret to great story telling. Don't worry about material facts too mu...

Every person has a super power called the power of deduction. When we don't know how to do something, we learn by finding out the things we shouldn't do. It's OK to not be an expert at something right away when learning something new. Everyone started ...

Over the years, the things I believe in have changed a lot. Most of what I believed what neither right nor wrong. It was just what I believed about life, the world, and faith. The things that stick through all seasons of my life are special though. The...

It doesn't take much time before you take something for granted. Anything in life can become common place. That's why from time to time I need to remind myself what life was like without something. Then suddenly I'm erupting with gratitude.

We have a way of depriving ourselves of a good time because we believe we haven't earned it. We decide not to do things we love in life simply because we don't feel like it is a "wise" use of time. I think it's important to remember that we only live o...

It's important to always have something to look forward to in life. Yet, we have a way of letting perfection be the enemy of the good quite often by not planning things to look forward to because we can't have the perfect Caribbean vacation. Don't let ...
