My message today is to let go of your busy lives, let kids be kids, release all negative thoughts, and love those around you.

Since we own a family business, the term accountability is extremely important to us. All our clients know they can count on us to deliver the best outcome for their investment. We are result driven.

Many years ago, I became a single father when my youngest child Daylyn was in second grade. Since I grew up as a coach’s son in an athletic environment, it was natural for me to raise all my kids the same way.

Your best day could be tomorrow, so be willing to fail today, as long as you’re giving it your best.

Recently, I was working with one of our male clients, Steve.

To me, baseball has a big reflection of our lives. How many times have you struck out in relationships, but eventually, you found the perfect partner? How many interviews did you go on before you landed the dream job?

Just remember, once you can own up to your mistakes, you’ll be able to keep moving forward.

If you’re from the Galveston county area, or a Galveston native (B.O.I.), you’re familiar with the name Moody.

How many of you are someone we can count on? Do you show up for work each day and give it your best? Are you the role model for your children because your actions will affect their drive for success?

As you start putting things into your body, don’t just reach for healthy foods, include creative positive thoughts.

I’m sure about everyone reading this column has failed a diet or two. Today’s dieting world is extremely confusing because of the variety of programs thrown at us each day.

Really, the true message today is to never get complacent and be on cruise control. You worked hard for your accomplishments, so work harder to stay there.

Where ever you are at this moment in life, take one more step each day. This doesn’t just pertain to walking, it’s for every purpose you possess.

Recently, I was a guest for a small group of leaders. I asked each one to name a few expensive items they once thought had value, but it really wasn’t what was expected. People were naming motorcycles, boats, jewelry and so on.

Today’s article is a big shout out to my good friend and client, League City Mayor Pat Hallisey.

Recently, I read a study of how the participation in youth sports is down 39 percent over the past many years. I do understand several factors could be involved, from single parenting to finances.

Back in 2000, I ran the Houston marathon for my 40th birthday. My daughter Daylyn was born several months before, and since I did most of the early morning feedings, my training had come to a halt.

One of the largest reasons people quit exercising is motivation. All of us can get excited about starting a new diet, cardio or a weight-training program, but sticking with it is another matter.

There’s no secret, as we get older, we lose our physical strength. That’s why we are in awe of older athletes competing at a pro level.
