Be A Name Caller: A Guide To Investing

By Matt Ham on October 1, 2013 in Growth, Personal

As we continue with ideas and insight to living richly, a life abounding in desirable qualities, it is essential to understand the importance of investing. We must invest. In order to maintain financial riches, the concept of investing is neccessary. The same holds true for OUR quest for personal richness. However, when seeking to live richly, we must invest in others. Much like financial investing yields compound interest, investing in people yields compound opportunity! Calling By Name One of […]

All Too Familiar: Brokenness and Healing

By Matt Ham on September 27, 2013 in Growth, Personal

I ran into an all too familiar face, or rather, an all too familiar place, last night; The Betty Cameron Women’s and Children’s Hospital here in Wilmington. The twins lived there for almost 5 weeks when they were born and we had an overnight visit with Greyson earlier this year. I didn’t expect we’d be there yesterday; Wyatt was admitted around 5pm with respiratory complications from a cold. As I walked towards the hospital, there was a range of emotions, […]

G.A.D.D – Golf Attention Deficit Disorder – A disorder causing one to lose attention while golfing. This usually results in restlessness and terrible play. Often causing frustration among all golfers involved. Signs and symptoms usually occur after bad play begins. Signs include searching for lost balls and talking to oneself. In extreme cases, club throwing and foul language may be witnessed. This condition is essentially a result of one wishing a golf course consisted of 11-13 holes rather than 18. […]

Two Things To Brighten Your Day

By Matt Ham on September 6, 2013 in Growth, Personal

We always hear, “You get out of something, whatever you put into it.” Bad ingredients make a bad cake. Well, I’m not so sure there is any ‘bad’ cake, but you get the point. That is a true statement and along the lines of topics we’ve discussed. Nothing great ever comes easy. It is only defined as great because there is some level of difficulty involved in pursuing it! As I continue on these ideas of living richly and seeking […]

Perfectly Crazy – Simply Greatfull

By Matt Ham on September 4, 2013 in Growth, Personal

Crazy This week has been packed full of crazy. Well, most weeks are, but this week particularly! My family is renting a beach house down at Wrightsville Beach; a tradition we started in 2001 after my Grandpa Ham passed away. For those of you that know my family, this is much more than just a family affair. Family and friends fill the house and meet at the beach which makes it such a special time. This, however, is the first […]

Your Day Job Isn’t Keeping You From Your Dream Job

By Matt Ham on September 2, 2013 in Growth, Personal

What is Labor Day? For most, it’s a long weekend away from work and maybe a chance to wallow in the fact that summer is finally over; the kids are back to school and the routine has returned. The anticipation of Memorial Day and celebration of Independence Day have faded into the drudging reality of Labor Day. It’s almost like President Grover Cleveland knew this when he signed the holiday into law back in 1887. I can hear him, under his breath say, […]

This Too Shall Pass

By Matt Ham on August 29, 2013 in Growth, Personal

My maternal grandmother, Eloise Ham, was raised alongside fourteen brothers and sisters in rural Timmonsville, South Carolina. She learned the value of hard work by caring for her younger siblings and performing her daily duties on the family farm. Tom Brokaw was right when he labeled her and her peers, The Greatest Generation. They taught us the value of an honest day’s work, the necessity for loving our neighbors and what it means to fear God. But the most valuable lessons my grandmother taught me […]
