  • Which Way?

    We sometimes fail to recognize that what’s immediately in front of us is not what our whole life is about. We have the ability to shift focus and give importance to aspects of life that can bring joy rather than sadness. Or we can indulge in our own misery, find some good company in people…

  • Are You Working for Your Dreams or for Other People’s Dreams?

  • What Really Matters in Life

    We don’t often have the opportunity to boil down our existence to three essential things that we need. Adversity offers such an opportunity. It’s a chance to revisit decisions made a while back, decisions that became part of our identity or worse, became our identity. What matters in life? Is it family, money, love, recognition?…

If you’re at the early stages in creating a business, the culture of many entrepreneurs can be hard work rather than smart work. Think about…

  • Building Success and Building Momentum

    Going through life with the thought of retirement orients our goals to seeking enjoyment in doing less of what we dislike and more of what we enjoy. But if the goal is just to not do any work at all, we are self-sabotaging. In order to feel satisfied we need security and growth. Growth requires…

  • Taking Action – The Easy Cure for Procrastination

    ‘This isn’t the right time’ ‘I am not ready’ ‘I am not smart enough’ Some of the gems from my self-doubt collection had too long of a life within me. Then we hear stories of people who lost everything and build themselves up from the ashes. The thing is, we don’t have to wait until…

  • Taking Chances

    It is not all that risky. Missing out on opportunities because of how we might feel as a result of them is what it sounds like: a missed opportunity. Opportunities are not only to succeed are fail, they’re opportunities to learn. Have you ever wanted to do something badly and then concluded that you don’t…

    Are you lingering over the thought of ‘what if’ and ‘what could it be’?

Is just as contoured as our thoughts. There are two…
