If you allow yourself to have low standards you lower your ceiling. Expect the best of and for yourself. Don't settle for lower than what you're capable of.

You Can't Predict The Future

By Luke James - January 16, 2020

The future is nearly impossible to predict. We can make some good educated guesses though. Sometimes we will be right and sometimes we will be wrong. I've seen people destined for greatness fall short. I've seen people destined for nowhere good shock everyone and do great things. I've seen redemption, I've seen falls. Truth is truly stranger than fiction. You cannot predict the future. This isn't intended as negativity. It means, never give up on someone. And never give up on something. Believe in the worst case situations. Look to redeem the unredeemable. Don't assume the underdog won't win. Don't write anyone off, ever.

Knowing What You Don't Know

By Luke James - January 02, 2019

What's the value of knowing what you don't know? Not knowing all the information per se, but just being aware of the areas you don't know much about. More like knowing your weaknesses. Cause that could be almost as valuable a tool as knowing your strengths.

You Don't Have To Repeat

By Luke James - March 11, 2019

I'm a parent, and I want to provide the best possible life for my children. I've seen kids come from good and bad parents both, and end up the opposite of their parents. The means you can become good even when you've been taught bad. You can use the bad to learn good. You can also be taught good, but not appreciate it and choose bad. It seems the power is in the individual. It seems our desires eventually make their way out. So if we have an inner desire and it's not a good one, we have to internally shun it. If you feed that desire it will eventually come out. You don't have to repeat the bad you have received in your life. You can desire better and produce better. The good news is, the choice is yours.
