Fire is an interesting element. I’ve been fascinated by it ever since I was a young boy (there are pictures to prove it), and I continue to be fascinated by it today. It has the ability to provide warmth and light, to fuel any number of machines and actions… and it can destroy, if used in the wrong way.
When I talk about fire here and now, I’m talking about the fire within you and I. You know what I’m talking about – the flame that burns deep in the pit of your stomach, that either tells you that you’re doing what you were born to do, or that you’re getting further and further off-track.

I hear people complain all the time about how they don’t have this, or how they wish they had that. What I find interesting is that, when I ask them what they’re doing about it, they usually hum and haw and make up some sort of excuse about why “now’s not a good time for change.”
Well, news flash – there’s never a good time for change. We’re creatures of habit, we hate change by default. But if you want things to be different in your life, you need to do things differently. I saw a great comic the other day; in it, a leader stands on a stage asking an audience, “Who wants change?” Everybody raised their hand.

Change starts with you. And there’s three things you can do to bring it about. (more…)
I was watching a TV show the other day, and on the show the main character was struggling with their job. They wanted to quit, citing a lack of motivation as their main reason. (more…)
