Discs include:

Disc 1 - Our Quest for Happiness

Life is choices. Ninety-percent of our happiness and ninety-percent of our misery come from our own choices. Choices create habits, habits create character, and your character is your destiny. If you can learn to master the moment of decision, you will master life. The art of living hinges on that moment when we choose between the-best-version-of-ourselves and some second-rate-version-of-ourselves. Living Every Day with Passion and Purpose is about learning to make great choices in our everyday lives.

Disc 2 - Ten Minutes a Day

Our lives change when our habits change.The difference between the heroes, leaders, legends, champions, and saints, and the rest of the masses marching through history is not freak luck… and God doesn’t have any favorites. The difference is they just had better habits. Men and women of extraordinary achievement fill their days, weeks, and months with habits that help them become the-best-version-of-themselves! Are your habits helping you become the-best-version-of-yourself?

Disc 3 - The Rhythm of Life

What do you want? You want to be happy. What does God want? God wants you to become the-best-version-of-yourself. What do we all want a little more of? Energy. The things that bring you true and lasting happiness: physically, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually, are the same things that help you to become the-best-version-of-yourself… and are also the things that flood your life with energy. The Rhythm of Life is about creating a lifestyle that generates more energy. If you had more energy, would you be able to fulfill more of your dreams? How many of the problems in your relationships are created because you simply don’t have enough energy? We don’t need more time. We need more energy!

Disc 4 - What Holds Us Back?

What stops most people from becoming the-best-version-of-themselves? It isn’t lack of time, money, education, contacts, or opportunities. No. Bad choices are what stop most people from becoming their best self. Good choices create habits that help you become the-best-version-of-yourself. Bad choices create habits that cause you to become some second-rate-version-of-yourself. If we fill our lives with addictions, cravings, and self-destructive habits, it won’t be long before we lose the passion for life. What is holding you back from having great relationships and achieving your dreams? Is it fear? Is it addiction? Are you hanging around the wrong group of people? Do you allow your critics to determine the direction of your life? Have you lost sight of what matters most?

Disc 5 - The Seven Levels of Intimacy

Intimacy is one thing that the human person cannot live happily without. We yearn for it and yet we are desperately afraid of it. Why? Because somewhere deep inside we all fear that if people really knew who we were, they wouldn’t love us. The Seven Levels of Intimacy are a journey to the depths of who you really are, and if you are brave enough to share that journey with someone you love, it will be the most extraordinary adventure of their lives. Carefree timelessness and intimacy are best friends. Our relationships cannot thrive under the pressures of our noisy, busy, fast, modern lifestyles, but every relationship blossoms when it is nourished with a little carefree timelessness. Life is about love. It is about who you love and who you hurt. It’s about how you love yourself and how you hurt yourself. It’s about how you love and hurt those close to you. It is about how you love or hurt the strangers that pass through your life. Life is about love.

Disc 6 - Be The Difference that Makes the Difference

The only people I have ever met who were truly happy were people who were making a difference in other people’s lives. Our lives become a passionate adventure when we stop asking, “What’s in it for me?” and begin to look for ways to serve the people of our own place and time with our unique talents and abilities. What contribution will you make? Let this question dominate your desires, rather than the selfish pursuit of pleasure and possessions, and you will live a life uncommon. Now is your time. Do not say I am too young. Do not say I am too old. We are never too young, or too old, to engage our greatest talent. What is the most powerful gift we possess? Our greatest power is our ability to make a difference in the lives of the people who pass through our lives. Don’t let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do. Be the difference that makes the difference!
