How Your Crappy Bad Credit Home Loan is Fixable

Complete not perfect

If we are not content within ourselves then nothing, repeat nothing, will make us happy. Winning the lottery will certainly give us pleasure – we will be able to satisfy our desires, but it will not bring us happiness. Pleasures are superficial and all external – such as buying new clothes, food, alcohol, drugs and engaging in extreme sports. They need to be repeated because desires can never be satisfied. Happiness comes from inner peace with a contented and tranquil mind and an understanding of who we are, which includes our ethics, morals values and virtues. This understanding allows an acceptance of what we perceive to be our current ‘drivers’ for whatever actions, thoughts or behaviour patterns that make up our lives.

Dinner at Ron's
I recently had the pleasure of participating in a dinner at Ron and Miri Gutman's home in San Francisco. Ron is the Founder & CEO of Wellsphere, and he and Miri were the perfect hosts.

It felt like when I was a kid and dad and I used to do it back home.

Office Romances
This season on The Apprentice, two of the candidates - Tim and Nicole - had what I guess you would call “an office romance.” The romance ended up hurting Tim because he couldn’t figure out if his loyalties were to Nicole or to his team. Plus he couldn’t really concentrate on what he was doing.

Reorganize your life

I recently read about this study conducted by Nobel Prize recipient Daniel Kahneman. He believed we would all feel a lot better if we spent our time more wisely. He conducted a diary study with 909 women in Austin, Texas. He asked them to record all the activities they did during the day and then rate how happy they were while doing them. He then had them narrow the list to their least favorite activities. Unfortunately those activities accounted for nearly half of the participants' waking hours.

Stop Tolerating Things that Drain away Your Time and Energy

Tolerations are like a dull headache or stiff neck that never quite goes away. You learn to live with it and each day you climb over the annoyance and get your work done anyway. It is not until something happens to remove the headache or stiff neck that you realize how much energy and pleasure has been sapped from your daily life.

So TODAY is the day and NOW is the time to uncover your tolerations and start reducing and eventually eliminating them from your life!

The Ultimate Wealth

What is “the ultimate wealth”? Notice if your mind immediately went to the thought of ‘money’ as the equivalent of ‘wealth’.

Questions to ask before Writing a Proposal

A lot of time gets wasted on proposal-writing. Before we invest this effort, there are some basic questions worth asking. Not only do these questions filter out time-wasters, they actually enhance our chances of winning the bid.For example, most professionals are aware of the risk when our entire relationship with the client organisation hinges on one person. But do we consistently translate this into a strategy to build relationships with other key decision-influencers? A question such as “Who else has a key stake in the success of this?” can open some significant doors for the future.Learning to ask the right questions not only saves wasted time and effort, it enhances our credibility as potential suppliers. And it dramatically cuts down that awful task of chasing a proposal on which we have heard nothing since we sent it in.
