Motivational Story - Finding Your TRIUMPH!


With this being the start of a New Year, I wanted to share a fantastic video clip that features Indiana Pacers star Victor Oladipo taken from a post-game interview just before the calendar changed over to the 1st of January in 2021.

The seven-year NBA veteran and two-time All-Star, speaks about FINDING YOUR TRIUMPH during times of unrest or when things are just not going your way? The video is 2-minutes and 12-seconds in length. 

Oladipo, who’s averaging just over 20-points-per-game in this new NBA season, had to find his TRIUMPH recently when he was sidelined for 371 straight days back in 2019 that also carried over into the early 2020 calendar year as he rehabbed from a ruptured quadriceps tendon injury. He then had his return to NBA game action halted and altered by the pandemic virus. 

Always remember this: “We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity - stated by Barbara De Angelis, Relationship Consultant and Best-Selling Author

Below are some other inspiring quotes to help keep your focus during the early stages of the New Year. 

All the Best!

  For this piece, I encourage you to set aside five minutes in your day to watch this fantastic video we are sharing from Tom Brady , the 7-time Super Bowl winning NFL quarterback! He takes time to tell you his secrets about reaching your Dreams. Tom talks about how as an athlete, he was not blessed with the physical traits that scouts seek in a prospect. That he was told by some coaches and scouts back in his early days to look for a new career. That he just wasn’t good enough. He will tell you that he had to find other traits to help him achieve his Dreams … traits like discipline, work effort and perseverance to overcome skills that he might have been lacking. He speaks about working to be one percent better than the day before. To take care of your body - it is your #1 Asset. That the Magic you’re looking for is in the Will of Trying. That WILL always Finds a Way! This is a highly motivating video from one of the great winning athletes of all time! Jim Loria Tom Brady Video L...

A Decision That Cost a Lifetime

  This piece was one of the toughest articles I’ve ever written! It came about from a tragic situation that took place during a horrific flood that hit the Toowoomba city in Queensland,  Australia in 2011. This story involves a family of two brothers – Blake (10)  & J ordan (13) Rice and their Mother (Donna) . The mother was innocently driving to a store to buy school uniforms for her children when a massive amount of rain water broke through the central business district of their city and began to flood the area.  The family car became stuck in the floodwaters and the tide was quickly rising up at warp speed. The mother then made a desperate call to the local emergency services while standing and holding onto her kids from the top of their vehicle.  As the intense flow of water now went up and over the rooftop, it also swept the family off their feet and out into what would look like a makeshift river. Donna was quickly out of sight and nowhere to be foun...
