Your Thinking To Breed Success
There is a place in the Northern Hemisphere where
the night time dark remains most of the year and the sky is showcased by a
flickering light show. You would all know this well as the Northern Lights.
Your Mission, Should You Decide to Accept
it......
Are you one who acts or reacts? Does it matter?
Your Mind, The Millennium & YOU
We are at a very critical time in our
evolution as human beings. Almost every person on the planet who has spent
at
YOUR LIFE INVESTMENT
I am fascinated by investments. Did you know that
there are mutual funds out there that can consistently give you a return on your
investment between 12 - 18 percent? I don't know how much you know about
financial returns on investments, but that's a really good rate of return!
Your Dreams May Be Telling You Something
Your dreams can become a reality. This is true!
Yes, this is possible by learning to tap into your inner power and strength.
While dreaming, you release your doubt about your world of possibilities.
Without doubts there are no limitations. Personally, I believe that your dreams
do not reflect an image of you but it is really you in true spirit. Dreams are
real and are guides to your own spiritual awareness.
Your dreams are already true!
Today I’d like to talk with you about manifesting
your desires, your dreams and aspirations and hopefully give you some
encouragement and a good start in making the things you really want, actually
happen!
Your Diet Didn't Work--Again
You're rooting through your closet for that
perfect thing to wear. Maybe this, maybe that - no, not THAT! Your eye lights on
a brand new pair of jeans - that you'd completely forgotten about. Perfect! Then
you remember why they were bought and then forgotten. You purchased them when
you were on your last diet as an incentive, a motivation. Which didn't work.
Which of course means that they won't fit now.
Your Big Yellow Bus
The big yellow school bus is coming down my road
again. The neighborhood kids seem happy. The dogs are not. The kids are no
longer around during the day and Jersey is going to drop a little weight without
all the treats they have been bringing her this summer. I must admit that when I
see the bus, I feel sorry for those poor suckers. And I express my gratitude
that I'm no longer going back to school this time of year.
Your Big Life Plan
It’s big but you can’t see it. So great that if
you could see it you wouldn’t believe it. It’s your destiny and it’s calling
you. If you don’t believe me just remember Albert Einstein. He could not speak
until he was four years old. He did not read until he was 7. His parents thought
he was retarded. We know they were wrong. Or how about Beethoven. His music
teacher said, "As a composer he is hopeless." Wrong again. And let’s not forget
Muhammad Ali. His teacher once told him, “you ain’t never going to be nothing.
He showed her and the world that he was the greatest after all. We all know
Helen Keller’s story and we certainly all know our own story. Every day we face
challenges, fears, obstacles, and negativity that hits us with left jabs and
right hooks. We get so caught up in the details of bills, job pressures, raising
kids, fixing the house, car payments, trying to make a living and a hundred
other to-dos, that we can’t even see over the piles of paper on our desk never
mind-our future success. But when t
You Never Know
Helaine Iris
You Can’t See Your Own Eyes
My friend called me this morning from her favorite
coffee shop. She was taking a break from work. I sensed frustration in her
voice. Something clearly was on her mind. After a few minutes of small talk I
invited her to tell me what was going on.
You Are Responsible For Who You Become
You are not responsible for the background and
circumstances that may have influenced who you are, but you are responsible for
who you become.
You Are Not A Failure!
What is failure? Failure is a lack of success, an
unsuccessful person or thing. In other words, failure is quitting before
receiving the promise. As children of God, we must understand that with God all
things are possible. The victory is already won. We triumph in all things in
Christ Jesus! There are no reasons for failures just excuses. The Bible says in
Proverbs 24:10 “If thou faint in the day of adversity thy strength is small”.
God the father created us with abilities to succeed. One of them is the blood of
Jesus and the other is the Holy Ghost. It is our responsibility to operate with
in them. Jesus said: “the Kingdom of God is within you”.
Yes, You Can Say No
It is perfectly OK to say, "No." You have
permission. Many people do not like to disappoint others by saying, "No." They
will tend to acquiesce even when overloaded. Sometimes those with the need to
please will agree to do something when it is not in their best interest just to
be accommodating. Saying yes when we want or need to say no is a way to put
others first. Indeed we don't want to hurt others' feelings, however we hurt our
own when we overload ourselves and say yes to task that we don't want to or
don't have time to do.
Written Dreams
What is distracting you from your Dream? Will you
regret later on in life not going for it?
Worry for Success
Worry for Success
Words Are Not Neutral. Are We the Victims?
The English novelist, Rudyard Kipling, once said
that "Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind." Indeed,
words can make you cry, can make you laugh, and can kill you. Why? Because of
the "images" that they leave in our minds. Although most of us may not realize
what is happening, such images have consequences sooner or later. Words may
change from time to time, from culture to culture, from continent to continent,
but something stays in our minds: the effect. Can we become the victims?
Within You Lies All You Need
Within is the person we really are. Within lies
our very existence. And only from within can we make it happen. This is where
our very all subsists. Within you is the ability, the “what it takes” to make it
all happen for you, just the way you want it. WITHIN! WITHIN!! WITHIN!!! Oh what
a place! This is the only place that will ever always and fully be yours. The
only domain where you are king indeed. Not even the future or the past holds a
stake high enough to be compared to that within you. The renowned jurist, Oliver
Wendell Homes couldn’t have said it better when he remarked, “What lies ahead of
us and what lies behind us are nothing compared to what LIES WITHIN US”. The
past haven gone and the future waiting beyond, you are left with but one great
option - That which is within you. Your very bird in hand. I want you to realize
that your best bet is in all that you are potentially endowed with within,
though it may not appear, as it ought to be at present.
Wiggle Room
I was paddling a new river a couple of weekends
ago and came up behind a beaver. He didn't know I was there. I spoke up, trying
to give him fair warning, but by the time I saw him, I was on top of the poor
fellow. We were both pretty surprised. As we went down river together at about
the same speed, I could hear and feel, th-thump, th-thump, th-thump, on the
bottom of my canoe as he tried to maneuver his way out of the dilemma of only 8
inches of water between the bottom of my canoe and the bottom of the river.
After a long 45 seconds, we finally reached deeper water. My paddling partner
said, “That poor guy just ain’t got no wiggle room.”

Why Your Loved-Ones Trample On Your Dreams
I repeatedly get the following question from my
readers:
Why You Should Handle Your Own Auto
Accident Insurance Claim
When there's no question about the liability (that
is, who's at fault for your accident) the non-lawyer person is fequently better
motivated, and in most cases tempermentally better equipped, to do the job than
the average lawyer - - especially when it comes to the undertaking of the less
apealing, but always essential, aspects of the claims processing background
work.
Why Worry?
How much time do you spend worrying about things?
More than likely too much time. Try to think back and remember all the things
about which you have worried. Undoubtedly more than you can possibly recall.
Why Most CEOs & Entrepreneurs Fail
Times are tough. The economy is in a constant
state of
WHY BOTHER WITH ESP? Discovering That You
Are The Love That You Seek
CHAPTER 7
Why Aren't You Getting What You Want?
If you go around and ask, "Do you want to become a
millionaire?" I believe 9 out of 10 will say yes to your question.
Who Me, Stressed?
You love your family dearly, but right now, they
are driving you positively buggy. You’re waging the battle of the
belly-button/nose/tongue piercings with your teenage daughter, your husband is
jammed with deadlines at work and can’t help out with chores; your five-year-old
has a persistent case of the unanswerable “why Mommy?” As if that weren’t
enough, your supervisor has smilingly dumped your vacationing co-worker’s tasks
in your lap. But mercifully, it’s Saturday, the kids are at their respective
Saturday activities, your husband is at work, you’ve done your chores (enough,
anyway) and are off to spend a quiet couple of blissful hours communing with
nature.
Who is the Pilot?
It was a mild summer day in Raleigh-Durham, North
Carolina when I boarded United Airline flight 7318 to Washington, DC. Like
usual, I promptly located my window seat, with no doubts that the pilots would
safely take me to my destination.

What To Do When Your Boss Is A Jerk
If you have worked for anytime at all, you have
had the opportunity to work with a difficult boss. I have had the pleasure of
working with many over my lifetime and have learned a few interesting ways to
handle a difficult boss.

There is never a good reason for doing the wrong
thing. What you Believe will affect everything you do.

What I've Learned from Mister Rogers
Fred Rogers is one of my heroes. He was gentle

What Is Your Difference Now Moment
What is Your “Difference Now” Moment?
What is this thing called Loneliness?
I’m sitting on a park bench during my lunch hour,
slowly finishing my freshly constructed BLT sandwich. I’m eagerly waiting to sip
on the coffee that I’ve bought from the café just across my office. It’s in a
Styrofoam cup which I really resent. But there you are. At least I’ve got hot
coffee.
What is Life Coaching?
Money Magazine said that “A coach may be the
guardian angel you need to rev up your career.” In fact, if you pick up any
major newspaper or magazine, you are bound to come across a glowing article on
coaching. It is one of the fastest growing careers, with an estimated 100,000
coaches in the United States. Because coaching is a relatively new profession,
there are many people calling themselves “coaches”---unfortunately not all of
whom are fully qualified. You should know that there is no required professional
certification process, although it is coming in the near future.
What is Hypnosis
Hypnosis is a natural, psychological state
experienced as trance. Hypnosis may be induced through the interaction of one
individual speaking to another, or to an entire group as in (group hypnosis). We
can also learn to self-induce trance as in (self-hypnosis). A trance is a
natural state occurring whenever attention is narrowly focused and relatively
free of distractions. Your attention may be focused either internally (on
daydreaming or self-talk, meditation, etc.) or externally (on a task, reading, a
movie, engaged in an art form, intently listening to a speaker, etc.). Attention
is narrowly focused so that other environmental stimuli are ignored or blocked
out of conscious awareness for a period of time.
What is Healthy Support?
For many giving another human being the support
they require is not an easy thing. It means letting down our own judgment and
wishes for that person - and REALLY supporting and encouraging them -- even if
giving that support means that they move 3000 miles away. It's also about inner
support and learning how to support ourselves. It's about watching the messages
of the universe for their support and about not giving up on you! And oh... it's
about walking over and under and through lots of mountains and pastures too.
What does SUCCESS look like to you?
So many of us want success, but how many of us
really know what we mean when we say it? And please….. don’t blurt out some
superficial “bling and glam” definition like VH1 defines it on “The Fabulous
Life of ……” The expensive cars, the safe full of jewelry and the massive homes
on every continent are only fruits of success, not success itself. Rather,
Success is the realization and accomplishment of worthy goals. They are those
purpose driven milestones that we set in our lives based on our values, beliefs
and ambitions. You know them when you see them because they bring a sense of
fulfillment and peace of mind when actively pursued. On the flip side, however,
they increase our level of anxiety and frustration when we let fear and
complacency stop us from pursuing them. You should know that feelings of fear
are part of the process, but you need to acknowledge that fear and move through
it because I guarantee you that if you don’t take time to set and actively
pursue (purpose driven) goals, you will most certa
What Are You Planning to Achieve by The
End of The Year?
Fast forward yourself to the end of December and
as the year closes, how are you feeling about your achievements during this past
year? Really get in touch with your feelings, live them, breathe them and don't
let them pass by. Are you feeling any disappointment, regret or frustration for
the things you haven't done or achieved? Do you find yourself thinking, "This
past year has flown by and what have I done", "There is so much more that I
wanted to do" or "Why haven't I done the things that I'd said I'd do".

What Are YOU Making It Mean?
Were you born to be rich? - Wealth
building, wealth creation and financial freedom in the information age.
Never before in history has it been so easy for
everyday people to achieve amazing wealth. The number of millionaires and
billionaires rises by leaps and bounds every year.
We Don't Take Them Crushed
A very important aspect to making your dreams come
true involves staying focused on your goal, believing, with your whole heart, it
is a reality.
Walk Your Talk
You are ready to go on your job interview, your
first date, your first meeting with the in-laws. What are you saying to
yourself? What picture of yourself are you projecting? What kind of pitch are
you pitching in your mind?
Voice of the Monkey Boy: A Parable
This is a parable I wrote a few years ago with a
student, Krysta Tabuchi. I’m using it here to illustrate the journey of Vocal
Power.
Use Your Unique Abilities to Shake The
World
I awoke to the feeling of being shook and felt
scared because I didn't know what was happening. It later transpired that we had
experienced an earthquake. As I reflected on this occurrence and my feelings at
the time, for me, it was a metaphor for shaking up our lives. What do I mean by
shaking up our lives? I mean taking the opportunity to really go for our dreams
or to take that leap of faith, that step that feels huge. Most people don't take
the opportunity to shake or change their world, or even their own environment,
such as work, family or community.

Unhealthy Attachments Lead to Unhappy
Results!
I will be the first to admit that every time I
have formed unhealthy attachments in life, it has invariably led to trouble!
Trouble such as resentment, fear, anger, discouragement, low self-esteem, and
limiting beliefs, which all seem to be the potential result of unhealthy
attachments! One day, I just got frustrated enough to say, “I’ve had it, I’m
sick and tired of the disappointments,” and started to explore what it would be
like to live a life free of these upsets.
Unemployment Blues: Take Back Control!
One of the most emotionally crippling aspects of
unemployment is the sense of powerlessness it engenders. Job layoff triggers
financial pressures, emotional distress, family turmoil, and dashed career
hopes. It is forced on us by unrelenting fate, an emotionally disengaged
employer, and economic currents that have little to do with us personally. We
feel that we have no control over our situation, our lives, our future.
Understanding Worthiness
It is obvious that we are in a time of change.
With all of the changes occuring in the world we should not be surprised when
the doors of change open in our own personal life. When my doors opened I was
very afraid. At first I didn't recognize them as doors of oppurtunity, I thought
my whole world was crashing down on top of me into one little pile of crap. I
just knew that I could no longer go on.

Try to think of absolutely nothing, for
this is the secret of success.
The formula you need for all the wealth, success
and achievement, and peace of mind, indeed for all the answers to all your
problems, and I mean all, is S.S.S. SILENCE, STILLNESS AND SOLITUDE. This is no
invention of my own, and research into psychology and studies of world leaders,
scientists, musicians, physicists, industrialists, inventors and other famous
people proves this great power has been used, unwittingly or intentionally,
since the beginning of time. All human success and achievement stems from this
one power. It was used by Mozart, Einstein, Carnegie, Shakespeare, Emerson and
Edison, to mention a few. This is the power used by the fakirs and mystics of
the East and the fire walkers of the Fiji Islands. It allows the fire walkers to
walk barefooted across red hot coals without feeling any pain. The secret lies
in meditation, in Silence, Stillness and Solitude.
Trust Your Instincts

Trust and Acceptance of Yourself and Your
Power
Confidence and inner trust are one and the same in
the emotional state. Confidence is your ability to cope and depend upon yourself
to create a reality that is dependable. If you don't have confidence, you will
create a reality that you cannot depend upon.

Using the 5-Minute Success Strategy
Recently, I coached a young woman whom I’ll call
Mary about how to make critical lifestyle changes. Mary had always struggled
with her weight. She had no control over her eating and she could not maintain a
consistent exercise program. That’s when I suggested that Mary try the 5-Minute
Success Strategy to help her overcome her problem behavior. The beauty of this
strategy is that you can use it both to eliminate an unwanted behavior and
establish a desired one.

to make it so.

of your career or industry, when applied, these universal success principles can
be a catalyst for your success.
To Do or to Be? The Truth About Purpose
Let me begin with Everywoman’s story…That morning
it happened again. I could feel it creeping up like a shadow, a foreboding,
dense and dark. My doctor had said that it was simply stress, but there was
nothing simple about it. With a sense of panic, I wanted to race forward into my
responsibilities and run from them at the same time-kids, work, maintaining a
household, social engagements, the whole daily living routine.
Thriving Tips for Introverts
Introverts make up about 10-30% of the population,
but they're highly represented on the Internet! However much of the world is

There's Gold in That Silence
Can you recall a time where you utilized silence
to make a point? If you can consciously recall, you probably know your silence

words, unlimited, indivisible and instantaneous.

The Wise Woman Tradition is the oldest known
healing tradition on our planet. It offers a unique view of health that is

orthodox - and most alternative - healing traditions, which are based on male
viewpoints which disempower women.

Gas and runs. In order to combat this problem some stations with rear pumps
required the driver to prepay with credit or debit card on that pump. This was
due to the lack of visibility of the license plate. I finished filling up and

YOU'RE FEELING DOWN in the DUMPS
Everyone has periods in their life when they feel
*down in the dumps*, blue, or mildly depressed, *especially* at holiday times,
such as Christmas & Thanksgiving. Many people feel this way especially on New
Years Eve due to perhaps a combination of alcohol, the end of a year that was
not great for them, etc. These *down* feelings can be due to everything from
some personal problems to business hassles to various weather changes or
conditions. For those for whom these moods are short-lived and *not frequent*

The Three Spiritual Powers of Independent
Thinkers
Independent thinkers are growing in number. Though
still a tiny minority, everyday more and more people are throwing aside
conformity and seeking to understand spiritual themes direct from their own
hearts, and not through any person, book or organization on earth. Though these
can be valuable tools, independent thinkers know that knowledge can come from
others, but only from within can wisdom dawn.

How to Exercise Enormous Power Over the
The Subconscious Mind: A Tool For Success
As a Coach and Psychotherapist I have found that
the world seems to have lost its way in terms of values. Most individuals are
looking for more meaning in their lives, as are businesses looking to capture
the spirit of what they do. I found the movie “ What The Bleep Do We Know?”
refreshingly inspiring and in many ways descriptive of my view of the world.
Quantum theory and the profound effects it has on the way we view the world, our
world, and therefore the way we create it is an amazing way of saying, “hey you
are accountable and you got to where you are because you created it!”
THE SNEEZY-COUGHING-ACHY BLUES
It’s a bright sunny day. Well, it’s a sunny day.
It started out bright, but now as you sneeze, cough and ache your way
increasingly through the hours, the day is getting duller and duller. You make
it through your work and drag yourself home. “How ya feeling, Hon?” your devoted
Significant Other asks. “Awful,” you reply, “It started with just a couple of
sneezes and now I’m a total mess.” “Oh, it’s probably just allergies,” he
replies. You shoot him a look; “I’m sure getting a lot of sympathy from you. I
feel awful.” You cough a few times for emphasis. “Well you have a great
constitution. You’ll be well in no time,” he says. You dig in your heels: “No
it’s not. This is gonna get worse before it gets better, I can tell.” Why he
doesn’t catch on is a mystery to you.
The Sleeper Awakens Within The Dream
When we awaken from dreams, we realize that they
were not real, but entirely of our own creation. In a dream, you are the
participant as well as the creator of all the other characters and the settings.
In like manner, everyday reality can also be viewed from this dream perspective;
a dream from which each of us will one day awaken to realize that this too was
an illusion of earthly consciousness.

The S.O.A.M. Model of Growth
Achieving transformation and growth requires three
critical steps: self-ownership, self-appraisal, and self-management (SOAM). The
SOAM model is a cogent, practical working model of personal transformation that
is dependent only on oneself. It is also that is easily taught to others. While

the SOAM model of transformation can be utilized at any time in the life cycle.

in the power of intention. Yet, extraordinary stories always capture my
attention, and there is no question in my mind that it is more practical to
apply intention than to write it off as mumbo-jumbo.
The Power of Choice
We are ALWAYS at CHOICE. Sounds simple. For many
things, this is an easy and empowering concept to embrace. Someone asks you out
to dinner. Do you really want to go? You decide "yes" or "no". You're at choice.
Someone asks you to do something you DON'T want to do. Again, you're at
choice..."yes" or "no".
The Power of Believing in Yourself
It took me a long time to learn the value of
believing in myself. In fact, I’m still learning how to stop struggling and
start believing. That’s how deeply programmed I am. Chances are, you also
struggle with this challenge. Let’s see if you recognize this conversation:

The Gift of a Near Death Experience
Almost everyone has experienced at least one
harrowing event in which they felt they might have died. An automobile accident
or near accident, a fall, an illness. A car speeding past them careening off the
road while they were walking along. A kitchen towel you were holding just
started to catch fire, and you noticed it immediately. You began to lose your
balance while climbing on a ladder. A driver lost control of his vehicle and ran
onto the sidewalk right near you.

THE FOUR EMOTIONS THAT CAN LEAD TO LIFE
CHANGE
(excerpted from "Seven Strategies for Wealth and
Happiness" by Jim Rohn)**
The Final Chapter
Several months ago, I read an article about a 22
year old, successful young lady who died a premature death in a plane crash. The
more I read this article, the heavier my heart became because she died in the
midst of her formative years. Equally tear-jerking was the fact that she died
before completing a book that she was writing - before completing her final
chapter.
The Fable of the Elephant and the Woman
Who Wasn't Blind
This isn’t the story about the four blind men and
the elephant, this is the story of me looking at that 6 ton elephant in the zoo,
tethered to that tiny stake, and wondering why on earth she doesn’t break loose.
Instead she rocks back and forth when it should take an electric fence, iron
bars, or 25 armed men to confine her, if that.
The Evolution of Coping
Last week, two people told me they are “coping.”
That concerns me. The first time I heard this, I grab the dictionary and I
learned that to “cope” is “to struggle or deal, esp. on fairly even terms or
with some degree of success.” Even though I read the words “even terms” and
“degree of success,” coping is just about the last thing I want for anyone. It's
the “struggle” part I hate.

The challenge of Choice
It is not just at New Year that we can wipe the
slate of the old year clean and chose to start again. Although we can chose to
make this the star point for our new choices or the time to jettison some old
ones, we know that there is nothing intrinsically magical about the New Year
Bells. The world does not come to an abrupt halt at midnight of the outgoing
year and the laws of time are not suspended to allow us to erase the past in
order to give us a clean sheet for the future. We can do this at any time. It is
our choice.
The Brilliant You, Unreleased!
You're a remarkable person. But, you knew that
already. Still, buried among apathy, unbelief and inhibition, is the brilliant
"you" waiting to be released. You already knew that, too. A few disappointments
here, several temporary defeats there, and POOF! just like that, you settled for
being a risk-conscious, opportunity:
The Best Thing
Newspapers from my hometown said there had been a
rise in suicides. Crisis centers were straining. Thousands were suddenly out of
work. Factories that had given Akron its nickname, "The Rubber Capitol of the
World," were shutting down. No retirement would go to those who dreamed mainly
of it.

The Avatar?Course
The Avatar course, was written down by Harry
Palmer, an educational psychologist, in 1986. He says it was created out of
‘perceived need' and that he wanted to give people tools to better handle the
difficulties of life. The tools and techniques delivered in the course, he says,
were IN consciousness and may have always been there, just waiting to be
discovered. If it weren’t for all the people who have meditated, read about and
explored consciousness, perhaps the tools would not have been discovered exactly
when they were ?birthed from a floatation tank in the stillness of his own
living room! Harry doesn't pretend to be the only person capable of discovering
something like Avatar but we can thank everyone.
The Art of War for Today's Life Strategist
“Do not repeat the exact same tactics just because
they have gained you one victory. Instead, let your methods be regulated by the
infinite variety of circumstances.” This is a line from the ancient Chinese book
of military strategy known as The Art of War, which was written well over 2000
years ago, and was regarded in ancient times as sacred information that was
secretly transmitted and closely guarded.

Haven't Reached a Dream
Following are a series of questions I needed to
ask myself and find answers to over the course of my life before finally
deciding to go for it. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if any of these looked
familiar to you. You’ll notice that many of the questions and my proposed
solutions are interrelated.

Taking PreCautions: Lessons on Protection
Strategies for the 21st Century from Genuine Bussey Style
"What is defense? It is a countermeasure to

Taking Control of Your Workspace
Let's face it: it's HARD to always be "on" when
you're at work. No matter how much you try, even the best-laid plans and
schedules break down; sometimes it seems like all the forces are against you.
You can get discouraged, weary, frustrated and unfocused. You can blame your
boss, your spouse, interruptions, computer crashes, too much work, too little
time...the list goes on and on.
Taking Control of Your Life
Are you looking in a specific place? Expecting
something to happen? What energises you.....makes you feel alive? Life is yours.
It isn't what happens to someone else, it's what happens and how it happens to
you. And, no matter good, bad or indifferent, it's how you process the
experience and use it to enrich your life. Life isn't about somewhere else, some
other time or place or the what ifs. It's about now and how you make the most of
this moment in time or, waste it. It's absorbing all there is around you,
learning, growing, feeling all emotions. Not just the good ones. It's
acknowledging your choices might not have been the best ones and knowing nothing
or no one is stopping you from making new ones. No one other than yourself, that
is. So often I hear the words "Life is flying by. Where did the time go?"

SUCCESS AND EXCUSES.
What is success? I suppose if that was the
question, then it would be easy to answer, a uniform question which holds a
uniform answer. But it doesn’t. The question is better said “what is success for
you”.
Struggle and Human Growth
Let’s define struggle to mean any personal goal
achievement accompanied by discomfort and resistance. This leaves out struggles
of an interpersonal kind. There are many forms of struggle, but for simplicity’s
sake, let’s divide struggle into negative, positive, inevitable, and chosen.

so excited every morning is making you feel like a heavy weight now.

Stages of Learning to Say "No"
One of the most important skills we can learn that
will help us manage and fulfill our priorities is to say "No." Once we get
there, it becomes easier and easier, but initially it can be extremely awkward
and unpopular with others. Knowing the stages we’ll go through can help us
realize that what’s happening is natural and that its not just that we can’t
seem to do it.

Does this profile fit you? You carefully record
your dreams each morning because you are confident they contain important,
personally significant messages about your state of well being, pertinent
suggestions for life-choices, precognitive data, and other communiqués from
spirit. You lucidly participate in projections of consciousness, out-of-body
experiences. It is common for you to hear small whispers of recommendation, see
visions, or experience impulses towards specific courses of action that prove to
be physically and spiritually rewarding. If this profile, or even a portion of
it, fits you-then indeed, you are developing as a multi-sensory being.

We are spiritual and incorporate a body in the

early age of our spiritual life we encounter religious beliefs that gives
ethical encouragement but does not offer an upward path thereafter. As we
progress on this spiritual path we are introduced to spiritual traditions but
are never really shown how to get there.

Setting Your Mind for Success
"No, I can't do that." Throughout your lifetime,
how many times have you heard somebody said it to your face? Hundreds, thousands
or millions of times, perhaps. Sometimes, we express such skepticism out loud
too, particularly when we feel we do not have the skills or knowledge required
to perform a particular task.
Setting Professional Standards and
Boundaries
Professional standards are strong guidelines for
how you treat yourself within your business or career. They can include a code
of ethics, guarantees, how many hours you work, etc.
Setting High Personal Standards
In his book, "The 22 Non-Negotiable Laws of
Wellness," author Greg Anderson wrote, "Let us be about setting high standards
for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are
low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes
every day and every decade worth looking forward to."

Reflect Upon Your Harvest at Thanksgiving
I don't know about you, but at this time of year I
always think of work. It’s harvest time. Because of the years I spent in the
MidWest, I was around people who were harvesting produce, bringing in the crop
for the year. The quirks of nature notwithstanding, they would be reaping what
they had sown. The result of their work was visible, and commensurate to the
amount of effort and care they had put into it. They also had an ending. The
crop that had been planted was now being harvested. Then it would all begin
again.

Project the Energy to Succeed
I have a white cat named Frankie that thinks he's
a dog. He walks around the block with me like a dog. He eats dog food. And when
I clap my hands and say, "come on boy" he comes running. Amazingly when dogs
come up to him he doesn't run away. And strangely enough dogs never chase him.
While I see them chase other cats in the neighborhood they never chase my
Frankie. I often study Frankie and his interactions with the neighborhood dogs.
When they first meet Frankie, they always look confused. While the dog looks
skittish and nervous, Frankie just sits their calmly looking at the dog saying
"Why are you looking at me like I'm a cat? I'm not a cat. I'M A DOG, NOW TURN
AROUND AND GO FIND A TREE." I believe the dogs are confused because they are
seeing a cat but since Frankie is projecting the energy that he's a dog, they
don't know what to make of him. After a few encounters with Frankie, the dogs
don't seem nervous anymore. Frankie has made them believers and they simply
treat him like a dog.

Powering Up Your SUCCESS Mechanisms!
An effective self- concept generates the desire to

but it doesn't kick dogs and slap babies.
poK
In Beelzebub's Tales, Gurdjieff refers often to
the "crystallizations of the consequences of the properties of the organ
Kundabuffer" (poK). This special crystallization is not defined specifically,
but by-products of it are listed as "pride, vanity, self-love, egoism,
self-conceit, swagger, imagination, bragging, arrogance" and many more similar
terms. I have often heard Kundabuffer defined as an organ with special
properties that has since been removed, but I have not heard of anyone
investigating this ‘crystallization.?Since this crystallization is caused by our
surrounding conditions during our preparation for responsible existence, it is
in effect put into us mechanically; but it cannot be removed mechanically. I
submit that it cannot be removed unless we determine exactly what it is, since
for each of us the surrounding conditions were somewhat different.

PlayfulLiving
I was sitting on the beach the other day when I
saw a girl with her mom digging in the sand in front of me. They were giggling
as they dug their purple shovels into the sand. The girl seemed to be about 5,
and was full of life and joy. There was no right way to dig and she didn’t care
how messy she got.
Play To Win
There was a time in most of our lives when we had
no fear-that feeling when we jumped from the jungle gym and slammed our little
bodies to the ground. Perhaps it was when we went on our first roller coaster,
or when we were in high school or college and felt that there was nothing we
couldn’t do. No goal was unattainable. We were an unstoppable wave of energy
that would think of something and then make it happen
Personal Responsibility-Choosing a Better
Way
Any negativity that others (who we perceived as
older and wiser than ourselves) led us to believe about ourselves can be quite
debilitating to our growth and self-esteem when we are young. But, remaining
stuck in these beliefs can be even worse.
Paying Out of Appreciation or Obligation!
Copyright 2004
The attitude one has when paying for services
rendered is a subject that few people acknowledge or even consider, yet the
impact on the recipient goes far beyond simply writing a check or depositing
money into someone's account.
Pay it Forward
Every one has heard of random acts of kindness,
but not everyone has heard of the concept “Pay It Forward”. It came from author
Catherine Ryan Hyde in her book “Pay It Forward” released in January 2000.
Warner Brothers made it into a movie with the same title and this concept has
become a real worldwide social movement.
"Pass It Along"
Sitting on a Delta airlines jet waiting for
pushback from the gate, the senior flight attendant politely asked, "What can we
do for you?" I was silent for a moment as I thought about my reply as she
continued to speak, "Mr. Bauer, we checked your Delta file and you have about a
zillion miles, so it wouldn't do any good to offer you those. However, the
flight crew would really like to do something nice for you . . . maybe we could
all take you to dinner tonight -- on us?"
Optimism: The Tremendous Benefits of a
Positive Attitude
How many times have you heard someone say, “Hey,
cheer up!” or “Turn that frown upside-down!”? Unconsciously we all seem to know
that optimism is a virtue and that a negative outlook is something to be
concerned about. And did you know that there are actually a host of concrete
reasons why this is so?
Opportunity Knocks Every Day
You've heard people say that opportunity only
knocks once. I say it knocks a thousand times, or at least it can. The problem
is, we often don't listen, we don't see, or we don't want to work. The biggest
problem, though, is that opportunity really isn't opportunity, if you're not
ready for it.
Opening To Your Unlimited Potential
It is high time you know the truth about
yourselves. You can be whatever you desire, you can do whatever you think or
imagine. You have the magic key in your pocket, which opens the door to all your
highest dreams and wishes, the key, which opens the gates of prosperity and
abundance beyond your imagination.
One BIG Way To Increase Your Values and
Self-Esteem
One hour here, two hours there, even fifteen
minutes, it all adds up, and quickly too. Television is toxic to our self-
esteem. In fact, 90% of television programs are a depressant. That leaves only
10% as a stimulant. With such a high percentage of negativity fueling the
majority of this country television must play into the fact that anti-
depressant consumption is doubling by the year. So, if you are wondering why you
have low self-esteem, think about your television habits.
On the Wings of Joy
Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength
is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem
better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of influence.
On the Road to Becoming an Emotional
Giant! Copyright2003
During this holiday season if you find yourself
facing difficulties in regard to your business, or possibly struggling to meet
financial obligations, perhaps the challenge is giving you an opportunity to
develop emotional strength. While most individuals perceive success as something
tangible, such as developing a business, overcoming a physical challenge or
raising a healthy child, as you fully explore true success, at the heart of it
is your level of emotional strength.
Being Psychic is as Natural as Breathing
I used to avoid saying what I do for a living
because it can make people uncomfortable. They think I can see into their
lives, what they had for breakfast that morning and what they’ll be doing
tomorrow. I can, if I want to. But to look inside someone’s life without
invitation is trespassing and I prefer not to break these universal
principles. Besides, what value is there in filling my head with the
intimate details of others?lives? I’ve got enough to think about, wondering
what *I’m* going to be doing tomorrow...
Oh, The Power of Words!
You step up to the ticket counter at the movie
theater and say “One, please,” take your single ticket and sit your single self
down in the darkened theater. You munch from your single-sized bucket of
popcorn, sighing as you can’t help but notice all the loving couples all around
you, cooing, holding hands. Heck, even the ones who are bickering look happy to
you! You pop a single piece of popcorn into your mouth, and sigh your way
through yet another movie where somebody else got the guy. . . not you. . .never
you . . .sigh. . .
No Place like H.O.M.E.
A few years ago I was having dinner at a Hollywood
restaurant with several of my husband's childhood friends-- one of whom was a
movie producer who owned the restaurant, and another was some big deal in the
music industry. I gave meaning and importance to their glamorous titles. I
decided that they were better than me because they had money and celebrity. In
that rarefied air I felt oversized, underdressed, and at the same time puny and
invisible.
NO MORE VICTIM: STAND UP FOR YOURSELF IN
LIFE
How many times have you been victimized or
witnessed it happening to someone else? No matter what the particular situation,
someone is the victim while the other is the victimizer. This can develop into a
mind-set called “victim consciousness” that can become a pervasive trap that is
difficult to escape. It can result in a life filled with fear, anxiety and pain
devoid of authentic love.

Moving Forwards Despite Fear
Recently, I’ve been working with some clients who,
even though they have clear goals and want to move towards them, are held back
by the fearful boundaries of their comfort zone as surely as if they had a rope
tethering them to the ground. This is a very familiar feeling to me also,
especially when I first started my own coaching business.
Mountain-Moving Momentum
It can be challenging to think about going to the
next level. Especially when you're completely overwhelmed by the thought of
taking the next step. Are you catatonic? "Stuck on still"? Moving nowhere, fast?
Perfect! You are in excellent position to generate what I call, "mountain-moving
momentum." You see, mountain-moving momentum lets you start as you are. You may
already know that momentum keeps you in motion long enough to do what you desire
to do. Mountain-moving momentum is much more stronger than this. Mountain-moving
momentum empowers you by keeping you in motion long enough to do what no one -
including you - thought you could do. The fact is, it takes mountain-moving
momentum to achieve goals such as incredible fat-loss, stupendous financial gain
or presenting an ear-catching winning proposal. The more you have, regardless of
the size of the goal, the more quickly the goal is achieved.
Money & Spirituality - Do They Mix?
Money causes most people more emotional problems
than almost any other life issue. How many times have you heard that "Money
doesn't grow on trees", that "Money is the root of all Evil" or that anyone who
is rich must, by definition, be either a crook or extremely hard and tough? Most
people have extremely negative associations about Wealth and Money that were
gained subconsciously whilst growing up.

Living Your Dream Guilt Free
It is funny how sometimes we, as women, can be so
supportive of our spouse’s and children’s dreams. Putting in the back burner our
own desires with the notion that perhaps when our children leave the house or
when our husbands reach their goals it will be time to devote all our energy
pursuing our own dreams. Feeling the guilt of not being available 24/7 for those
we love can be our worst enemy. And before we realize it there are a few gray
hairs on our heads and time is slowly escaping us. I have a supportive husband
who not only encourages me to follow my dreams, but who cheers me along the way.
Why then is it so hard for me to pursue my dreams without feeling like I am
abandoning my family in the process? Why do I feel like there are not enough
hours in the day to do all the things I want to do? I only have one child, a
seven year old daughter named Vivian. I don’t want anymore children, despite the
constant pleading from my in-laws, because if I feel pressed for time with one

Guilt is the worst experience known to humans. It

explain that it is not a real feeling.
Little Things
What a week this is going to be, right?
Listening
For most of us our daily lives are a continuous
array of things to do. There are work commitments, family commitments, friends,
social activities, and whatever else we choose to spend our time in and on.
Lifelong Learning
How precious is life? Many of us don’t appreciate
our life until it is threatened. We are bombarded with advice about our physical
condition often at the expense of our mental state. The World Health
Organisation once defined ‘Health’ as a ‘complete state of physical and mental
well-being’. If we are to be truly healthy then I firmly believe we owe
ourselves a commitment to lifelong learning. To this end I often spend time
looking for books with content that challenges my accepted way of life. I spent
my youth and earlier days keeping myself fit. I spent hours practising sports
and pitting my strength against others who felt similar needs. I practised judo
and was fortunate enough to travel to other countries where I fought against
others from different nationalities. Nowadays my needs are different and I can
fulfil those needs with a jog or a long walk, stretching exercises and sensible
eating. However, those are my physical needs and I find I have continued my
quest to find answers to my self development in

Leap?And The Net Will Appear
In 1994, my life hit rock bottom. My husband was
addicted to crack cocaine, my 17 year-old son had just gotten his 15 year-old
girlfriend pregnant, we were about to get evicted from our home, I contracted a
life-threatening illness with no health insurance and my Mother died very
suddenly, and as her only child, the responsibility of this fell solely on me.
My emotional hole was so deep, I could not even imagine the light at the end of
the tunnel, let alone see it.
Know Thyself and Thy Business
I recently interviewed a prospective client. I
asked her to
Knock, knock ...
My mother had a little throw-away line she would
add to any statement that had to do with the future - holidays, babies on the
way, money expected - that kind of thing. She'd say, "If it's meant to be." My
dear mother died aged only 40, so perhaps she felt something the rest of us did
not.
Keys to an Unshakable New Self
Any weakness we may harbor in our present
character persists only because we have yet to see how its presence compromises
our happiness, but a growing awareness of this interior shakiness changes
everything. Our awakening stirs within us a Celestial Character created for the
purpose of transforming the soul's stumbling stones into the building blocks of
a whole new Unshakable Self.
Just Listen. Please!
When did you last do that? When did you last
listen to yourself? Is there a small voice inside you calling out “Just listen
to me” Just listen. Please”. “All I want is for you to listen to me”. “ I am
tired and fed up of continuing doing. Just stop for a moment and just listen.
Please”.
JUST A THOUGHT...
Few of us are the power-marketer who could sell
snow-cones to Eskimos. But, we want to be so we can build a huge pile of a
business! And most of us have a lifelong pent-up demand for freedom and success
that, once we find NM, we want it all right now! Then, we fumble around trying
to figure out how to make snow cones, how to get to where the Eskimos are, how
to become an Eskimo so they'll like us and want to buy our snow cones.

Imprisoned by Messages
It is a child-like state that results in having
one’s self-worth dependent on external validation. It’s about living from the

How to upgrade your ENERGY
What does your personal energy meter read? On a
scale of 1-10, with 10 representing “completely energized” and 1 indicating
“It’s a miracle you can get out of bed”, think about what your energy level is
right now? Now, think about what your meter reads most of the time? When I ask
these questions in my seminars I find that most people are between 4 and 7. I
can’t help but wonder why we aren’t all 10’s. Why are we all not exuding
boundless energy? Why is our potential energy far greater than our actual
energy? Perhaps William James said it best when he said, “Compared to what we
ought to be most of us are only half awake. We are only making use of only a
small part of our possible mental and physical resources.” Indeed we have so
much potential energy, yet, so many of us are not tapping into the energy
available to us. If you imagine yourself standing at the gas pump of life you’ll
see that during every moment of every day you have a choice between low grade
and high grade fuel. From the energy of food to the

dictated to us by Madison Avenue that demanded the expression of feelings with
store-bought cards and boxes of candy, mourned the fact that I had no “honey” at
the time, thought of the cards I should and should not have received on past

How to Create Wealth without Capital
As a young man Ron Holland was a budding
entrepreneur and set up his own motorcycle shop. Very quickly he over expanded
and ran into financial difficulties. He tried all the banks and the usual
Venture Capital routes in Run Around City, all to no avail. Ron then visualised
his practically empty motorcycle shops brimming with motorcycles. In actual
fact, in his imagination he saw so many bikes he couldn’t close the showroom
doors. Bikes were flooding in. He carried out his visualisation for three days.
On the third day it hit him Eureka!

Arnold Schwarzenegger. Abraham Lincoln. John F.
Kennedy. Martha Stewart. What do these names have in common? They have “IT”.
They have that mysterious quality I like to call the "IT Factor". What's that,
you ask, the "IT Factor"? The "IT Factor" is that elusive and singular quality
of empathizing with people on a personal level. No matter how big any of these
folks are or became, we can seem to relate to them - and they to us. They seem
to, at the very least, have their finger on the pulse of the ‘common man or
woman’.

Harness Your Emotional Power for Business
Success
Do you find yourself trying to make sense out of
the emotions you feel at work? Do you wish that you could get rid of the
"negative" emotions that you feel? Do you wish that your boss, co-workers,
clients and business partners or associates could change so that you don't have
to feel the way you feel? If you answered "Yes" to these question, you are not
alone. Emotions are a huge part of your work life. Whether positive or negative,
it's important to not only feel your emotions but pay attention to them. In
truth, your emotions are a flashing red light, warning you that it's time to
take your life to the next level.

Goal-Full or Soulful Success, Your Choice
In our striving to succeed, we set goals. Common
goals like earn more money, build a bigger business, lose some weight, remodel
or build that home, buy that boat or car, get more time off. I call these goals
“common” because we boil our definition of success down to the same goals
everyone else has. We see someone we consider successful and then, rather than
looking at how they are experiencing their life, we try to replicate the things
they have by setting our own goals. For instance, we say, “If I had a home like
that, I too would be successful.” But look at anyone you consider successful. No
matter how much or little they possess, if they are happy, joyful, and playful,
then I'm betting they have established a goal-free zone around their success.

GET YOUR NOSE OFF THE GRINDSTONE
Your alarm goes off - too early, much too early.
As you struggle your way out of your warm comfy nest, you say to yourself:
“Another day, another grind,” and off you go, to the land of work. It doesn’t
matter what kind of work, whether in an office, a factory, a home or on a space
ship, you’d love (no, let’s rephrase that), you’d be utterly passionate about
being able not to work. Get off that work treadmill. Forever. But life, it
seems, just isn’t going to let you get away with that one. You’re years away
from retirement (if that ever becomes a reality…) and somehow you don’t think
the bill collectors are going to make nice and forget to collect the rent.
Get Your Hands Dirty!
Most of us know the feeling of dieting for a week
or so, and then stepping on the scale and seeing a pound or two gone. It gives
you a feeling of “it was worth it”, doesn’t it?
Get to know yourself
You became what you believe you are.
GET THINGS OFF YOUR WORRY PLATE!
You’re running behind at work - which worries you,
understandably. You’re having to bring work home, which is interfering with your
family life - and that worries you, of course. Your kids, who are teenagers now,
are behaving like teenagers - and that really worries you. Plus your plumbing is
acting up, your car needs repair, there’s something wrong with your back tooth,
you’ve having trouble sleeping, your digestion isn’t up to par, and you've been
getting a lot of headaches lately - all of which worry you. You’re so tired of
worrying, you’re even worrying about worrying!
Get Motivated!

success? Does it seem like you're always going 2 steps forward, 1 step back?

Forgiveness is the Ultimate Weight Loss
While some people share their favorite sayings
with car bumper stickers there is a horse farmer in North East Florida who
shares his own profound quotes by posting signs for thousands of drivers to see
on the way to and from work. This past week he posted a sign that said,
"Forgiveness is the Ultimate Weight Loss". It made me think about a woman at one
of my seminars who said she lost 180 lbs immediately after she ended a bad
relationship. Wow, I thought, that's some serious weight loss. "Well," she said,
"that's how much he weighed." Sure there are many diets out there trying to help
us lose weight but what many of us need to go on is a NEGATIVE ENERGY DIET. If
you've ever ended a negative relationship or quit a job you absolutely hated or
forgiven someone... you know what it means to remove negative energy, the kind
that weighs you down like a ton of bricks, from your life. After you rid this
person, job or resentment from your life you literally felt lighter and freer.

Fighting Terror with Forgiveness
Let’s face it: most people probably think of
forgiveness as the last resort of losers. It’s what you’re left with after
you’ve been victimized and can’t figure out a way to inflict revenge. If there’s
no way to even the score, then you might as well settle for feeling a little
better about yourself by becoming noble. And if you forgive what happened to
you, maybe someday you can forget all about it. Or, maybe whoever hurt you will
eventually feel guilty about what they did, and come begging for your
forgiveness. Then you get to decide whether they deserve it. (Probably not!)
Fight Terror, Improve Education
A War on Terrorism? Conventional war being brought
on an unconventional enemy is ineffective out of date. Building these countries
up to a certain level of stability, and allowing them to take over and govern
themselves is part of the Presidents plan. If we think the need help getting to
build a stable and profitable country in the world market, than let’s say what
we mean and just do it. Weapons of mass destruction if we had enough evidence to
invade Iraq we should have hit those sights first and had those weapons in the
first days. Oh, they must have hidden them, well how did we know about them in
the first place. It has been more than two years since the bold and terrible
attack on the World Trade Towers, and we are chasing shadows here and there.

The new year can be a particularly stressful time.
The lack of sunlight wears on us and the holidays might have been a little
hectic and detrimental to our overall health. This is the time of year when
we're encouraged to take our inner inventory and make plans and assertions for
the coming year and beyond. It's a time to assess what is working in our lives
and what needs to be changed. Perhaps this is a good time to add some new tools
to the transformational/healing basket.
Ending the War: Peace Between Head and
Heart
We have believed a dangerous lie. We have accepted
that the head is more reliable and more sensible than the heart. We have
believed that should we follow our hearts, our lives will be ruined because the
heart only gets us into trouble. We have been well taught that when head and
heart are in tension, we must go with the cool reason of the head and ignore the
hot passions of the heart. Yes, if we use our heads and ignore our hearts, we
will stay out of trouble.
Encouraging Blossoms of Achievement
The tiny dogwood sapling was only a twig when my
mother planted it years ago. At age four, with a red wagon and bucket, I was
happy to carry water to anything that grew, even to the full grown, flowering
apple trees in my grandfather's orchard.
Empower Yourself Through Illness!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 41.
Emotional Intelligence Coaching: Not Just
for Athletes Any More
It’s common knowledge that athletes must have
trainers and coaches. It’s a long tradition, not even questioned. The results of
the coaching are also obvious … athletes engage in physical actions, and one can
easily see the results. They are using what’s called “gross motor skills” -
hitting balls, pole vaulting, knocking opponents out, or running touchdowns.
Athletes are by definition in win-lose situations, where the outcome is
verifiable.
Emotional Intelligence & Addiction: 10 Key
Points
"Between stimulus and response, there is a space.
In that space lies our freedom and power to choose our response. In our response
lies our growth and freedom." -- Victor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning
Embracing Reality
Acceptance simply means "EMBRACING WHAT IS".
Acknowledging the "what is"......may include yourself, your spouse, significant
other, job, house, health or a set of circumstances. With ACCEPTANCE, we embrace
PEACE. And, it's in this peace that miracles happen.

Eight Steps to Taking Control of Every
Situation in Your Life!
Like it or not, we are all gladiators. We go to
sleep and wake up in a social arena from which there is no escape. Challenge
upon challenge confronts us, walls restrain us, and a mob of spectators mocks,
sneers, or cheers us. Each and every day brings new battles whether we want them
or not and whether we're up to them or not. Life forces us to face one skirmish
after another - no choice in the matter.

Eating Disorder Early Recovery: "How Do I
Begin?" The 84,000 Ways
Eating disorders are reaching epidemic proportions
in the United States and other countries. The disorders affect both genders,
people of all ages and ethnicities. Eating disorders reach into any education
level, professional achievement position, and social status. They jeopardize
careers, education, families and the medical complications can be life
threatening.
Drive Gently Over the Stones
I’ve been studying proverbs from around the world
in order to produce an inspirational PowerPoint. There are some beautiful slide
shows out there, and as far as I’m concerned there can’t be enough of them, and
I’ve not seen one with great proverbs, of which there are plenty.
Dreams and Hopes of Spirit
Sometimes it's important to look at things through
the eyes of a child. That way, we are able to see life and our experiences in a
simpler way--without being complicated. If we search too deeply and try to
explain concepts philosophically, we tend to get lost and forget what we really
want to know.
MISERY LOVES COMPANY
You were terminated from your job. Oh, how you
hate that word - terminated! Why don’t they call it like it is: you were fired!
Unjustly, for no good reason (other than the boss wanted a job for his new love
interest), with virtually no warning. You--who gave 10 good years to the
company. You of all people. You are outraged, miserable, and only too willing to
tell the tale to anyone who will listen - and to some who have now heard it 100
times.
Don't Die With your Dreams Still Inside
You
I write and talk a lot about dreams. Primarily
because I know they serve an awesome and amazing purpose. We all have a desire -
a dream - to do something great, go somewhere incredible, achieve the
unachievable, beat the unbeatable or meet the "unmeetable." Unfortunately, more
often than not, most dreams remain unrealized; silenced by fear and doubt.
What's needed is a renaissance to recapture the spirit and belief we once had as
children. We need to remind ourselves in all that we desire to do, be and
have... "I can, if I think I can."
Does It Really Matter?
We are all involved in this game called life and
we will have our challenges and successes. One thing that will have great
bearing on our attitude and lives is how we treat those challenges and
successes.
Do You Spend Your Life Floating On de Nile
River?
Do You Spend Your Life Floating On de Nile River?
By Jan Tincher
Do You Inspire or Incinerate?
Throughout my career, I have asked managers what
they look for in hiring new employees. The single most sought after
characteristic is a positive attitude. Knowledge can be learned but a positive
attitude cannot be taught and is recognized as being critical for success. Yet,
if attitude is so important, why do we do so much to destroy it? (I use we,
because as a manager, I was guilty of having done some of the very things I have
outlined below.) The following are some things I have learned that will enhance
or destroy a positive attitude.
Do You Have Scary Thoughts About Terrorism?
Anthrax? Bombs?
When you think of all the things that terrorists

Divine Discontent (The Urge to Create)
Hidden deep within our spirit is an urge, while
encouraging in nature it produces a fiery and constantly distractive
undercurrent that cannot be quenched in part but must be extinguished entirely
before we realize "the peace that passeth understanding".
DIVINE CHILD

Dispelling Illusions
If you’d like to know one of the biggest pitfalls
of life and how to avoid it remember one axiom, Substance over Illusion.
Disempowerment
“Disempowerment”. What does it mean? It is the act
of you taking away your own personal power! You are actually the only person who
can. When you use certain words and think certain thoughts you “DIS”-empower
yourself and make everything harder than it needs to be in your life.
Disease or Not? Does It Matter
Questions about the disease theory of alcoholism
and addiction surface quite regularly, and usually it's forgotten that it was
the American Medical Association who attached the label to drunkards in the
first place. AA, while certainly open to the notion has, for the most part,
preferred to focus on recovery than on the causes of alcoholism.
Discovering YOU CAN
What has people feel empowered? What has people
make things happen?
Discovering Opportunity in Times of
Challenge
You may be facing a type of disappointment,
frustration, loss, or general sadness. It is in these times you can immediately
begin to search for the counterbalancing positive to it. This is a flawless
universal law: an opposite condition must emerge to offset the initial
condition.

BUSINESS AND LIFE Can There Be Any Other Business Like Your Own Business?

Developing an Opportunity Mindset
Your positive mental attitude is the key to your
success.
Define Yourself!
People have emotions and emotions are contagious.
How you conduct yourself and what values you live by define your culture, just
as they do the other person's. Businesses have cultures and so do groups,
committees, clubs, organizations and any situation where two or more people are
together.
Dealing With Difficutl People - Know Any?
Difficult people. You know - those ones that push
your buttons. The ones that you’d like to haul off and slug because they so
deserve it. Not so many years ago, I used to be called Rambo, so trust me, I
know inappropriate responses. I eventually found out that using these kinds of
behaviors actually put me in a place that I didn’t want to be. I had become the
difficult person.

that life of success that you are after? Does that lifestyle seem to be slipping
away the more you chase it?
COURAGE
“Courage is being scared to death - but saddling
up anyway.” - John Wayne
Control Your Fear Before It Controls You
"Fear Factor" is one of my favorite TV shows. It
highlights the courage of the participants to engage in the most fearsome and
disgusting acts.
Consciously Flowing Appreciation:
Developing Your "Gratitude Muscle"
We’ve all had days when, for whatever reason, we
seem to find ourselves living unconsciously, guided by outworn beliefs and
feeling stuck in lower-energy vibrations. When these times occur, you can help
yourself to shift into higher alignment by remembering the power of
appreciation.
CONQUERING THE PEAK
One by one, the great peaks of the world are being
conquered. Modern climbers are no more physically adept than early climbers, but
they have taken advantage of new methods and technologies. If we are to be
successful climbing the mountain of life, we must do the same thing.
Confidence Building Steps That Work Like

Self-confidence is your assessment of your own
self-worth. It plays a large part in determining your happiness through life. So
how do you create confidence? Well here's a surprise - you take action! If you
don’t currently have much self-confidence, let’s explore the options on how to
cultivate this trait within your life.
Community after Tragedy
One Friday in November, I began a journey from New
Jersey to downtown New York City to visit old work friends. It was my first
visit since the tragic September 11th attack. Although I've traveled this same
route--the commuter train to the Hoboken station from 1996-2000--there were now,
of course, changes in the environment when I got to Hoboken.
Common Myths About Self-Defense and
Martial Arts
Whenever I mention that I teach self-defense
courses, I get a reaction reflecting the listener’s personal beliefs. These run
the gamut from enthusiasm, to apprehension, and rarely, derision. The point is,
most people have some preconceived ideas about what self-defense training is,
and whether there is any value to it. Another common factor that comes up, is
that many people have a latent interest in learning some sort of self-defense,
but haven’t pursued it for a variety of reasons. In this article, I’d like to
address some of the myths and misconceptions surrounding self-defense training.
Hopefully this will encourage more people to look into a martial art or
self-defense training, as there are all sorts of good reasons to do so.

Coach Do?

Choose to Be a Positive Force
Your life is maintained by energy that constantly
pours into you and through you. Where does this energy come from? Some would say
that it comes from the cosmic energy that pervades the universe and is an
essential element of all matter. Those who are spiritually inclined might say
that the gift of life and the energy that sustains it ultimately come from God.
Choose Freedom Within
Recently I was filling my car at a gas station
after work. The city was experiencing an unusually high rate of thefts of fuel.
Gas and runs. In order to combat this problem some stations with rear pumps
required the driver to prepay with credit or debit card on that pump. This was
due to the lack of visibility of the license plate. I finished filling up and
went inside to pay (I was on a front pump).
Choice vs. Decision
Who is in charge of my life?
Chinese Gooseberries and Oprah?
Few individuals have neither understood, nor have
even come close to emulating Oprah's success and ability to ingeniously-but
simply-reinvent. Let's all learn from the expert.
Change the World
It is becoming clear that the way a country or
society is, the kind of “psyche” it has, depends on the way people relate to
each other one-to-one, at the day-to-day level of life.
Challenge Life
As I talked with my 85 year old Grandpa Eddy the
other night he told me that he still likes mowing his lawn. "I mow the front
first. Then I take a break and mow the back. I look at it as a challenge not a
chore," he said. Then he added "When mowing my lawn becomes a chore and I have
trouble doing it, then I'll ask for help". "Challenge" not a "chore" stuck in
mind. How many of us go through life as if it's a chore. We drag ourselves out
of bed, into our cars and to our jobs. We struggle through life either resisting
the power and potential of the present moment or passively accepting our current
situation-like a child being told by his father to weed the lawn.

Can Your Ideas Really Make You a
Millionaire?
What would you say to me if I told you that I
owned the moon and I'd be willing to sell you some land there at a good
price...You'd probably think I were nuts or tell me to get lost, right? Why the
heck would anyone buy land on the moon? Now, what if I told you that someone has
already tried this? And, what if I told you that he is now a multi-millionaire
and soon to be a billionaire due to his moon real estate deals?
Can You Spare Some Change?
Did you know that many of us are just as
uncomfortable when a stranger us asks us for "some change" as we are when we ask
ourselves for change?
Can People Really Ever Change?
When is it time to change? When you become aware
of dissatisfaction in your life. What causes people to examine how they got
caught up in their present situation? Often a word from a friend-not always a
kind word either-a book you read, a speaker you heard. It begins when it occurs
to you there may be hope for a better life. It begins when you believe there is
a better way. It is the first ray of hope.
Building Resilience
One of the most important things we can have is
resilience. It means being able to bounce back after failures, setbacks and
losses. We all face problems, and how we deal with them makes a profound impact
on the remainder of our life. Here are the attributes of a resilient person,
according to Dr. Tian Dayton.

Bigger Fish To Fry
Last month I was on another adventure, fishing Dog
Lake in Northern Ontario. That trip really brought home to me the power of the
Law of Attraction.
Big O
Growing up, I remember my Dad had some really
great friends. They had the most amazing, positive and magnetic energy.
Arguably, they were also among the "coolest" of their time. One in particular,
is not only admired by me, but by countless others who affectionately know him
as, "Big O."
Benefits of Adversity
When calamities come our way, we are resentful. We

would have died as an old prophet and would have been forgotten long ago.

Believing in a New Room
Seeing a great performance inspires me to no end.
I'm moved by others' dreams and by their devotion and courage in the pursuit of
excellence. I get choked up when I see a kid, or anyone else, fighting hopeless
odds - someone who goes out there to run the lonely roads with a dream in the
heart, a gleam in the eye, and a goal in mind. I admire those who have the
courage to step up to the line of a great race to run their heart out for a
dream." - from Racing the Antelope, by Bernd Heinrich
Being Spiritual Means Taking a Stand
As each of us accelerates on the spiritual path,
becoming one with our Higher Self, it is of paramount importance that we take a
stand, and graciously speak out whenever we see injustice in any form.
Being Authentic
Most people live their entire lives never finding
their authentic self. They never find the person they were meant to be, nor do
they develop themselves to their greatest potential. Unfortunately this is much
easier said than done, for it takes time and effort to undo programmed habits
and ways of living.
Beginnings Are Seldom as Complicated as
They Seem
Beginnings are seldom as complicated as they seem.
You know what I mean by “complicated - the dates and the duties and the
things-to-be-remembered, the stuff that piles onto your plate with a new project
or obligation. Whether it’s an urgent justice issue, a medical diagnosis forcing
a changed lifestyle, or the work of starting a new job, the message is that a
whole bunch of stuff HAS to be done, and you are the only one to do it, and do
it NOW!

Be "You-nique"!
Be "You-nique"!
Be an Age Rebel!
You look in the mirror, expecting to see that same
not-perfect-but-familiar face - and freak! That’s not you, that couldn’t be you!
That face staring back at you has a wrinkle, right there, at the corner of your
eye. You’ve never had a wrinkle. You can’t have a wrinkle, already! Here you
are, all of 32, and already you have crow’s feet. That’s it, life is over.
Be Abundant…Set a New Mental Equivalent
Limiting beliefs, just like positive, empowering
thoughts, provide a foundation for our experiences and what we demonstrate. Old
beliefs can leave us behind - and are often stale, lingering ideas left-over
from our childhood experiences or from other areas of life that no longer carry
any useful meaning. Abandoning negative assumptions about lack opens room to
develop an abundant mindset. We can do that by setting a new mental equivalent
that resets the dial on our trust channel - the channel we listen to that tells
us to trust that we already have everything. A belief system must change in
order to create a new reality.
Bad Luck ... Or Blessing In Disguise?
There was a woman who was in such a hurry to go to

her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going on a different route.
Avoid the Top 5 Resolution Pitfalls
Avoid the Top 5 Resolution Pitfalls
ASK and you will succeed!
People are leaving the corporate environment for
entrepreneurship, establishing small businesses to begin their solo journey in
droves. We're taking up the mighty pen (or more accurately, the keyboard) to
give voice to something: creating home-grown websites, in the hopes of
establishing long-term relationships that will render the rewards of prosperity,
with the assumption that any website and any word will do the job in our search
for success. Hope springs eternal - but for what?
Are You Ready For Change?
As a hypnotherapist, I have people come to me who
want to improve their lives. Many of them succeed with their goals. But some of
them aren't ready for the change they think that they want. For instance, I had
a client who wanted to stop smoking. He quit with very little problem, but a
couple of weeks later he started smoking again. When I asked him, "After what
you went through to quit, why did you start again?" He replied that he just
thought he'd like to have one. And he continued to smoke.

Appreciation Works!
Things just have not been going well at work
lately. A new co-worker is kissing up to the boss and the boss is eating it up.
You can see your shot at a promotion going swiftly down the drain. Your "task
list" (who comes up with these PC cover-ups for more work, anyway?) is ever
increasing, and your unpaid overtime along with it. And then you come home.
Well, you sort of come home. Your car bumps along in need of repair, or the
train is so crowded you can barely breathe. When you finally turn the key in the
lock of your home sweet home, you're greeted by a pile of bills, chores you
don't want to do and a cranky spouse who is just as overworked as you.
Anxiety! I Have It. I Don't Want It. Now
What?
In anxious situations, you will react emotionally,
cognitively and behaviorally. The following are examples of how you might
experience these situations:
Animal Spirit card Wisdom
To our past ancestors, the animal held great
spiritual power and symbolic meaning. In Native American culture, mythology and
ancient civilizations, each animal is embodied with its own symbolic meaning and
held its own unique spiritual power.
Alone But Not Lonely
In today’s fast paced society, we’ve become
accustomed to filling the eeriness of silence with fluff. We turn to many
distractions as a means of escaping feelings of idleness or boredom. But the
main thing we wish to elude is loneliness. Solitude does not have to alienating
or lonesome. In fact, solitude and loneliness are distinctly separate.
All I Want for Chritmas Is My Son Back
The holidays are upon us … and how they churn up

Accessing Your Higher Mind
The more we stay connected to our higher mind -
which we also call the Universe, the source, or spirit - the more we strengthen
and build that crucial bridge between ourselves and our higher consciousness.
While we’re all born connected to this divine awareness, we have a tendency to
pull away from what was once natural. It’s reasonable to assume that when we
become disconnected from our higher mind, the source that once nourished us will
be replaced with another source or substitute. In other words, the connection
could be with food, alcohol, nicotine, co-dependency to someone, or even work -
hence the term workaholic. Many of us spend our lives trying to fill that void
which was created when the link was broken.
