Those Economists Are Just Funnin' With Us

Know what's funny? Economic forecasts. Bwa-ha-ha! It's predictable humor, sure, but it never fails to break us up. Am I right? Every single month, "the numbers" come out on some aspect of the economy, such as unemployment. And every single month, the news report is that, no matter how many jobs were "saved or created" in the past month, it was a far smaller number than predicted by economists. HA-ha-ha....

Inspiration And Revenge Do Not Mix

One of the things I dread about election season (which seems never-ending, anymore) is the negativity that seems to pervade it. It's been a long time since a candidate truly inspired people in America... in my opinion, you have to go back to Ronald Reagan's "Morning In America" campaigns to find any true inspiration. And I think it's because today's candidates try to use the wrong tools to inspire....

A Declaration About America's Founding

The Fourth of July is a holiday to celebrate the founding of America. And while it marks the day our Declaration of Independence was ceremoniously signed and published, I have concluded that America was not, in fact, founded on July 4, 1776. That's the day our government was founded, as a natural next step in the long and ongoing journey of our nation's founding....

The Conscience Of A Restorationist, XIX

The U.S. Supreme Court perpetrated an unbelievable assault on the nation's Constitution last week, first by leaving Arizona defenseless against foreign drug gangs, and then by leaving the rest of us defenseless against the horrors of government medicine. The president has baldly pronounced that he will enforce some of the nation's laws, and decline to enforce those he doesn't like. Congress is toothless. But today's top news story? Tom Cruise's latest marital developments....

Only You Are Responsible For Yourself, III

If it is to be, it is up to you. Time to snap out of your trance, look around, and see who's trying to offer you "protection." Start a business. Go back to school. Check the sources of people who try to sell you ideas. Question authority. Read. Watch. Pray. Withdraw the spirit of false protection from your thoughts and dreams, like poison from a wound....

Barry So Loved The World, They Worshipped Him!

Legend has it, little Barry's mom told him, "Barry, when you grow up, you need to be like Jesus!" "You mean, spread the gospel of God's love, teach humility and duty, and sacrifice myself for the good of all mankind?" he asked. "No, Dummy," said his mom, who didn't believe in all that religious mumbo-jumbo. "I mean, get the whole world to worship you!" She was all like, there could be big money in it, so Barry decided to check out this Jesus guy....

Use Your Vacation To Build Inspiration

It's vacation season! Most people would say their vacation is their big annual chance to get away from it all. And it is. A chance to get away from all the daily cares of the world and the grind of work. But I say your vacation is really a chance to get back to it all. An opportunity to get back, in your mind and heart, to the most important things. Your mission. Your inspiration. The "why" behind the things you do the rest of the year....

The Conscience Of A Restorationist, XVIII

We're working hard to restore America. It starts by opposing the statists within the institutions of influence where they enjoy such widespread control. Restoration projects are underway in government, business, media, entertainment... almost any institution of influence you can name. In addition, though, one thing in great need of restoration in America is the right kind of incentive....

Only You Are Responsible For Yourself, II

I've talked to too many people these days who are near despair. A client called me in tears over the weekend. She's been a star in her company, rising fast, never shrinking from a challenge, always ready to demonstrate inspirational leadership at any opportunity. But in spite of her superb efforts, things are tough for her now. So tough, she's close to the end of her rope. As we talked, she kept repeating that she felt she was out of options....

It's The Stupid Economy!

I'm really sick of all these right-wingers talking about the economy. Aren't you? I mean, when Bill Clinton was running for president, he was all like, "It's the economy, Stupid." That was his subtle, easy-going way of suggesting his opponent, George H.W. Bush, had perhaps failed to sufficiently focus on domestic issues. But that was SO twenty years ago....
