When You Say The Wrong Thing
Recently I hosted a dinner with a great group of friends and people I wanted to meet. One of my guests was a particularly good friend, a guy I care about and respect deeply.

It's cheap entertainment that lets us escape into someone else's problems rather than confront our own. Gossip is often a form of schadenfreude - delighting in someone else's misfortune.
Who Is Responsible For Your Choices?
Who is responsible for your life - your career - your choices? That may seem like a silly question, but often there is a victim mentally from people who choose to blame others. The others may be your parents; or the spouse that left you broke and broken-hearted. The other to blame for your hardship might be an employer who let you go for whatever reason; or a friend who betrayed you; or whatever calamity you choose to blame on another.

Smart Women Ignite Their Fire
This article is about how we as women, can sometimes go through many years in our lives without allowing ourselves to realize our Big Idea, Dreams and Goals. We are so busy taking care of others that we hold our passion and desire inside of us. We fan the flames of other’s desires and dreams and put ourselves last.

The Unlimited Power Within
An unlimited power to create lies within you. When you act on your Core Desires, the outcome is often far grander than you might imagine. "Outcomes are often not what I expect," said Wally, "and yet I always find myself feeling completely satisfied with the way things work out. When you have faith in the outcome, no matter what it may be, you cannot stop yourself from living and working with enthusiasm. As I put what I feel into action, I am filled with vitality and happiness." When Wally was forced out of his own cookie company, it seemed utterly unfair. But he refused to be a victim:
Are You Making This "Kiss of Death" Sales Mistake?
Where are YOU making assumptions about your customers? The 2 turkeys that were trying to sell me were making judgments on my age, looks, who was with me, who was driving my car, as well as the words I used. Except that they were WRONG ABOUT EVERYTHING. And you know this rule - because I'm sure you heard this from your mother:

BURNING DESIRE
One week seems such a long time ago because I've just returned from Portugal where I was initiated in the art of Firewalking. It took just 4 days for me to discover that there is no logic, no trick to this impossible feat; simply trust and faith in yourself and the fire

WHY WE DO NOT ACHIEVE OUR GOALS
Psychologists consider that it is unrealistic expectations of the ease with which the goals can be attained, which lead to failure. We fail because we do not prepare for personal change. There is no good fairy that will come to you in the night and transform your body for you.
