You're Right!
You’re Right!: Thinking the Right Way to Your Greatness!
Your Mountains
What is the mountain in your life? Or is it an entire mountain range? This basically applies to the challenges in your life.
Your Life The Leaf
You brush by it every day on your way to the car or the store. It sits mutely, unnoticed and unobstrusive. Perhaps sometimes you give it a glance, and if it’s done something notable, like change color or sprout a new leaf, you give it a closer look. But even these feats are commonplace, so more often than not you don’t notice them either. Then one day the winter winds blow all the leaves away, and the branches are naked. You’re not quite sure what you’re missing, but you know you’re longing for something.
Your Life Is Like A River!
Your life begins small, something like the drops of rain which become small streams and eventually great rivers which flow into the ocean.
Your Imagination, the Ultimate Success Tool
In order to achieve your goals and attain new levels of success, put your imagination to work. Get into the habit of visualizing your goals as if they are already happening. Talk to yourself as if you are already achieving that success that up until now you've only dreamed of.
YOUR DREAMS MIGHT BE MUCH CLOSER THAN YOU THINK
In his classic book, "Think And Grow Rich", best-selling author Napoleon Hill tells the story of a man who put everything he had into the search for oil, but every shaft he sank stayed dry. Eventually, after many unsuccessful tries, and with his funding and his patience both exhausted, he gave up, and to cut his losses sold the land and the equipment to a rival.
You Hit the Jackpot!!! Now stop gambling your time and money away.
Have you ever heard someone say, “I don’t have the money” or “I don’t have the time.” Have YOU ever said that to other people? Here’s a bold statement: Time and money are never issues - they are only excuses. Why? Because both time and money are concepts we, as humanity, have invented. They really don’t exist.
You Gotta Be Positive!
Remember Des’ree? She had a great song out in 1994, entitled ‘You Gotta Be’. It was one of the most uplifting, encouraging and energizing songs I’d ever heard. Don’t’ believe me? Well, here is the chorus: “You Gotta Be Bad, You Gotta Be Bold, You Gotta Be Wiser. You Gotta Be Hard, You Gotta Be Tough, You Gotta Be Stronger. You Gotta Be Cool, You Gotta Be Calm, You Gotta Stay Together. All I Know, All I Know, Love Will Save the Day.” Now, repeat that to yourself 10 times (or better yet, buy the CD) and tell me how you feel. Bet you start feeling better. Bet you want to start dancing around the room (especially if you're listening to the CD!).
YOU CAN!!!
YOU CAN!!!!!
You are Magic
“Magic (ma-jic): an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source”. The attempt to define magic is difficult at best. It is used more as a word to define, than one that can be defined. The same can be said for who you are. We attempt to define ourselves, yet no adequate words exist to describe the complexity of who we are. We can describe what we look like, the type of work we do, our ethnic heritage or gender. Yet, that comes nowhere near the truth of what animates your being. You are a mystery. You are magic.
World Peace Starts with Inner Peace
Inner peace. Is that possible? I mean, doesn't the word "peace" sort of conjure up the feeling of boredom? If we're at peace, then that means nothing bad is going on, right? Not necessarily, and I'll explain why in a bit. But inner peace is not an easy thing to have, let alone to have at every moment! However, it is imperative to have if you are to live your life to the fullest.
Working on Your Fears
As children, my brother, two sisters and myself we were not allowed to bring anything in the house that even resembled a snake. I remember once being at Geauga Lake, an amusement park near the Cleveland Ohio area and I had won a stuffed pink snake playing Ring Toss. This was a class trip and I knew I couldn't bring it home so I gave the snake to one of my friends. Snakes in any shape or form was not allowed in our house.
Work as a Place of Power
Each day the world is at work: working for ourselves, for others, indoors, outdoors—a myriad of situations exist. On the surface, we can look at our work as a means of survival. Our wages pay for food, shelter, necessities, luxuries and even, fun. In this article, I propose a new way of looking at work. Your work is a place of power. At work you have a wealth of opportunity to increase your self-knowledge and sense of self-esteem. At work, you can grow by embracing the learning available to you there. What does this learning look like? We start with the premise that it is about personal power. In your workplace there are many challenges that, if taken, will allow you to grow as a person and as a professional who understands the game. I am a personal and professional coach. In my work with clients, I see them presented constantly with situations and interactions in their workplace that are about power. One may have a boss who underestimates their abilities and frequently belittles them. Another may find themse
Winding Your Spiritual Clock
As we evolve our consciousness, we also evolve a special gift. We become closer to the mysteries. We’re more in touch with the elemental flow, with the sacred and hidden pulse that makes life happen, with the synchronicities that make the wheel spin.
WHY?
Did you know that this little three-letter word might be one of the most powerful of all? Why simply requires a person to stop and make sure that the way we’ve always done it is still the way we should do it now. Why is the reason we don’t have flat globes. It’s the reason we don’t still go outside to pee. Why is not a bad word. It’s what you do with the information you discover and how you ask why that determines your good or bad behavior. There may be a perfectly good reason that my 4 year old feels she should be standing on top of my 2 year old. Nevertheless, it’s worth asking why. When you were two, you were probably an all star sales person because you asked why about everything. It was the fit you threw on aisle 4 at Wal Mart that showed your immaturity; not the fact that you asked why. When I think of asking Why, I usually think of asking others why they do things. But what better place to start than with yourself? You are in total control because you get to ask the question, discover the answer, and d
Why Positive Thinking Doesn't Work!
There was someone I used to work with who, well aware of their tendency to look at the negative side of things, used to constantly tell themselves to "think more positively".
Why Creative Visualization Works
Experience has shown that creative visualization works. It is quite possible to prove that circumstances and events follow thoughts. Take any situation or happening in your life, and go back to find what kind of thoughts preceded the event. You will find out that a particular event, followed particular thoughts.
Whose Standards?
By whose standards do we live our lives? Much depends on the circumstances in which we find ourselves.
Who Is The "Ultimate Expert" In Your Life?
In truth, right now, you are the ultimate expert in your life. If you don't recognize that you are it is only because you have allowed the so called experts outside yourself to take control of your life. You have allowed them to baffle you with their "bull dung" when they couldn't dazzle you with their brilliance.
When You Know What 'IS' Does Not Work
What your life has made you, so far, must have been based on what other people told you. Their experiences, rules, traditions, customs and perceptions may have been too limited.
What Is The Meaning Of Life?
The purpose of life is that which you give it. Its meaning is different for each and every one of us. My definition of the meaning of life is very likely not the same as yours. You may agree with some parts of what I consider to be the intent of life, however it is unlikely you will agree with everything I propose concerning this matter.
What Is The Key To Success?
Is it knowledge, money, physique, intelligence, persistence, commitment, charisma, enthusiasm, skill, desire, need or attitude?
What is Meaningful Work?
When you do what you love, it doesn’t feel like work. Yes, effort will be required. You may work very very hard. But since you love it, it gives you energy, instead of draining you.
What Is Happiness?
Does your happiness depend on getting rid of or getting or achieving something?
What is Fear Costing You?
Last week I had the opportunity to serve as an advisor for
What Is Average?
You might say that, on an average, if a person has one foot on a hot stove and the other in a bucket of ice, he is comfortable. See the fallacy in that statement?
What Is Applied Faith?
One of the principles of success is Applied Faith. What does that mean to you? The American Heritage Dictionary defines Faith as "1. Confident belief in the truth, value, or trustworthiness of a person, an idea, or a thing. 2. Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. The Bible (NKJV) says it like this "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Hebrews 11-1. Napoleon Hill says "that Faith is a state of mind which may be enjoyed only by those who have learned the art of taking full and complete control of their minds!"

Want to move faster? Create your own ritual
Have you ever noticed that authors of "how-to" best-sellers created their own rituals? They design their own form of visualization, affirmation, or just walking outdoors. Creating a ritual adds energy and purpose to your goals far more powerfully than following someone else's.

Should you be seeking real excitement, try calming the tornado of thoughts flying through your mind. That is the heighth of excitement.

Unemployment Blues: Containing Anxiety
It hangs from the ceiling above your bed while you toss through the night hours. It waits inside the door of every employment office you enter. It dogs your footsteps as you pound the job search pavement. It lounges in an empty chair as you crawl through another desultory interview. It sits on your shoulder while you balance your checkbook's alarmingly diminishing balance.

Top Ten Ways to Attract Prosperity
"The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." - William James
Through The Eyes Of A Child
I have often wished to once again be able to see the world through the eyes of a child. The child has a natural curiosity and awe of the mysteries of the world. It wants to know the why and how of everything. It has prejudged nothing. All is fresh and new.
Thomas Edison Can Help You Keep Your New Year's Resolutions
It is the time of year when people are talking about New Year resolutions. It is also the time of year when many resolutions have already been broken. Chances are if you’ve made a resolution you have already struggled to keep yourself committed to it.
This Side Of The Rainbow
I recently took a ride to the video store to select my evening’s entertainment. A dramatic thunderstorm was passing over as I made my way across town in the middle of late afternoon rush hour traffic.
There’s got to be more meaning
Has it ever happened to you to feel like there’s got to be more meaning to what you’re doing? It’s one of those strange feelings: You can’t quite put your finger on what it is, but you know it’s something important. You don’t quite know how to pursue it, but you feel that, if you did, it would make a big difference in your life.
Theodicy
In the Western Hemisphere, every minute of the day, 123 people die from hunger, poverty, disease, plagues, famine, flood, accidents or other calamities. If the universe was created by a loving, all- powerful creator, why do these things happen? Either God is not able to stop these calamities in which case He is not all powerful or He allows these things to happen in which case he is not perfectly good. THEODICY IS AN ENQUIRY HOW EVIL CAN EXIST IN A UNIVERSE CREATED BY AN ALL POWERFUL, BENEVOLENT GOD.
The Universal ATM: How to Attract Art, Time, and Money
When I recently surveyed many people about their truest desires, there were several themes that run consistently through the surveys like rivers in the rain: people want to have more creativity, more money, and more time.
The tyranny of "What if...?"
What you worry about determines the course of your life. Free yourself from the tyranny of your negative "What if..." scenarios, and you will discover that you have everything to lose, and everything to gain!

The Top Ten Things I Learned from Mister Rogers
Fred Rogers has received virtually every major award in television and dozens of others from special-interest groups in education and early childhood, and he's one of my heroes. He makes everyone feel special and valued. Here are the top 10 things I learned from Mister Rogers:
The Self-Care Minder on Transitions
"I don't know what I want (in my career / creative passion / relationships/ all of the above)."
The Self-Care Minder on Transitions
"I don't know what I want (in my career / creative passion / relationships/ all of the above)."
The Resilience of a Sponge
Our ability to “Bounce Back” and move forward is an attribute which provides confidence and security to face life’s most challenging situations. The analogy of a bouncing ball rebounding in spite of adversity is a powerful metaphor as is the resiliency of a sponge. While the physical characteristics of a bouncing ball and a sponge are very different, there are noteworthy similarities.
THE RECOVERY OF AN INTELLIGENT AND COURAGEOUS MAN
"I am not very special, though I'm generally a friendly and honest sort of person. I'm not much worse or better than the average person in the street, though if I have a drug again I will be a danger to you, to myself and to society.
The Power Of Your Words
You are where you are in your life right now because of the power of words.
the POWER of WORDS
"The Power of Words" was the theme of one of my speaking engagements that I had scheduled in Atlanta. Little did I know that I would personally go through a challenge, that had me live what it is that I teach.
The Power of Perhaps
Do you find that every time you think about making a change in your life you sabotage yourself by thinking it is unlikely that you'll be able to do it? Do all the negative, self-limiting thoughts come to the forefront and stop you in your tracks? You must learn to change these self-imposed limitations that are preventing you from reaching your potential. Then you can transform your life and achieve your dreams.
The Power Of No!
How often do we find ourselves in awkward situations we could have avoided simply by saying "no"? It is only after getting into those situations that we remember the simple act of saying "no" would have kept us totally out of them.
The Power Of I Don't Know
In our modern world we are taught at a very early age that knowing is much more attractive than not-knowing.
The Power of Expectation
If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right. - Henry Ford
The Power of Beliefs
The way that we think,the ideas that we nurture,the patterns of thought that we possess all impact directly on the results that we achieve in our lives.We are told that each one of us has about 10000 different thoughts a day,the question to ask is what control do we exercise over our thinking processes?
The Peaceful War of Existence. c. Nov 2000
The word ‘WAR’ seems to frighten a lot of folks. I must admit that, those that wage war need to understand that there are no winners, just some lose less. Does that mean we do not have the right to defend ourselves from aggressors? Certainly Not, the opposite is true. We need to understand what a credible fight is and why it is necessary. We have to comprehend who we are and how our bodies function. Every day ‘war comes into our live’s even though we are unaware of it’s presence and presents as a ‘war’
The Park - A short story about self-image
The other day I was reflecting on life’s journey. In my youth I had looked at life as a straight path. My goal was always clear in my mind as to my spiritual direction. Then, as the saying goes, “life happened? Now, in my forties, I sense that life is more like a maze than a straight path. Certain turns do lead to dead ends. At first I looked at these missteps as time lost. Today, however, I see them as valuable, even sacred, steps in what constitutes “my path?
THE NON-ENDING NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
The following stories are excerpts from Dr. Madeleine Singer's book "Insights."
The Most Valuable Psychology Principle I Have Ever Found
Sometimes we can run across a piece of knowledge that proves to be extremely valuable in our lives. In all of my 37 years of study and involvement in psychology, there is one principle that keeps coming up over and over again because of how valuable it has been in my understanding and having control over what goes on in my heart. And of course having that kind of control is very valuable because what goes on in our heart has a tremendous impact on how pleasant or unpleasant our experience of life will be.
The Magic of Positive Thinking
Yes, there is magic in positive thinking! In aviation, the word attitude means the angle at which the plane meets the wind, whether the wings are level with the horizon, and whether it is climbing or descending. The pilot who fails to take responsibility for the attitude of his aircraft is in serious trouble. And likewise, any person who has not taken charge of his or her own beliefs and attitudes runs a similar risk. The key to cultivating and maintaining a positive mental attitude is to take control of your thinking and avoid negative minded people. It’s a challenging task to develop a calm, focused mind, but well worth the effort.
The Long Shot That Captured America's Heart
In the 1930's the realities of the Great Depression drove deep into most men's hearts. At the time the average American worker was earning about 0 a year. At least those who were fortunate to find work.
THE LAZY WAY TO TREAT
We treat for "happiness and love". Sure, we add some "things" now and then, but mostly we treat for happiness and love. And since we've been doing that, we've never had a day go by without being thankful for it when we go to bed at night, nor wake in the morning without gratitude for another day.Sure it may sound like the lazy way. It seems too easy, too simple, it doesn't require the hands-on details, we don't have to treat for every single thing we want to happen every day.
The Key's in the Hole. Now turn it!
"90% of the positives are lost because you were too shy to ask."
The Illusion of Happiness
When I ask people what they want they invariably request that they would choose more love, more money, and more often than not they want more happiness. This led me to question, “What is happiness?

The Coach Approach
When you use what you go through to grow through, you take the coach approach. I am suggesting that you hire your own counsel. After all, who else knows your dreams, goals, and intentions better than you do? Who else has access to your inner compass?
The Changing Face of Corporate Management – Making Six Sigma Work For You

Ten Tools to Boost Your Self-Worth
As I prepared my educational sessions each week I noticed a trend I could not deny. No matter what subject I selected, whether it was honesty, denial, defenses or boundaries the core issue always returned to a lack of self-worth. If the clients felt a sense of self-worth, there would be no reason to be dishonest, use denial, react defensively or exercise inappropriate boundaries. My educational sessions would start with the regular subjects, but would end with tools to boost self-worth. Of course Alcohol and Drug recovery requires much more than renewed self-worth, but the addition of self-worth can prove to be a valuable asset in the war against relapse.
Swimming Upstream...
One of the biggest lessons that I have learned in this life is how futile it is to fight inevitability. Life is change; if we stop changing, we stop growing. Life is never going to go exactly the way that you want it to. Something is always waiting to pop up and bite you. The more that you attempt to make life go your way the more that it won’t. Your life will be so much more peaceful and smooth if you just learn to stop swimming upstream.

Start Where You Are
Of all of the truths I've learned in life, one of the most important is this: Ideas, no matter how good they are, are useful to me only in the proportion I use them. I need to make them personal. Every word of truth has to become flesh in me. I cannot rely on others to do that for me, just as I cannot rely on others to digest my food, to drink my water or to breath my air.
Sports CoachesNeed An Edge Too - Better Mental Development
Sports and athletics trainers usually have very good programmes to develop a person's physical technique. You'd expect them to. They are generally experts in their field, at least you'd hope so. But often a sports coach ignores one important aspect of a person's development; mental development and mental attitude This should play a higher profile role with all sports and athletics trainers.
Spirit Guides help us make the Best Choices
There have been spirit guides since before there were human beings. Dealing with spirit guides is dealing with antiquity itself. We can take ourselves back to the time of the Egyptians and delve into the spirit guides of the pyramids if we choose.
Some things can be fixed; others must heal (A Nutshell Essay).
Are you a fixer? When someone tells you a problem they are having, do you immediately feel the need to offer advice? Is it difficult for you to just listen to someone who is in distress, to just be there for them without knowing precisely what to say or do? Are you uncomfortable with anything being in limbo? Are you addicted to certainties? Does your self-esteem depend on your ability to make things right for other people? If you're answering yes to some of these questions, you are probably a fixer.
So What?
* So what if I am confused, I can seek clarity.
Small Steps. Great Strides
Allow yourself sacred space, sacred time . Believe in your personal power, retrieve if lost. Explore, enhance creativity to allow the flow of positive energy. Don't get stuck in a rut, seek out a form of support system. Assess, evaluate your attitude. Believe in the power of positive affirmation. Value your gifts, your talents, count your blessings. Think once, think twice, think again before making major decisions.
Simplify Everything: Make room for what is to come?
When we think of simplifying our lives, we often think of getting rid of “stuff? Time to empty the closets, make a trip to Goodwill and maybe re-arranging our schedules. This is one level of simplifying and it’s great because whatever we do in our external world is a reflection of a shift on the internal level. As we make changes in our schedules, and environment we impact the unconscious- and this is a good thing. The good news is that we can be even more effective by bringing more awareness and consciousness to the changes we make in our lives: A pivotal issue is one, which when resolved impacts several other issues. When we consciously address and simplify our attitudes, beliefs and behaviors then our external circumstances will change accordingly---- and with very little effort!

Shortcuts To Getting It All Done
Getting it all done - is it really possible? We’ve all had the experience of getting back to the office (or home) after a productive errand-run only to realize that you forgot to pick up brown sugar for the special dessert tonight, and you didn’t stop by Office Max which was right next door to where you were. Two things that could have taken less than 10 minutes will now cost you over an hour. Frustrating, isn’t it?
Shake it off and step up
There was a farmer who had an old mule. The mule fell into a deep dry well and began to cry loudly. Hearing his mule cry, the farmer came over and assessed the situation. The well was deep and the mule was heavy. He knew it would be difficult, it not impossible, to haul the animal out.
SEVEN WAYS TO POSITIVELY BELIEVE YOURSELF OFF THE DIET ROLLER COASTER
I had been unsuccessfully trying to loose from 15 to 20 pounds since my daughter's birth in 1973. Every so often I would get down to my desired weight. But before I could get to the clothing store to buy that pair of jeans I wanted, in the smaller size, those 15 extra pounds would creep back on.

Positive Thinking for Your Health
Positive thinking is an effective way to achieve mastery of bio-energy healing. Maintenance of a positive energy level in a healer's own bio-energy field reduces stress and emotional tension in the healer and in others. Positive emotions and feelings and a positive mental attitude can improve the quality of people's lives and heal their bodies of illnesses and stresses.

Positive Energy Sources
People need a constant supply of energy everyday to keep them going. People will get that energy from anywhere, even negative sources. Many individuals rely on caffeine, adrenaline, sugar, even drugs or alcohol to give them the push to make it through the day. But using negative energy sources will take its toll on your body and mind, often leaving you feeling worse than you started. So the next time you find yourself in a mid-afternoon slump, try one of the sources below for an energy boost instead of reaching for that candy bar or cup of coffee.

Perfect Action - No Mistakes
Everyone has had setbacks before. Normally, most people find a way around, over or through their setbacks. But then, there are those who begin to believe in their mistakes. They begin to give their mistakes life by constantly reliving them. Ernest Holmes says "if the belief in the necessity of mistakes stays in the consciousness, then there is bound to be a repetition." The Science of Mind, page 290

But there is an awareness with each other that goes beyond any eloquent words or exaggerated gestures. I know, he knows and together we know.
On not being afraid of fear
Several years, I was listening to a radio talk show hosted by a psychologist. A young woman caller said, "I just got accepted to medical school!"
On Being Comfortably Miserable
Have you ever been comfortably miserable? Have you ever found yourself in a bad situation that you wished would just go away? It might be a relationship you are in or that dead-end job you have. Maybe it is that small, cramped apartment? You are unhappy and frustrated. You complain and complain about how terrible it is, but you don’t take action. You won’t change. You feel stuck and you are. You are caught in comfortable misery.
Oh Lucky You! You've Already Won the Greatest Lottery of All
How dare you ever say such things as:
Nurturing your self esteem
Self esteem is an important part of our emotional health which, just like our physical health, needs to be taken care of and kept in good shape. Both can take a knocking from long periods of stress and cause us to feel low, depressed, lacking in energy and confidence. The physical and emotional aspects of our health are closely related and stress in one area can have serious repercussions in the other – so it is important to take care of both. We all know that when we look good we feel good – and vice versa! So how can we sustain that feel good factor for our self esteem?
Nothing Is As Good (Or As Bad) As It Seems!
We often think it would be good to win or inherit several million dollars. Why? For starters, we could pay off all our debts, travel around the world, purchase that magnificent mansion we have always wanted, acquire the automobiles of our dreams and obtain just about anything else money can buy.
No Thinking, No Suffering
There is a story told by the Zen master Seung Sahn. Many years ago there was a young man living in Korea, and the young man felt that his life was quite empty. So he shaved his head and went up into the mountains to live the life of a monk. He studied diligently for a number of years, but still felt that he did not really understand how to be free.
New Rules
Last week I was working with one of my small business clients, a bright and dynamic woman who’s passionate about positioning her artisan business for growth. We were talking about her financial picture and forecasting robust sales over the next three years.
Never Complain, Never Explain.
Quite a number of years ago, I stumbled across a phrase in a magazine that really piqued my interest. The phrase simply said "never complain, never explain.” From the moment I read it, those four words really hit home with me. To my way of thinking, they summed up the philosophy of all winners. A winner should never waste his or her valuable time complaining or making excuses.
Negative vs positive. The ever-existing battle in your mind
No news here just a statement.
Multidimensional Personal Brands
To know ourselves, we must transform the limited surface of our intellect into the multidimensional intelligence of our soul. This is challenging because it requires us to shift our fear-based ego thinking to soul-centered thinking.
More ENERGY for the holidays.
The holidays are right around the corner. With presents to buy, gifts to wrap, parties to attend, dinners to make, family to visit, it’s no wonder that the holidays bring on the flu and cold season. Our bodies are worn out, our minds are mentally exhausted, and with the added stress of the endless “Holiday to do list” our energy is just zapped. It’s a known fact that over 60% of all doctors visits are stress related. During the holidays it’s even worse. You’re at the mall fighting the crowds, arriving early for the door buster prizes and by mid day you simply “drop”.
Money: Love It or Leave It
If I had a dollar for every business owner or professional I've worked with who had a love/hate relationship with money, I would be a very rich woman indeed. The fact is, if you are ambivalent in this area, you might as well close your doors today and save everyone the agony of watching you struggle to make ends meet.
Money, safety or fear?
For the most of us, money means fear and for others it means safety, but all the difference depends on our families concept of money. For my family money means, sorrow, anguish and fear. I grew up lacking financial literacy, we never discussed the monetary issue at the dinner table or better said, it was a forbidden issue to speak about it, if we did, we were answered with our family's slogan "we don't have any money".
Mirroring
What if events and conversations in your daily life are a direct reflection of where you are in your inner life?
Mindfulness: More Important Today than Ever
Remember, counsels Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh, that this moment is the only time over which you have dominion. The most important thing in your life, therefore, is the thing you are doing at the moment. The most important person in your life is the person you are with at the moment.
Mindfulness and Mammaries: Grinning With Gratitude
I am truly inspired by a most mindful group of breast cancer survivors. Referring to themselves as "The Golden Mammaries", these women gather weekly to support each other, share stories, and mostly, to laugh. In their fifties and sixties, they've lived through cancer--some more than once--and they never miss their cue to grin.
Mind Over Matter - The Power of Thoughts
One of the greatest challenges in life is understanding just how powerful our thoughts are. Many of us learn this the hard way - myself included. After spending most of my early life caught up in negative thought patterns, it occurred to me that I had created exactly what I had been thinking about all those years.
Mental Toughness
I had a track coach in high-school named Coach Arnold. He used to hold a lot of meetings before practice. He would tell us that half the battle in sports is mental toughness. He expected the basics of discipline. We were to be on time to the locker room and keep our grades up so we would stay eligible. He also wanted us to get serious about winning. It was 1987 and we were up for the 6AA regional track championships. When one of our sprinters missed the baton, he would shout out, “mental toughness, where is your mental toughness!” When a high jumper missed the bar he would say, “come on stay focused, stay mentally focused!”
Men in the backroom
This past weekend provided me with a new insight into God's plan.
Marketing From The Inside Out
The "Magic Bullet" seems to be what so many marketers are
Mangement Leadership for the New Millennium
In a work force of winners, managers think like leaders. They mentor and coach others to bring out their best and encourage them to stretch their capabilities.

Make Your Now A Wow!
"Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference." -- Mark Victor Hansen
Make Mistakes! It's Okay. Really!
When you fall, do you get right back up? Do you learn from your mistake and move on? Or do you kick yourself so hard in the butt that you just mope around for days in your PJs and wonder why you're so miserable? Come on! Get a grip!
MAINTAINING YOUR BEST PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE
“The mind is everything; what you think you become.”
Looks Can Be Deceiving!
Are things black, white or gray, or do our perceptions color them? You see something on a trail in the twilight and immediately think it to be a snake. It is only when you further investigate that you find it is only a harmless piece of rope.
Look Into The Looking Glass!
We are taught from a early age what is good and what is bad. We define ourselves on on actions good and bad. People tend to focus on the bad and that is how they feel This leaves us twisted. We must define for ourself what is good and bad no one has the right to judge oneself, yet they do and we allow them to. No one has ever died from someone thinking harshly of them, but to the victim it feels like a life or death situation.
LOOK FOR THE POSITIVES
Our lives are overflowing with negative information from the newspapers, magazines, television and radio. Nations are at war, thousands are dying of starvation and hundreds are killed by natural disasters. There is no avoiding or ignoring the facts. We even receive negativity from our own families and friends every single day.
Living Powerfully in the Present Moment
The time we spend on earth is very short when you consider the scope of the universe. Often, we don’t see the big picture and get lost in the details. What is our purpose in the few years we have? It is to become a living embodiment of spirit while we are here. We must learn to express spirit through our actions, emotions, relationships, and in the work we do, which can be anything from loving our children to being a bank teller. We’re supposed to nurture each other, love the planet that provides us sustenance, evolve our soul in the process, then go home, perhaps to try another version at some later date.
Living In Wholeness
A warm breeze blows across an open field. The tall blades of green grass and brightly colored wildflowers that fill this open space bow their heads gingerly, allowing the heated air to rush by. Then as if orchestrated, these precious gems one by one return to their original position, standing proudly, basking in the afternoon sun. They have returned to their center and are maintaining the delicate balance between their internal needs and the environment. They are living in their wholeness.
Living in Harmony with Yourself: The Triple Trinity of Body, Mind, and Spirit
You are one entity with three aspects. Each has its needs. Each part of you needs to honour, respect, and work in harmony with the other parts in order for all to reach their needs. Spirit cannot stay detached from Mind or Body. Mind cannot ignore Spirit or Body. Body has a duty to Mind and Spirit. Your Body, Mind, and Spirit came together in this life for a purpose. It seems a wise idea that they should work together to achieve this purpose.
Live In The Moment? How Do You Do THAT?

Little Brave Man
I had the privilege of meeting an eight-year-old hero named Sean. It turns out that Sean has had more trial and anguish sent his way, than most who have lived eight times his eight. Our relationship began when I was heading home on the last plane of the day and he and his father and I shared the last row. Sean had a dear personality, and as his father slept, Sean tried to engage me in some of his ‘how many pennies are in this hand’ games – activities that I am usually highly resistant to play at that time of night. But it was hard to resist Sean’s self-confidence, his positive attitude and his creative tenacity. For a little guy, he was amazing and we became fast friends.
Life, The Greatest Ride of All
Life is the greatest roller coaster ride we will ever take. The ups and downs, the unexpected changes, the twists and turns, are all a part of living. The roller coaster ride of life can be miserable and uncomfortable or exciting and rewarding. Our states of mind and body are key factors in how we handle these changes. The problems of life do not go away magically. We have to consciously work on making our lives more positive and joyful.
Life Writing, One Facet of Living an Enchanted Life
I started life writing in the fifth grade. My mother bought me my own Girl Shout diary! Are you wondering what a Girl Shout diary is? It was a Girl Scout diary kept by me. I had a minor learning disability, undiagnosed in those days, resulting in funny spellings. Undaunted, I wrote to Dear Diary, sharing the best of I Love Lucy, visits with grandparents, and weekly meeting with the Girl Scouts. Then one day this dairy was put away. Junior High School, High School and college were years when I took pen to hand on loose leaf papers. I kept details of my love life, shed many a secret tear and wrote some of my finest, darkest poetry. Adult life found me writing on fragments of papers. These scraps housed everything from cute expressions my children used to my less dark poetry.
Life Times Three
The past represents lessons learned. It holds memories that when reflected on give guidance to the present. The past is not meant to hold on to, live in, wish on, grieved over, or to be brought into the present. It is simply a part of life that is key to future growth. When applying what is learned from past experience it enables life to be lived in a freer and loving way. It provides knowledge for present situations. It brings memories that are swimming with emotion. It captures emotions that create a sentimental journey of remembrance. The past is all that was and should remain all that was. The past is a reflection for the present that leads to a successful future.

Life Lesson From a Zit
One Saturday morning, at age 15, I looked in the mirror and was horrified to see a huge, red pimple on my forehead. To a teenager that is a major crisis, especially when half a tube of Clearasil only makes it look worse. Who would have predicted that this zit would teach me a life lesson?
Life issues Pt. 3 - An Attitude of Gratitude

Life Is?
Life is anything we believe it to be. We can deem it unbearable, joyful beyond belief, or anything in between. Why is this so? Why do different people react in totally different ways to the same situation or set of circumstances?

Life Fundas 2: Living Life on Life's terms
Are there any pre-defined terms of Life, when adhered to , can make our lives better or makes the world around us a better place to live. To come to think of it, Yes - there are certain basic fundamental truths of life and the best thing we can do is to accept some of the time tested ones unconditionally.There are others principles to live our life we need to accept, but before accepting them on face value, I suggest you to evaluate them first -because without evaluating it, acceptance means conforming. We humans are basically unruly or unaccepting species.

Learning How To Fall ... You have to learn to fall before you can ride with confidence!
About a month ago, I was hit by a car while riding my motorcycle. The car side-swiped me and took off. My bike bounced off the car, shot out from under me, and I rolled under the car. Amazingly enough, I stood up, picked up my bike, and got to the side of the street without any problems. All I had was a small bit of road rash on my elbow. I was lucky!

Laughter is Essential
Why do we have such a strong urge to be in the company of others? Even the most reclusive among us can only tolerate solitude for so long. I think part of the answer is found in the fact that we love to have fun, and having fun usually involves people. Laughter is a huge part of social interaction. When people gather to have fun they laugh a lot. We don't stay too long in any social situation if it's dull, boring or humorless.
Lack of Prosperity Consciousness Loses Millions: Why Lottery Winners and Trust Fund Babies Lose in the End
You have heard it time and again. Lottery Winners lose it all and trust fund babies waste their parent's hard earned cash. In fact, up to 80% of the lottery winners in this country file bankruptcy within five years. Most of us say, "That would never happen to me. You would have to be really dumb to lose all that money." Yet the very reason that these individuals let their money run through their fingers is the very reason that most of us are still working pay check to paycheck.
Is there anything new under the sun?
While reading the Bible, I am always fascinated by the character of Solomon, the great king. His ambitions were pure. He asked God for just one thing - wisdom, and in addition to marvelous wisdom, he received tremendous wealth and worldwide fame. His writings inspire me to seek God's wisdom and reap its benefits, as he did. Unfortunately, Solomon didn't continue in his wisdom and had to spend the rest of his life in spiritual blindness. Ecclesiastes, the last of his books, is poisoned with pessimism and negativism. However, being well-written, it is frequently quoted by many men and women.
Is Life Fair?
How we look at life depends greatly on our circumstances. When we are happy, healthy and have sufficient money for all of our needs and wants, we think life is more than fair.

I'm Fighting This War Too - IN MY OWN WAY . . . . . .
Like almost everyone in the country, I sat glued to the television during beginning of the war. I was awe-struck at the technology that enabled us to see live 'in the moment' action pictures of tanks moving across the desert. I marvelled at the precision with which targets were struck with the intent of minimizing collateral damage, protecting the civilian population. It was a new experience to get first hand accounts from the soldiers themselves - the thoughts and feelings of the young men defending their country with valor and and the inherent morality of a free society.
If It's Worth Dreaming, It's Worth Writing Down
You have the idea so therefore you have within you the ability to make it a reality. Such is one of life's great truths. This may not always appear to be the case, but rest assured deep down you've got all the ability it takes.

How to Stop Wasting Precious Time
Twenty four hours a day minus the eight hours we sleep leaves us with 16 productive hours to accomplish things that need to be done at home and at work. Of these 16 hours, a lot of time is wasted due to distractions, interruptions and disorganization. We just don't manage our time well.
How To Stay Positive In spite of The Negativity Around You
I'm often asked how it is that I stay so positive. Now allow me to clear up some misconceptions you might have based on that last statement. I am not one of those folks that walk around with what is commonly referred to as a career politician's smile painted across my face.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR LIFE SOAR
Fifteen years ago as I walked through Martin Place in Sydney, on the way to my office, I wondered what the hell I was doing with my life. I remember despairing that I would ever find my unique purpose. Even though I operated an extremely successful business that achieved record sales, I felt as if I was somehow in the wrong arena. I felt I was wearing someone else's glove. It was a great glove, it looked terrific but it didn't quite fit. I remember feeling as if I was somehow out of step with the Divine design.

HOW FOCUSING ON THE POSITIVE SAVED MY LIFE
I was once driving on the expressway when my car began to skid. I immediately stepped on the brakes but that made matters worse! I began to slide across the highway and was heading straight for the barrier. Then in a flash, I remembered something I'd heard from Anthony Robbins on a tape several weeks earlier. He said, “Did you ever wonder why so many cars in accidents wind up in trees or lampposts? It's because they're aiming not to hit the street lamp. However, you cannot “not aim” towards something, because by thinking about not hitting it, you're thinking about IT. You're indirectly bringing that street lamp into the forefront of your attention, and that makes it more likely that you'll hit it. It happens all of the time! Whatever you think about, even when you're trying to get rid of that thought, is automatically in the forefront of your conscious mind. Therefore you can’t aim for avoiding the negative. You've got to aim for the positive!

Handicapped
The word champion means winning or one who is capable of first place. A champion is a person who excels over all, not only people, but any handicap, adversity or challenge. To be handicapped is not the last word; yet, it often is because we see our limitations and not our successes. A handicap is a difficulty imposed on a person that’s slows progress and forward motion. A handicap is something that hinders a potential winner from becoming a champion. A handicap is a rude interruption while on our way to an event many times causing us to be less than winners.

Growth from Discontent ... Life's way of giving you a little push.
That strange, gut-wrenching feeling you have is not the sushi you had for lunch. It's your soul trying to give you a nudge to do something. A word for that feeling is "discontent." Discontent is a state of not being satisfied or fulfilled in your current situation.

Grandma's Armageddon Stash
My mom told me it was because Grandma saw WW I, the Depression, and WW II. In the sixties, when she lived in a house with an attic, Grandma kept barrels of oatmeal and rice. She had canned goods of all kinds stacked in the attic. Things would get outdated, and she'd have to use them real quick before they got raunchy.

Free Happiness
Everyone pursues happiness, so where is it? Is it scattered about in lots of different places and we can all keep collecting little bits?

Fighting For Your LIfe

Fear
As you prepare to take your first steps, could there possibly be something holding you back?
Faith...
Faith is unquestioning belief, especially in God.
Faith and Manifestations
You must have faith in order to manifest any outcome. A clear understanding of faith will help insure your success in manifesting your goals, dreams and the life of your own design.
Face Your Fears
Fear can be broken down into three categories: real (healthy), imagined (thought-based) and worry. Although fear can get in your way by interfering with your hopes, dreams and desires; fear is not always a bad thing. Admitting you’re afraid of something can be quite enlightening. It gives you a chance to assess what is holding you back.
EVEN THE BRAVEST NEEDS A SHOVE
Life is one great adventure after another for those who will try something new. There are those who consider life a success if they can tip-toe from birth to death and no one notices them. There are others who not only accept challenges, but actively solicit them. Those in the last group are the people who truly get the most out of life.
Empowerment Thinking Going from Negative to Positive Self Dialogue
Each day of our lives, each of us have choices to make, and these choices, whether we know it or not, affect the course of our lives. But on a more subtle level, we are actually making choices each moment, by choosing the thoughts we have. Those momentary choices, to a great degree will determine how are lives become in body and in mind.
Empathy Can Go a Long Way
Webster's Dictionary defines empathy as the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objective explicit manner. Sounds deep? It is.
Emotionally Surviving After 9-11 - Self-Care Strategies for Adults
A disaster of any proportion can shatter the sense of safety and stability of anyone who feels close to the disaster or its victims in any way. With a disaster involving such a public icon like the World Trade Center in NYC, involving so many people who were simply going about their morning duties -- presented live and then in instant replay again and again over days, weeks and months -- it's difficult for most people to avoid feeling personally threatened. This is all the more difficult to "get past" because of the ongoing threat of more disasters similar to what happened on 9-11 and the ongoing realities or threats of economic down-turns and war which may encompass many areas of the globe.

Do You Procrastinate?

A Celebration of Life
As human beings it is inherent to want to self-actualize and build lives of deep profound meaning. This is what each of us came here to do. One way we celebrate life is by getting clear on who we are and what we are here to do. When we are clear, we are able to tap into our purpose and find our passion. I believe that we discover that purpose through our relationship with our spiritual nature. Every person was designed with a purpose in mind. Our passion comes from learning to trust God and letting life unfold.

DEPRESSIVE DISORDER
Life is filled with a variety of experiences and depending upon life circumstances it is quite appropriate to be feeling any of a number of positive and negative emotions. Such emotional states include excitement, frustration, fear, happiness, anger, sadness, and joy with many more possibilities. All of these emotional states are normal reactions to specific life events. Even when they are experienced as unpleasant, they are normal reactions.

Creating the Life You Really Want
We may not have control over what happens to us, but we do have control over what we do about it and our reactions to it. The response we have to any given situation is up to us, it is our choice, and every choice we make has led us to the place we our today. This is not a bad thing, if we could have done better we would have. The good news is since we have created our lives to be the way they are, we also have the power to create them to be exactly the way we want them to be. I believe that there are three basic things we can do right now to start changing and creating our life to be the way we want it to be. Those three things are:

Have you ever had a bad day, when everything went wrong from the moment the alarm didn't go off, your ten-minute commute grew to thirty minutes due to a freak accident, you couldn't find the notes you needed for a meeting? On those days you are also likely to collect traffic tickets, insults and stray dogs.
Conscious Creation: What to do when, and when to do what?
You discover you have the amazing ability to create your reality. You begin to let yourself dream of an idyllic (or at least pleasant) future. And you want to “do it right!?What to do? And, when to do it? ?These are two questions that arise, time and again.
Conscious Conflict -- the Spiritual Fuel for the Vertical
If specific problems do not disappear immediately, the answer is to simply relax, let go and realize that Truth is working on things. Immediate healings often occur on our spiritual journey. At other times the healing process is slow and deep and goes at a pace that we would perhaps like to speed up.
Come to Yourself
The bible illustrates a story about a man who had two sons. The younger son told his father that he wanted his share of his father's estate now, instead of waiting until his father died. So his father granted his request and divided his wealth between his sons. In a matter of days, the young son packed his belongings, and left home for a distant country. There, he wasted all of his money on reckless living. After he had spent everything he had, a severe famine spread over the whole country, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him to feed his pigs. He found himself at such a low point in his life, and became so hungry that even the pods he fed the pigs, looked good to him. Nevertheless, no one gave him anything. He drowned in self-pity for sometime.
Change, You, And The Internet!
It is strange that most of us fight change and are unwilling to go along with anything new or different. Perhaps it is because we are frightened by it. We always prefer to cling to the known and familiar.
Change Your Story; Change Your Life
When was the last time you told someone new the story of your life? We don’t come upon these opportunities often, but when we do, it’s extremely telling not only about our perspective on life, but about how the rest of our lives will unfold! Who said crystal balls don’t exist? Just listen to yourself talk, and you’ll know all there is to know.
Change Your Perception...Change Your Life

Change Your Outlook on Change
Make no mistake about it, change is challenging whether it is conscious or unexpected. Viewing adversity as change, not loss or failure, is part of empowered and positive thinking. Humans develop resiliency through change, both physiologically, and emotionally. It’s necessary for all life forms to evolve. Change comes though many vehicles – some hit us hard, others are rather sneaky. But despite the challenges change brings, we know it is our natural state. It’s inevitable – the world grows and we grow with it fueled by our emotions. We are already designed to cry, express sorrow, frustration, anger, resentment, even give up for awhile – and most of us choose to explore these feelings. But we are also designed to have hope, recover, be stronger, and inspire others as a result of change. You are never, never alone because emotion gives us plenty in common - as a society, we are not yet Vulcans.
CHANGE YOUR CAREER IN FIVE SIMPLE STEPS
Are you happy with your career? I wasn’t happy with mine. But I stayed in it for many years because I had a powerful disabling belief that I could not find a comparable position. I didn’t realize that I could change my career and my life at any time by following five simple steps. The first and most important step I needed to take was to change my disabling belief that I could not find a comparable position, to a positive self-serving belief.
Cats Always Go To The One With The Nasal Spray

Catching the Tradewinds: A Journey Towards Purpose
When I was in high school I moved from the safe, comfortable town I was raised in, to a place completely across the country.
But I Don't Have Any Experience
So often we hold off living God’s purpose for our life. We know exactly what we should be doing with our life but feel we are not qualified to do it because we do not have any experience.
Breaking the Habits that Limit Dreams
I find that there is little difference between creating money, self-love, rewarding relationships, fulfilling work or any other thing I can imagine. The key is not in what I want, but rather in how I feel about what I want.

Bounce or be Bounced?
The most important thing in life is not the daily ups and downs we experience, but rather our reaction to those events. Our capacity to Bounce back from challenging situations determines our direction and destiny.
Birthing And Deathing
The phenomenon of life presents many similarities in the process of birthing and deathing. 'We come into this world alone and we leave it alone, ' is perhaps the biggest reality we must face as caregivers. This is nature's life cycle. While there is so much preparation for a birth, why is it that we find it so difficult to prepare for death? Both processes involve physical, emotional and spiritual changes. One is the building up of a life and the other is the slow breakdown of a life that is closing down or coming to an end on the physical plane. Each process is a soul process as well. Those who are present in either experience are affected by the miraculous experience of birthing and deathing.

Believing in a Better Lifestyle
How many of you have ever thought about the link between believing in yourself, and getting a good income? You would think that your income is based entirely on your skills, wouldn't you. Well, we know how true that one is. So what does play a part in deciding what you are worth in money terms per year?
Becoming the Workplace Goddess
Having a job since I was 13 years old has entitled me to make a few specific observations about women in the workforce. The first is we’ve denied the feminine side of ourselves for too long, in that we do not realize the qualities we inherit as women are equally as sacred and important as the men in our lives. We can conceptualize ourselves as both male and female spirit, both God and Goddess, equally divine and beloved. The feminine side of God has been diminished for so long we’ve come to believe that we are something less important because we can’t see ourselves in images of God. And when we don’t acknowledge ourselves as a spark of that collective essence, both Mother and Father God, it can make us feel unworthy and flawed. It translates into low self-esteem, because we believe our true self is somewhat less important. It permeates into relationships and before we know it, we have claimed an unworthy state of mind, and then begin to create that in our immediate experience. In the workplace, it has affecte
Beaten Down ... Being the victim of one-upmanship!
It's a funny world in which we live. Some people want badly to succeed. Others want badly to see others fail. Although this might sound a bit pessimistic, it is truly another example of balance in our world.
Be Thankful For What You Have Got
Did you know that the 911 equivalent in the UK (999) now has call waiting? I hope that you never find out for yourself. Have you ever had to resuscitate someone? I sincerely hope that you haven’t. Have any of your family spent time in hospital? If they have, I hope it wasn’t for long.

Be A Product Of Your Own Conclusion
What does it mean to be a product of your own conclusion? Wouldn’t it be nice to have a good end product after putting in the time to develop it? Yet so few do. I look around me and see people doing things, the end result of which will surely be disaster. Let’s investigate our thought of being a product of our own conclusion and glean some wisdom for life. Webster has this to say about the word conclusion. Notice that I have highlighted certain ‘buzz’ words. They are the ‘turn-on’ words.
Attracting Success and Wealth
You will be amazed at how easily you can use the universal Law of Attraction to get whatever you want in your life!
Attitude In Business
Is your attitude pulling you down? Are you an optimist, glass half full, or a pessimist, glass half empty?
Attitude Awareness
My attitude about healing and wellness was strongly influenced by this special little book, "Who's the Matter With Me?" by Alice Steadman, Espress Publishers, 1985. It made so much sense to me that I read other books on similar topics. These ideas changed my life dramatically, and I believe much for the better. I love the title, and it seems to almost tell the whole story right there. Steadman writes about the body/mind connection of how using body parts words in your speech results with consequences in your body.
As the World Turns
If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following.
Are You Just Right?
Do you often think you are just right, or is it just the opposite? Have you ever thought you were too skinny or too fat, too tall or too short, too young or too old, ugly rather than beautiful or handsome, and so on?
Are You A Perfectionist?
There are those of us who wish for every single thing to be absolutely perfect before we move. We believe in perfection and strive for perfection. Is there such a thing as perfection or is it only an illusion we have accepted as being real?
Anti-Resolutions: What Not To Do To Make 2005 Your Best Year Yet
Can you believe a New Year is here already? I believe wholeheartedly in setting goals, setting intentions, deciding what you will do over the next year. However, I also think it's equally important to know what not to do.
Another Thing to Consider When Choosing A Career
There's a lot being said these days about EQ (emotional intelligence). It plays an important part in many areas of our lives. The term was popularized by Daniel Goleman in his book, "Emotional Intelligence." The George Lucas Education Foundation (see www.edutopia.org) has made it a major focus of their program.

Affirmations Transform Your Life
Affirmations are powerful transformational tools. They are simple, clear and positive statements that are repeated often that replace thoughts and beliefs that do not support your wellbeing. Transforming your beliefs and thoughts leads to a change in behavior. We all learn from repetition. That is why it is necessary to repeat your affirmations enough to replace the old patterns. What is enough? Well, a transformation can happen when we literally bombard our environment with the affirmations for 17-45 days. That means we can speak them out loud, write them and paste them where they can be seen, make tapes of them and play them in the car, etc. There are also ways to word affirmations to make them more effective in your life. Many people use words like "want to, will, need to, hope, and wish to" in their affirmations. This establishes a relationship with the future? (ie "I will lose 5 lbs). The only way to be really effective with an affirmation is to word it a! s though it is actually happening right now ! (i

Advance Your Enthusiasm and Determination for Success
Steve Brunkhorst
Adrift
In 1982 Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank. He was out of the shipping lanes and floating in a life raft, alone. His supplies were few. His chances were small. Yet when three fishermen found him seventy-six days later (the longest anyone has survived a shipwreck on a life raft alone), he was alive-much skinnier than he was when he started, but alive.
Active Waiting
We are impatient people. It is difficult to wait for answers, solutions, times to change, the winds to shift, to get our heart's desires. We all know the angst of hoping the significant other will propose marriage, waiting for the wedding day, the college diploma, the job offer to come, the divorce to be finalized, grief to wane.
Achieving Success Through Attitude
I want to discuss with you something that is seldom mentioned about success on the internet and what it requires. There is much more of the “inquirer” grade of content than the much respected “national geographic” grade of content filtering through the internet maze. Maybe it is because people lack direction. I suspect that it is more on the lines of education and what is actually needed to start becoming successful within the reams of the internet masses. Many people are building the internet around their dreams rather than building a purpose and achieving those dreams. I’ve noticed that even more people don’t really know what their dreams are, let alone how to go about achieving their intended goals. And as a result, I have read everyday about how one person or the other has been taken down yet another road of dreambuster alley. It must be to be pretty crowded there.
