My life changed in 1990 when a relationship I was in fell apart like a castle made of sand. Parents had been met and plans made for the future, even though we had only been together less than four months. Perhaps you can relate to the feelings of devastation, shock, and loss that accompany the sudden end of something into which much […]
I’ve always had an interest in Germany. I have no idea why. When I heard that pop song “99 Luftballons” , which is sung in German, I felt compelled to learn the whole song in German. I was fascinated by the sound of the German language. When I saw movies filmed in Germany everything looked oddly familiar. A […]
Friday I stayed home with a bad cold. Cancelling the two appointments I had on Saturday was not an option. I got through Saturday without sneezing on my cleints, and spent the rest of the day on the couch with a box of Kleenex. Sunday I woke up at 6 am still feeling pretty lousy. Saturdays and Sundays I usually get […]
Today’s post is by Jim Rohn, one of my favorite motivational authors and success experts. Jim passed away in December 2009, but my wife and I were luck to be able to attend his memorial tribute and hear speakers such as Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy and Les Brown. This article is from Jim’s […]
I’ll be offering my Self Hypnosis for Success class again at Pasadena City College for three consecutive Saturdays on October 23rd, October 30th and November 6th from 9:30 am to 10:30 am. This is the third time I’ll be offering the class and it’s received really good reviews. In this fascinating course, students will learn how […]
First of all, to all my email subscribers, sorry that you recieved the “Can you do me a favor” email again. I’m still playing catch up from being in the Ultimate Internet Bootcamp all last week, and that kinda fell through the crack. I’d like to give a heartfelt thanks to all who helped me […]
This week’s post is based on a wonderful presentation given at my BNI (Business Networking International) meeting by photographer Skye Moorhead. Thanks to Skye for collaborating with me on this post. Tony Robbins says that one of our human needs is certainty. Most of us want to know what to expect; we want to know what’s coming. […]
One recent hot weekend my family and I were checking out the pond at the Santa Anita Botanical Gardens. My youngest daughter, The Rock, started to insist “I want to go swimming!” Back in the car, she became even more insistent. We were on our way to my parents’ house, so I told her “I give you my word that we’ll go swimming in the pool […]
Have you ever heard anybody say “If only I can have this (car, house, relationship, etc…), then I’ll do what I want to do, and then I’ll be (happy, successful, fulfilled etc.)”. Sadly, it seems that all too often people get stuck in “If only…” That’s because it’s not the having or doing that matters. It’s the Being. Got it? Question: Who are […]
(This weeks post is written by Leo Babauta from his blog Zen Habits.) Change can be a difficult thing. Most people want to change their lives, in some way, but find it difficult to either get started or to sustain the change for very long. I’m happy to report that after years of studying it, […]
