On a recent trip to St. Louis, Missouri, for a seminar, I stopped by the famous Gateway Arch, the symbol of the expansion of the United States to the West.
It was completed in 1965 at a cost of $13 million. This monument is in commemoration of Thomas Jefferson and the great deeds that he did with the Louisiana Purchase and expanding the United States to the west coast.
It was not far from the Gateway Arch that, in 1804, the Lewis and Clark Expedition took off.
The Gateway Arch is the tallest of our national monuments in the United States. It is 608 feet tall and 608 feet wide at the base.
There is a tramway system inside the arch that takes over a million people a year up to the top to observe the entire area.
There is something unique about the tramway in the Gateway Arch. Since the arch curves, that tramway does not go straight up. In order to keep the passenger cars level as they go up the curved arch, there are many adjustments along the tramway.
Isn’t that a lesson in life?
Many times, life for us is not a straight line. Life sometimes throws us a curve. And, if we don’t learn to adjust as we go, if we don’t learn to take those difficult moments a little easier, life is going to be really tough for us.
So, may I suggest for you, if you have a difficult time adjusting to the challenges of the economy, of your health, of the weather, or whatever, that you realize that you can adjust easily.
May I suggest an affirmation that helps us deal better with the curves of life: I adjust easily to the curves that I see in life.
It’s not what happens. It’s how we react. Thus, it’s all about our attitude toward challenges that makes the big difference.
By adjusting our attitude, I believe that we will be able to move up to the top a little smoother.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined in greatness. I see it in you – you are a Champion. Have a powerful day!

My Journey to Jerusalem
CLICK HERE TO “TAKE ME TO THE NEXT LEVEL”
The other day, when I was somewhere on the East Coast, about to do a speaking engagement, I thought about setting goals. What if one of my goals – whether I’m a history buff, or a very religious person – what if one of my goals was to visit Jerusalem.
Let’s say that was one of my goals. And let’s say that I could just snap my fingers and suddenly be there? That’s exactly what I did that morning, just to see what might happen.
Shortly thereafter I found myself in Jerusalem. But, wait a minute. I was born in Israel. The Jerusalem I found myself in that day didn’t look like the Jerusalem I was used to.
The Jerusalem I was used to had a lot of historical and religious sites. Many of the buildings in the city were built out of the golden stone that is found in the nearby quarries. That’s what the real Jerusalem in Israel looks like. I was born there. I know.
But where was I? Wait a minute. I found myself in Jerusalem, Rhode Island. A beautiful fishing village in the southern edge of the state named Jerusalem.
Now what was wrong with my goal that day? I said I wanted to go to Jerusalem. But I wasn’t specific enough. I didn’t say which one. I didn’t realize that there was more than one. But there are.
Isn’t this a lesson about life? We set goals but we’re not specific. People say, “I want to be rich. I want to have a nice home.” They don’t write down specific details about the goal and then they get whatever the universe throws at them.
So, if you have a goal, write it down in specific details and you could end up at the right location as opposed to the wrong one. I did get to Jerusalem that day, but not the one I was looking for.
I want to make sure you get to the one you’re looking for.
I hope to see you Wednesday morning on Lifetime Television on The Balancing Act, 7-8 a.m. Easter and Pacific time. For speaking events, I can be reached at 619-723-3007.
You are special. You are unique. You are destined for greatness. You are a Champion!
