I Wanted to Be Famous

I Wanted to Be Famous

When I was a kid, I didn’t think my life would be complete until I was famous. I’m not exactly sure why I thought fame was a worthy goal. Perhaps curing cancer, inventing the internet, or even creating a way to have healthy teeth without flossing would have been worthwhile endeavors. Seeking fame for fame’s […]

Happy New Year…uh…Day

It’s that time of year again. Even if you haven’t put away the decorations, I suspect you have spent the past few weeks putting away enough food and drink for the both of us. And I’m right there with you. Now, it’s time to get back to work, back to school, and back to the […]

The Deep Roots of Immediate Gratification

I have a love-hate relationship with my yard. There are few things I love better than the look of a freshly mowed lawn, trimmed bushes and a neatly kept flower bed. But maintaining it is a different story. Mowing my yard is the most rewarding. The grass is long and then an hour later it’s […]

Get Better This Year by Being Practical

Ron’s latest Huffington Post blog: It’s that time of the year again. New resolutions, goals and to-do lists. My life goal is death. I don’t mean that in a morbid sense but in a that’s-where-we’re-all-headed sense. It’s what Stephen Covey meant when he said to “begin with the end in mind.” Ultimately, our life goals […]

The Purpose of The Bucket List

The bucket list was made famous by the movie of the same name. The leading characters played by Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman created a bucket list to do the things they’d always wanted to do before they died. It’s a great concept but the magnitude of the items may overshadow the purpose. Essentially, a […]
