Life isn’t always the way we want it to be. All we have to do is to go outside or connect with any media source to see that we live in very uncertain times. Many jobs we thought were safe no longer exist. Businesses that have been around for years have closed their doors in the last few months. If it isn’t COVID-19 there’s fires, hurricanes or something else. There’s always some disaster somewhere. And people often seem to … Continue reading →
You have probably read the article title and did a double take. You’re probably thinking to yourself, “Why in the world would somebody want to fail quickly?” “Isn’t failure something we’re supposed to avoid?” “Isn’t it something we’re supposed to run away from?” “Isn’t it a mark of embarrassment or even humiliation?” Why in the world would successful people of all people aim to fail quickly? You should understand that successful people know failure is always a possibility. They don’t … Continue reading →
Did you know failure is your friend? You’re probably either laughing out loud or cringing. You probably have this almost irresistible urge to close the window of this article. Well, hear me out. Most people are afraid of failure. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that out. This is part of the human condition. They draw us to pleasure and we recoil from pain. We would love the big mansions, the swimming pools, the global vacations every two … Continue reading →
When we have a fixed mindset, we tend to stunt our growth and stop ourselves from getting what we want in life. We have that little voice in our heads that we listen to that tells us that we won’t succeed, that something is impossible, or that we don’t have the skills to get what we want. This kind of thinking keeps us stuck. We all want things, but to get them, we have to change our thinking. Here’s how … Continue reading →
I can’t even tell you how many people I come across who say, “I’m a failure”. “I don’t have it”. “I suck”. Life sucks. The rich get richer, the poor get poorer. Every single year, I get poor. I’m stuck. These people are not low IQ individuals. There’s nothing in their appearance that should make them seem like they are inferior in any way. Instead, it’s their attitude that dooms them to a life of mediocrity, struggle, and frustration. If … Continue reading →
On the path to your ideal life, there may be many growth opportunities and I’ve have been down…oh, pretty much all of them personally either directly or indirectly. When you understand that any outcome you experience is directly related to your response to an event rather than the event itself it’s easier to clear away your chosen path. I believe the PATH to your ideal life is pretty simple. Note: not necessarily easy! You start out with positive choices. Nearly … Continue reading →
Change means many different things to different people. It is take on a different energy at different times in our lives. For instance, take the young child as they prepare for their first day of school, the changes in their life as well as the parents may be traumatic or filled with excitement and anticipation. I remember when my oldest started school and how excited I was that he would have the opportunity to learn things far beyond my experiences. … Continue reading →
Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see this world. ~ George Bernard Shaw When we’re working on ourselves, it’s a challenge to keep the focus where it will do the most good. If you’re like me, you’ve probably noticed a lot of “they” or “them” in your reflections and the hardest thing to do is to keep it all about “me”. Even in current events I believe that we are being asked, … Continue reading →
