Paving a Road to Hell
The world's greatest prayer is composed of four letters: 'help!' Isn't it our own cowardice (our fear of admitting our dependency) that keeps us from uttering that prayer?

Inundated in Intention
It is easy to find yourself drowning in intentions but time does not have to be your enemy. Fulfilling your commitments is not rocket science. Follow these simple steps and you will find that it will be a lot less daunting to fulfill all of your intentions.

2008: Choose a Theme, Not a Resolution
When I began to write this article, I decided to go back to basics and check out the dictionary definition of “resolutions.” I got “A thing resolved on, an intention”. To me, the word “intention” is preferable to “resolution.” Somehow intention resonates with the idea of “definitely going to do,” whereas “resolution” has more of an air of doing something because it is good for you, and that’s not always the most inspiring. So, I decided to focus on New Year Intentions. I think for intentions to work, they need to have the following three elements.
A Path to True Clarity
All of our deepest intentions are always realized in our day to day reality. Therefore, it is essential to know that we are clear about our intentions so that we receive what we truly desire. Perhaps you are choosing between potential solutions to a question or a challenge you are currently experiencing. Maybe you are feeling confused by a situation, person, or decision at this time. Or you could be at a major crossroads in your life and wondering-"Which path should I take?"

Leadership Development - A Strategic Need?
Leadership development budgets, that are based on only good intentions and general ideas about leadership, get axed in bad times and get extravagant during good times. If having great or good leaders at all levels is a strategic need, as the above top companies demonstrate and as many leading management experts assert, why do we see such a stop and go approach?
The Value of an Accountability Coach
It is estimated that up to ninety percent of our behavior is habitual. That means that up to ninety percent of what you do, you do the same day in and day out - often without conscious thought. This may not seem like a concern, until you consider what percentage of your behavior is sabotaging your success. While you may be aware of some of your bad habits, it takes the guidance of an accountability coach to identify and bring awareness to all of the habits that are confining you to your current reality. Wouldn't it be great if our 'good intentions' worked the way that we think they should? There's often a wide gap between our intentions and our actions. Poor follow through is a fact of life for many of us. It not only threatens our health, but it also prevents us from achieving personal and career goals that are well within our reach.
How Does the Salesperson Affect Price Shoppers and Negotiators?
When salespeople have a discussion about money, price shoppers usually make it very clear what their intentions are. On the other hand, negotiators don't usually advertise their intentions in advance. Instead, they'll negotiate after they have received a proposal.
Necessity is the Mother of Intention
The road to failure is as they say, paved with good intentions.
Are Your Intentions Crystal Clear
Have you ever given any consideration to the possibilty that maybe your intentions are behind some of those unachieved goals or dreams? Most of us can access all kinds of information regarding setting goals, taking steps,etc. However little time or considerion is give to some behind the scene things, if you will, like our intentions, whether conscious or unconscious. If you would like to know more about how to tune in and pay attention to your intentions and whether or not they are crystal clear, please read on.
Final Exam
I believe among the most valuable traits of any human being is the ability to honestly, objectively, and realistically assess themselves. It is easy to look at friends, neighbors, and colleagues and judge their success in their personal or professional lives. This ease in judging others comes from our tendency to look at everyone else's actions and results while only viewing our own intentions. We all start out with great intentions that can often become an excuse when we fail to perform.

Health Habits: Get Fit, Save Money
You know what they say: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." That's what's happening with health care in the United States, and perhaps throughout the world of "Western socialism" today. The good intentions which may have spawned such government interventions as the recent American health law ("Obamacare") seek to reduce the overall cost to society of medical care. But, like most liberal or big-government initiatives, Obamacare is actually dramatically increasing health care costs while radically reducing the quality and availability of care....
