Many folks spend lots of energy contemplating the nature of their “Life Mission” and quite a few others spend lots of time trying to “get the most out of life” — trying to “maximize their time”. Fair enough … and yet maybe instead of pondering what we could be doing differently, maybe we should focus […]
With regards to friends or family members (or anyone else) violating your “ground-rules”, remember that what you resist tends to persist. This seems to be especially true for others’ behaviors … Thus, any attempts to change another’s mind-set are destined for failure, and will actually encourage them to entrench those same choices in even more […]

If you want to possess true Wealth, Give when you feel most “poor” — and pelase note that the Wealth of which I speak is not material, and neither is the Giving. It is exactly in our most “trying times” that we have the most Power available to us. It is easy (and therefore a […]
