Questioning Assumptions: Driving Growth 

November 15, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

My mind is both my most powerful asset and my biggest liability. I’m both propelled forward and held back. Thus I constantly question my mind, my assumptions, my drive. I seek out opportunities to grow.

Today’s Motivation: The Best Time To Plant A Tree 

October 23, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment


I find myself doubting my past, second guessing my choices. This quote, this proverb  reminds me of the pointlessness of that behavior. That I need to keep my eyes in the now, on the future. And so I get up and move forward.

Lessons about Winning 

October 15, 2018October 21, 2018 Carl SetzerLeave a comment

I struggle to see 

That “not losing” and “winning”

Are not the same thing

I’ve been working on myself lately. Adjusting my.mind, embracing the possibilities, and releasing all the fears lurking within, holding me back.
