About Donald

I am Donald Prior. I had a massive stroke. I spent two weeks intensive care. When I got a room, the Dr. came in and said that I would walk or talk, I would just be a vegetable to my wife. After he left, I said "NO" and gave her a thumbs up. That was all I can say at that time. With the good Lord's help and friends from the church, I can walk and talk and function again. Inspirational is the key to my success. I have a beautiful wife and two fine sons.

The Power of Pressing On!

“Carry on, carry on” may ring a bell to everyone in the fashion industry and we may put Project Runway’s Tim Gunn’s voice to it. The phrase has become Tim Gunn’s voice of support to the aspiring fashion designers in the fashion reality show. But it also rings true in our lives. Life, as we know it, is not a bed a roses. There are days when we simply want to stay in bed and do nothing. There are times when we want to surrender. Sometimes we come to a point in this journey of life when we are so tired and miserable that we want to just give up. There are dreams we have forgotten because they seem so out of reach. There are days when we feel like life is simply a routinary everyday thing and you long for more but you just don’t know how to… Continue reading

Letting Go!

Let go. Why do you cling to pain? There is nothing you can do about the wrongs of yesterday. It is not yours to judge. Why hold on to the very thing which keeps you from hope and love? – Leo Buscaglia

Dead end jobs. Abusive marriages. Broken hearts. Unsafe environment. These are only some things that we know are not good for our souls. Yet some of us cling to them. Oftentimes people have a lot of problem letting go Continue reading

The Passionate Life!

Rrring! The alarm clock wakes you up. You get dressed, you go to work, and maybe do some groceries or errands or see some friends. Then you get home. Watch the television, do household chores and sleep. Is this really just another day in your life? Are you one of the few million people who seem to go through the motions of life, living it as it is, and waiting for something exciting to fall in your hands?

Most people do not live their lives with passion and intensity. In fact, about 75% of the population does not even know what their true passion is… Continue reading

Taking Risks!

I dare you to move.

I dare you to take risks.

Yes, I am talking to you.

I’m talking about taking risks. No, not foolish risks such as taking a jump from the highest building without any safety gear. I’m talking about the risks we face in life- in our career, love, family, and spiritual faith. Decisions we have to make. Life is all about taking risks anyway. We take chances every single day. When we go to sleep, we risk not waking up the next day or when we cross the street, we risk getting… Continue reading

Work First and the Money Will Come

Most people don’t realize that successful people work first, sometimes for years, before they make lots of money. They are like the man who says to the fireplace, “give me heat, then I’ll add the wood”, they have it backwards… Continue reading

You Are What You Believe!

You are what you believe in your mind, whether you won’t believe it or not. Your attitude is what determines it. In the old saying of seeing the half glass empty or full, it’s all in your point of view. When you were born you knew nothing. Everything that you know you learn from someone, good and bad. You are the sum of your… Continue reading
