Life is a Mirror
Philosophers through the ages have taught us that individuals attract the same energy they put out to the universe. If you think negative thoughts, then negativity will come back to you. If your outlook is positive and upbeat, that is how the world will approach you. I am not a philosopher myself, but I subscribe to the simple wisdom that energy begets energy. I see applications for the theory especially helpful in the working environment. I have been having some discussions with students recently and would be interested in your comments in this forum. Some people are constantly feeling besieged with problems coming at them from other people, who they say have bad attitudes. My take is that if what you see coming at you is other people that are sour, it is really a good time to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Mother is an Example of Six Sigma Leadership
Mother is an example of leader-manager at home. She serves breakfast, lunch and dinner just in time, with a smile, prior to anybody asking her to serve. She strictly follows Time Management mathematics of 24*7*365 at the rate of 100 percent success. Customer satisfaction ratio is 100%. For all these ordeals, she neither takes salary, incentive, promotion nor any medals. Indirectly, she is proving that internal motivation is everything. She constantly serves for 40 to 50 years at home, non-stop without a single expectation. In most of the cases, family is unable to recognize the quality of high value leadership in her.

Live So That You May...
I know I want to live my life in a way that I would want to life the same life all over again. Thats the way ideas get re-circulated. And that reminds me of another great quotation: "There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We just take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn, and they create new and curious combinations. We keep turning making new patterns, but they are the same old pieces of glass that have been in use throughout all the years." --Mark Twain So Ill probably take Nietzsches quotation, refine it a little and make it my own.

Be Your Own Visionary
You are the visionary of your life. What is it that you envision? Do you even have a vision of what you would like your life to be like? Some people do not, they say that they dont know what they want to do or even the impact that they have on their life.

Your Renewable Energy
Are you fueling your life and passions with renewable energy? Renewable Energy is considered to: be energy generated from natural resources; or energy that is replenished at the same rate it is used; energy coming from sources that can be replenished; or even energy produced from inexhaustible sources. As I thought about this topic and thought about Winter in Michigan, staying indoors or bundling up to go out, I was reminded that Spring will be here soon.

3 Ways of Leading

New Eras
Not so long ago I was a nervous wreck when even the idea of meeting somebody new arose, then came dashing along my fabled White Knight, only to ride off into the sunset, as Knights do with not so very much more than a glance and a smile in reality, but in my mind .well perhaps we will not go there!

Nobodys Perfect!
How often have you heard the phrase Nobodys perfect, or even said it to yourself? This phrase brings to mind some unspoken judgment that you should be perfect, that you should be able to do and have it all. This unrealistic sense of perfection actually gets in the way of achieving our dreams/goals.
Some Say Romance is Dead
In these days of crisis, and with the word recession on many lips, tightening the belt and reassessing the budget, along with the daily demands of a home, kids work, the spouse or significant other gets put way, way down the list of priorities. The days of sitting gazing into each others eyes and sitting quietly are a luxury that usually gets buried under the washing and ironing!!!!!
Step Right up & Take a Chance!
Step right up & take a chance, no I am not urging you to buy a lottery ticket or play roulette. I am urging you to give yourself the chance to take a chance. How many times have you heard somebody say, Well, I would have done it, but I never got the chance. Or maybe nobody would give me the chance to show what I could do.
Today is the Day
How many days do we wake up and say today is the day I am going to ..start a diet, stop drinking, stop smoking, getting out of bed with the best resolve, we start on a mission, but by 11am the cravings, or the little voice in the head is saying just one cigarette or a biscuit wont hurt. But with great willpower some of us get over this hurdle and get to lunchtime, meeting friends it is hard not to indulge in a glass or two of vino, so our resolve weakens and we say to ourselves, never mind I will start tomorrow!! Then when tomorrow comes we go through the same or similar routine; until our promises to ourselves dont come to mean much to us, they dont have much value and we dont mind breaking them.
Grabbing Life by the Tail
Hows your life going right now? If you had to rate it on a scale of 1 to 10, would it be an 8 or better? If someone could take a snapshot of your life at any given moment, what would it look like? Are you laughing, smiling and happy, or frowning, sad and worried? It seems as though negativity and dissatisfaction is quite commonplace and a happy, positive, upbeat mood and lifestyle is rare. Granted, society, current events, and everyday occurrences do play a major role, but doesnt it make you wonder if youre on top of life, because youre successfully calling the shots, or lifes on top of you, stealing your happiness and satisfaction, making you follow where it decides to take you.

Get a Life You Work Better and Live Longer
Workaholism is rife in the business world. To many it is a badge of honour, worn with pride. Yet of the people on the 9/11 hijacked flights who had access to a mobile phone, none of them called the office. This article is for employers and employees alike. The best employees want more than money in deciding where they want to work. The employer needs to consider employees' needs in terms of the whole person, not just the work person. This article is also for people who regard the office as home and home as where you carry on working when you arent at the office.

Work Life Harmony, Rather Than Work Life Balance
Work life balance suggests people are living two lives, one at work and one away from work. But people don't 'work' for five days or more and 'live' for two days or less. Work is just one of many roles that people perform in their week. No matter where they are or what they are doing, day or night, people are carrying personal baggage, problems, responsibilities, personal goals and work goals. Separation of work and personal life roles has become a blur and, to many of us, almost a seamless link. Family friendly policies are now only one aspect of the work life balance issue. Work life balance has become a key factor in attracting and retaining good staff, male and female in a buyers market generated by a shortage of quality skilled staff.

Work + Leisure = Wealth

A Little Boy and His Empty Bag
I recently accompanied my mother on a routine medical appointment with her new physician. This morning appointment and the literal change was more out of necessity than choice since her physician of over twenty years finally threw in the towel and retired. While completing the enormous mounds of paperwork required by a new medical provider in today's contradictory electronic world, I noticed a young mother walk into the waiting area with two small children. The mother was probably in her early twenties and the children, one girl and one boy, looked to be four and three respectively. She was flanked on both sides by these extremely well kept and well behaved young children. The boy more noticeably was on her right hand and closest to me as they passed by in order to check in with the receptionist and eventually find a place to sit.

Never againNever
As I sat on my front porch this morning, reading the paper and enjoying my first cup of coffee for the day, I could not help but feel a certain sense of gratitude for the freedom I take for granted every day. I have had the privilege of living in this great country for the last 9 years, and even though I am fiercely proud to be Canadian, feelings of patriotism and adoration for my new homeland were overwhelming this morning. After spending the weekend doing the normal get ready for summer stuff around the house and enjoying the last three days of family barbecues and abundance it really hit home.
Maturity is About Being True to Yourself
From age 50 to 60 has become perhaps the most crucial time for reviewing your life. Nature seems to say we have matured to a point whereby its time to again think about our lifes big picture. Its time to re-connect with your essence - the person you really are, the product of your seed, your genes, your natural selection process. The person you just are a mixture of your natural talents, skills and passionate interests. Its not about what youve done in life to date. Rather, its about allowing your essence to rekindle its natural desire to pursue the magnificence of uncertainty. Do it while you still have the health and strength to do so.
Why Do You Work? (apart from the money)
Your reasons for working tell you much about what drives you as a person. These reasons go much deeper than the need to make money to pay the bills. They dont just drive your work, they drive your life.

What Does Success Look Like To You?
Do I think differently of success at age 58 than I did at 38? I remember when I first started in the speaking and training business, women who were a bit older than me, asked me, "Do you believe your perspective would be different if you were in your 50s? Do you really think you feel the same way in your 50's or 60's or see life the same as you do at 38?"

The Universe is Calling - Will You Heed the Call?
"The soul is like a wild animal -- tough, resilient, savvy, self-sufficient, and yet exceedingly shy." Parker J. Palmer from Let Your Life Speak: Listening for the Voice of Vocation In our last issue I made a distinction between one's life purpose and a calling or vocation. As you may recall the Life On Purpose Perspective offers that your life purpose is more about who you are as a spiritual being and what you came here to this life to be and to experience, while a calling or a vocation often has more to do with what you choose or are lead to do as an expression of your purpose. Of course, on one hand anything that you do in life can be enhanced when it's 'poured' into the context of your life purpose. For example, several years ago with Life On Purpose Institute was just getting of
KNOWING YOUR REASON WHY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ASPECT OF YOUR TRADITIONAL OR HOME BASED BUISNESS
