Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through social media, seeing someone else’s highlight reel, and suddenly feeling like your own life is falling short? It happens to the best of us. In a world where people broadcast their best moments—filtered, curated, and polished—it’s easy to get sucked into the comparison trap. But here’s the problem: comparison never leads to fulfillment.
Kindness isn’t just a thought—it’s an action. That’s why we call them acts of kindness. And in a world that can sometimes feel dark or heavy, those small, intentional moments of kindness can be the light someone desperately needs. Recently, I was reminded of this in the most touching way.
Where are you sitting in life? Are you up front, engaged, and excited? Or are you stuck in general admission, comfortable but unchallenged? Worse yet, have you slipped into the balcony, disengaged and watching life from a distance?
This week, I was struggling to come up with a theme for my Front-Row Friday message. Nothing was clicking, so I did what I always do when I need clarity—I asked myself a simple question:
Do you have an event coming up that you’re feeling nervous about? Maybe it’s a presentation, a networking opportunity, or a major life milestone. If so, you’re not alone. Nerves often come when something truly matters to us. Today, I want to share some ideas to help you shift your mindset and approach your event with confidence and positivity.
Have you ever walked into a conference, a boardroom, or even a social event and felt like everyone already knew each other? The groups seem set, the connections already made, and you’re left standing on the outside looking in.
Did you know the average American only reads about four books a year? With resources like audiobooks and e-readers at our fingertips, why aren’t we reading more? This thought hit home for me when something extraordinary happened during Sunday night’s NFL playoff game.
We’ve all heard the phrase, “Ask and you shall receive.” But when was the last time you really examined what you’re asking for? Maybe it’s time to revisit those asks because, just maybe, you’re not dreaming big enough. Perhaps you’re not asking for what you truly want.
Have you ever found yourself on the receiving end of an insult and been at a complete loss for words? It’s a frustrating and often emotionally charged experience that can escalate conflict if not handled well.
Don’t you just love the feeling of a fresh start? There’s something magical about the beginning of a new year—a blank canvas where you can create whatever you want. It’s 2025, and you have the power to make this year as incredible as you can dream.
