Super Bowl advertisers paid $7 MILLION dollars for a mere 30 seconds because they were trying to purchase something valuable. Something that's worth millions of dollars to them.

Since the dawn of time, love has been the single greatest inspiration for poetry, music, drama, and art of all forms.

Have you ever considered that your life story is uniquely yours? No one has had, nor will ever have, the exact journey through life that you do. Even "identical" twins do not live identical lives. And just think: the more rare something is, the more valuable it is, which makes each person's story priceless! So why do we often find ourselves wishing…

It's debate season, with the political race upon us. It's not the debate I mind, in fact debates are healthy.

You've heard it said "There's 2 sides to every story" but it's not true. There are way more than 2 sides. The problem is when we form unbending dogmatic opinions on something with only our viewpoint and the viewpoints of those that agree with us. When we do that we miss out on great discovery. After all, there aren't a lot of recipes that work with…

Happy New Year! We just celebrated Christmas—a warm, giving Holiday that we look forward to every year.

Thanksgiving is an amazing Holiday. Unfortunately, many see it as a Holiday to skip over. For some, it's just the Holiday to get the "real" Holiday season started (Christmas Eve, Christmas and New Years). Thanksgiving is the Godfather of The Holidays. Being thankful is not only what makes all the other Holidays so great, it's what makes life great.…

Did you know that you could actually create a Thanksgiving dinner by using nothing but canned food?

Have you ever felt invisible, ignored or invaluable because someone with more fame, clout or title was in the room? It seems that the truth given these days is judged more by the people who give it than by the power or merit of the message itself. If this is you, don't feel bad, this is nothing new. Many great minds in history, including but certai…

When it comes to exploring, many will say "Why would I need to explore? I have everything I need." But as long time Happy Lifer, Cameron Miller said in this episode, "When you're not exploring, you're not finding better options. You're not finding better ways of living." It's so true! There is so much talk of problems these days, but you don't hear…

Life is meant to be lived and life is meant to be loved, but it can seem impossible when life is difficult.

Do you love the life you live? When life gets unbeara…

The opposite of Artificial Intelligence is Natural Stupidity. Being stupid is our choice and no one else's, so why do we choose to be stupid? As children we have an insatiable hunger to know things.
