I’ve never seen an ad for Southern California. All I’ve ever heard is from people who’ve visited there. They talk incessantly about the beauty of the mountains and ocean, how everyone has a tan, how the weather is always cooperative, and how people seem more laid back. They don’t talk [...]

I am imperfect like everyone else. So perhaps, I think that this makes what I have to say more valid. As imperfect people, we yearn for our lives to revolve around something greater than ourselves. Preferably something perfect.
Fact: We will center our lives around something or someone. [...]

Celebrities are famous because we make them famous!
No one becomes famous without our culture choosing to give them attention. Whether we collectively choose to give them attention or not can make or break someone’s fame. Our curiosity and urge to live vicariously creates fame in people that have no real purpose [...]

I suppose there are two ways to look at things: the short term and long term.
Would Billy Graham be as respected over the long term as he is if he had loads of controversy in his life? Probably not. In the short term he may have gotten more attention, as a flash [...]

One of the reason’s I read Bill Seaver’s MicroExplosion Media is that he seems to always bring substance. He shares that people are looking for valuable content in a blog, in a conversation, in their world. Simplicity and valuable content trump style and flashiness any day.
In a wordy, over-hyped, [...]

If we are to achieve excellence, we must be willing to give up what we have for something better. This is all great in theory, but we have a horrible track record on this. We love to let our reputation, built in the past, get us by for the future.

My wife woke me this morning because our dog, Sippi, was barking (or coughing… hard to determine). She shouted “this is amazing. You’ve gotta see this.” I thought it was snow. Oh, the surprise good snow in years! I am so excited! There must be white, frozen fun [...]
