I know a 12-year-old boy who can tell you the batting averages of every professional baseball players, but can’t recite the names of the 4 types of clouds that move across the sky.

Because he thoroughly enjoys baseball – virtually living, eating, and sleeping it – his constant involvement and immersion in the sport have led him to know a lot about it.

But he isn’t interested in clouds, so he’s never made an effort to learn about them. Regardless of how well his teachers have taught him, the concept just doesn’t hold any interest for him.

I hold the theory that people are like Thoroughbred horses in that they are of great value and capable of great speed.

On the other hand, they are often constrained by an invisible rope of their own creation.

This invisible rope limits how far and how fast you can run. The rope is whatever wrong, limiting self-paradigm that you may hold deep inside – made by poor choices that affect your decisions and
activities.

Until that rope is cut by a new decision, you are unable to run the race of life unfettered.

To achieve your Core Desires, whether they are earning more money, enjoying more intimacy, or having more joy in your life, you need to grow, become more, learn, and change.

Did you know that how fast you grow is within your control?

I usually try to help people think big.

THIS IS DIFFERENT!

In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I’d like to share a story about my relationship with my beautiful wife, Marci.

My wife loves poetry, and for years I did not. In the early years of our marriage she tried to share her love for poetry with me, but I told her I just wasn’t interested.

I wasn’t ever very sensitive or considerate about it either.

A VP of a large insurance company once came to me and asked for my help.

He was earning more than enough money, but he wasn’t happy in his job. He had been at it for 22 years and had just grown tired of it.

When I asked him what he would like to do instead, he replied, without emotion, “I’ve been looking at real estate and investments because I know people who have succeeded in those areas.”
