"There is but one impossibility in my life. That is the possibility that I could not bounce back from any given failure." – J. E.
Still feeling the same way. You?
I think we are … I think that what scares a lot of people is that President Trump may appear to have little experience being a president. Oh, the irony, no president ever did have experience going into that gig. Political experience, maybe, but that is vastly different than actually getting to the point where you know you will get something accomplished when you are on the other side of the campaigning, when you are on the other side of the election in general and sitting in The Oval Office.
Most if not all politicians have made promises, broken promises. They did not know what it would take to actually steer this ship. Their intentions were good but they lacked the experience that now President Donald J. Trump has exhibited in so many other areas that it surprises me that anyone would doubt that those proven strategies he used in…

Well it’s been a couple of years now since I penned ‘You asked me why’. I am playing around with some new ideas and looking forward to getting something fresh posted to http://pen-den.com. I launched a new Facebook page that I will use in conjunction with my site as well to grow my audience.
Thank you!

One can definitely go into a deep state of introspection while driving.
Yesterday I logged right at 679 miles on a business trip down I-35 to San Antonio and then on to surprise my sister while she was working at a restaurant in the quiet little town of Roosevelt. From there I-10 to US377 back home to Fort Worth. 12 hours on the road…
What do these clouds say to you? As I drove toward this magnificent masterpiece in the sky it made me think of all of the different phases [or layers] that we go through in this life. Do the clouds say something different to you? I would love to hear your thoughts. Please post your thoughts in the comments.

There is no alternative. From take-off until that airplane finds its place to land and even then in landing it has to maintain its momentum. Our lives are actually quite similar to the way an airplane gets up and off the ground and then back down to earth. The engines provide the thrust (our motivations) that move it forward on the runway thus giving the wings the ability to lift (our actions) this monster of a machine into the sky.
Momentum is a powerful force. A Boeing 747’s take-off speed is 180 mph and can safely leave the ground with only 9/10’s of a mile worth of runway. We can’t move that fast in our lives so we slowly build up the momentum necessary to move us forward to where we want to end up. Each step gets us one step closer to ‘that place’. Sometimes we think that we take a step forward then two or even three steps backwards making it more difficult but in my opinion all of these steps (and missteps) are necessary.
Each facit of our lives deserves the same amount of Kaizen.
Stepping forward is not optional. Unless you’re sitting still, too many do that. Help me help you isn’t just some cliché, it’s how we all move forward. The things of one’s doing in the past gave you the ability to do today. So step forward my friend. I’m listening too, I promise.
