  • Finding Ambition: Moving Forward with Courage and Faith

    Finding Ambition: Moving Forward with Courage and Faith

    Sometimes you have to find that ambition—the assertive, “I know what I’m doing” attitude. Too often, we second-guess ourselves because we’re stuck processing all the “what if” scenarios in our minds.

    Think back to Avengers: Infinity War. Dr. Strange used his power to explore millions of possible futures, but he saw only one where they came out on top. He never told Tony Stark what it was, because if he did, it might not have happened. In Endgame, he finally revealed that crucial piece of truth at the moment it mattered most.

    In life, we want the same thing. We want to know the plan—the exact steps from point A to point B. While GPS works beautifully for driving, a life GPS isn’t always so helpful. Life is full of twists, turns, road closures, and accidents you could never predict. If you only depend on that “life GPS,” you’ll always be rerouting, loading, waiting—stuck in place.

    Instead, we need confidence that life itself is guiding us where we need to be. For those who are religious, that confidence may come from God’s presence and direction. For others, it may come from faith in themselves and the belief that persistence pays off. Whatever you call it—ambition, courage, confidence, or persistence—the point is simple: take the step forward.

    What’s the worst-case scenario? Rejection? Someone saying “no”? Missing out on what you wanted? That pain is temporary. What lasts much longer is the regret of never trying, of always wondering “what if?”

    As long as you move forward with the right mindset, right intentions, and right beliefs, things will fall into place. Iron Man didn’t know exactly how to defeat Thanos, but he continued on in good faith, driven by conviction and courage. In the end, he ended up where he needed to be.

    I walk that same path. I don’t always know the exact next step. I feel nervous and uncertain, just like anyone else. But I believe God is with me, guiding me to where I need to be. And that belief pushes me forward.

    So I encourage you: find your source of faith, guidance, and strength—whether it’s God, purpose, or self-belief. Let it fuel your ambition and give you the courage to step into uncharted waters. Move forward boldly. That is where growth begins.

  • When Life Reminds You Who’s Really in Control

    When Life Reminds You Who’s Really in Control

    It’s funny how some things in life feel like coincidences. Or maybe they’re not coincidences at all. Maybe life has a way of showing us exactly what we need to see, hear, or feel—right when we need it most.

    We see it in movies all the time. That magical incident that suddenly points someone to their true calling. And in real life, don’t we often ask for the same thing?
    “God, please give me a sign. Show me what I need to do, what I need to say, who I should marry.”

    And the crazy thing? The universe delivers. God delivers.

    This past Sunday, I walked into church carrying the heavy weight of my financial struggles—feeling like I had nowhere to run or hide. And wouldn’t you know it? The sermon was about living without control. About surrendering to God’s guidance because only He knows the path. Not a path free of pain, suffering, or hardship—but a path that leads us exactly where we’re meant to be.

    Maybe you’re not religious. That’s okay. Call it God, the universe, or just life—it still delivers signs. The question is: are you willing to listen?

    The answers we get aren’t always what we want. Often, the resistance we feel is because the truth runs directly against our desires. And yet, the lesson is the same: we don’t always get what we want in life.

    I teach this to my son all the time. No matter what social media influencers try to sell you or what the latest “manifest your destiny” book promises—you won’t get everything you want. Nobody does.

    Life has its balance. There will be pain, but there will also be joy. There will be suffering, but also freedom. God provides it all—the highs and the lows—because together, they shape us.

    So maybe the best move isn’t to fight for control but to let go. Let God, let the universe, let life take the driver’s seat. Because that’s how we eventually end up where we truly need to be.

  • Manifesting Miracles, Transformers, and the Law of Attraction (Through the Eyes of a Kid and a Dad)

    Manifesting Miracles, Transformers, and the Law of Attraction (Through the Eyes of a Kid and a Dad)

    So recently, I was reading about the Law of Attraction—not the art of seduction, but the idea of attracting the things you want in life through mindset and belief.

    Some people think of it as manifesting something out of thin air, like magic or voodoo. Others dismiss it as pure hocus-pocus. But I believe there’s a truth woven into this mindset—a kind of spiritual logic that’s hard to deny when you truly tune into it.

    For me, as a Christian, it actually aligns with putting things into God’s hands, being grateful for what we already have, and staying open to the ways in which blessings show up. Add belief to that formula, and I’ve found you can attract some pretty amazing things.

    God promised that through faith, we could move mountains, walk on water, and even perform miracles. Sometimes I think the universe—or more accurately, God—wants to give us incredible things… if only we’re willing to receive them. That gift may not always come in the way we want, expect, or even understand—but it comes.

    Let me tell you a little story.

    This past weekend, my son—out of nowhere—decided he wanted to collect all five Constructicon robots from Transformers. (If you’re not a fan, these are robots that also turn into construction vehicles. When you collect all five, they combine into a bigger robot named Devastator. Very dramatic. Very epic.)

    Now, I hadn’t seen these toys in years. They’re from the original Transformers series back in the day. But my son walks into Target, full of confidence and says, “I want a Constructicon Transformer.”

    We didn’t even come for toys. We just needed socks.

    But guess what? We head to the toy aisle, and there—just sitting on the shelf like it was waiting for him—is one lone Constructicon robot.

    Turns out, Hasbro is re-releasing the full set throughout 2025. One down. Four to go. And yes—he now wants all five. (And guess whose wallet is now involved in this divine mission?)

    But here’s what struck me: he didn’t know about the re-release. He hadn’t seen any ads or updates. He just wanted it. Believed it. Spoke it out loud. And poof—there it was.

    Maybe it’s easier to believe in magic and miracles when you’re a kid. Maybe doubt creeps in as we grow older because we’ve experienced more failures and disappointments. But our past doesn’t define our future.

    I love how stockbrokers always say, “Past performance does not guarantee future results.” Well, the same applies to life. Your past doesn’t predict your potential. Your future is still a blank canvas.

    We have the chance to manifest something beautiful. All it takes is belief, vision, and the willingness to keep moving forward—even if the path looks random, awkward, or completely unplanned.

    God and the universe don’t always provide in straight lines. Sometimes the miracle comes during a sock run to Target. Sometimes it shows up as a child’s innocent belief. And sometimes, it’s hidden in between the lines of what we expect.

    We just have to open our eyes, our minds, and our hearts wide enough to see it.

    As for the rest of the Constructicons? With any luck (and a few timely restocks), they’ll be arriving at our doorstep by September or October. But honestly, I already got the bigger gift: a small reminder that belief still holds power—and that miracles can still be found… even in the toy aisle.
