That is certainly true. Being yourself is the only way to live. I also learned that what other people think of me is really none of my business anyway.

Bob...thanks for your kind words. Attitude is everything! Make 2012 your best year ever. Appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Sharing Gratitude for 2011
This was truly an amazing year. Actually, I said the same thing last year, and the year before that. Once I learned the profound impact of having an "attitude of gratitude", I really make a strong effort to always look for the things that I'm grateful for. While this past year was filled with...

Your Personal Standards
Listening to feedback from others is an important component of personal growth. However, I believe we should have our own standards, and set them high! No matter what others think, we should be true to ourselves and know we're giving everything we've got! Continue reading

Wow Pat! Thanks for sharing this amazing story! That is incredible. There is no instinct more accurate than a mom's instinct for sure! Glad everything turned out ok, and it sounds like you learned a valuable lesson about trusting your gut! Thanks again for commenting.
Trusting Our Instincts
Have you ever wrestled with a decision for days or maybe even months? You know that feeling you get somewhere near your midsection that seems to be directing you before you even have to make this decision? Do you listen to this feeling? This feeling is the symptom of our instincts speaking to u...
Thanks for your comment Patrick. Really appreciate you taking time to read my blog. I agree!
The Many Faces of Motivation
Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple said that passion, or love of what you do is an essential element if one wants to achieve success. He states that getting to the top of your field, or becoming truly great at anything is a long process, with many setbacks, and without passion, any "sane person" wou...
Trusting Our Instincts
When we get that feeling in our gut that is directing us a certain way, isn't it usually correct? Continue reading

Orville, thanks for sharing your experience on this topic. Like you, I used to see December as time to "coast", but now I use it as a great opportunity to set up a strong first quarter for next year. The more intentional we are about how we spend our time, especially during this time of year, the better our results will be in the months ahead. When many other people are just starting to take action in January, we will be experiencing results already.
Addiction to Procrastination
It's starting early this year. Even earlier than last year, and certainly earlier than when I was younger. No, I'm not talking about the Christmas decorations in the shopping malls, although that seems to happen as soon as we leave our halloween parties. I'm talking about what I like to call t...
Joan, that is so true. I always try to show people that by setting these time delays can really add up fast. If we do it at the holidays, and again in the summer, we are basically saying that for 20-30% of the year, we are not going to take action on anything that might be difficult. That is really going to slow one's growth.
If there is something I want to improve or change, the time is now! I can stil enjoy the holidays, and get a lot of work done on my life. Thanks for commenting!

Addiction to Procrastination
Procrastination is an addiction. Often, we will put off a decision or action that is critical to our growth because of some type of fear. By making a decision today that will help us grow, we will achieve our goals much more quickly and easily. Continue reading

Vinay, thanks for your comment. I appreciate the feedback. I like your term "vocal optimist"
Happiness Leads to Success
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be" - Abraham Lincoln I remember the first time I read that quote. I was not in a good place mentally, and thought to myself "How can I be happy when I have all of these things happening to ME?" What I didn't realize then is that ...
Would Someone Trade You for Your Challenges?
Before complaining excessively, or actually typing "FML" in your status, ask yourself if there is someone out there who would gladly trade places with your "problems". I guarantee, you'll get grateful really quickly if you take the time to think about it. Continue reading

Eye Contact Matters!
By simply looking someone in the eyes and giving them a positive message, you can create a ripple effect that has a tremendous impact on the world. You just never know when someone needs a little emotional "boost" Continue reading

Open Up!
When I was in college, I was often accused of not having an open mind. Believe it or not, I used to be very stubborn, and thought I had all the answers. I used to get irritated when people would tell me that I wasn't open minded, and would give... Continue reading

Joan, thanks as always for commenting. I appreciate your input. I also like a quote from Zig Ziglar "People say motivation doesn't last...but neither does bathing, which is why we recommend it daily!"
Be well!

The Many Faces of Motivation
Motivation has many faces. It can simply be defined as a catalyst, which centers around "WHY" we act or don't act. If we are clear about the "why" we will be more likely to achieve the "what". Motivation can come from positive or negative emotional places. Continue reading

Very well said Christian. I am learning that my body is indeed capable of things I never realized. Setting my mind to use it is something I am getting better at each day
