Have You Experienced the Achievement Only a Mentor Pushes You Into?

Growing up, I was very intimidated by teachers who wouldn’t take no for an answer. Overcoming the impossible, one counselor got me to do my first pushups ever, when I was 15.

Over time I’ve learned to value the influence these people have had in my life. Now I’m more inclined to seek mentors out.

Happy? Are You Making This Mistake Pursuing Goals?

Have you ever been somewhere having a good time, playing a game, taking a break, or simply talking with someone, when a sinking feeling suddenly hit you?  Your mind probably got flooded with things you need to do or possibly better ways to spend your time.

Granted, you do need to be prudent with your time. Is that really what that was about? Why can’t you enjoy that time and be happy now?  How about most of the time, whether you are working or relaxing?

Free Up Your Emotional Resources NOW, Think Clearer, Conquer Time Management

Some of my favorite bloggers post short, to the point, posts. What is it about those short concise posts that grabs us and keeps us going back for more? I think it comes down to time. Time is a finite commodity. When it’s gone there’s no refill.

The only time we can do anything about is now. Today, time was slipping away from me in frustration over some technical problems I was facing. A little later, when reading The Power of Now for the second time, this all changed. Here’s my take-away for you. (more…)

Forget Getting Your Ducks in a Row

Will you ever be ready? …I mean really ready. So often we stop short of doing some things or making certain changes in our lives just because we don’t feel ready. Sound familiar? It’s the bane of the perfectionist’s life.

I love doing things right but what if I never do them? Seth Godin talked about the popular metaphor, get your ducks in a row, in a podcast I heard recently. He recommends not to wait to get all your ducks in a row but to rather focus on what you are going to do with a duck and then get started even if you only start with one duck. LOL! (This did make me laugh.) (more…)

15 Things Not To Believe, and 15 You Might Want To

What are those ideas we call beliefs? Some time ago I thought the only context for them was religious or spiritual. I couldn’t have been more wrong. As it turns out, we are guided by them or held back by them all throughout our lives. What we choose to believe changes everything.

I still remember how years ago, as I started out in the world of coaching, I was amazed to discover the role my beliefs had played in how my life was turning out. There are two broad categories, limiting beliefs and empowering beliefs. The challenge is in learning to recognize them. (more…)

Make Your Goals Emotionally Powerful, SMART Goals That Rock [Inforgraphic]

Frustration is probably starting to sink in. Are you one for setting New Years resolutions and goals at the beginning of the year? Had BIG ideas filled your head as the freshness of the New Year stirred your bravado? Maybe things are going well, and you’ve just gotten things rolling, or you feel in the groove with your new weight loss program or the business project you put together with your partner. If so, kudos!

As for me I sometimes wonder if I have ADD, or whatever they’re calling it. I tend to think of myself as a pretty upbeat person, always interested in getting involved in something new. It’s the getting started part that always gets me going. Then that idea needs a place to go, some landing gear, but before I know it I’m off to a new challenge. Am I the only one? (more…)

The Readings On Your Internal GPS – Align Your Actions with Your Values

The values we hold in side of us are what motivate us to move in a certain direction. Values are also the private rules by which people live their lives. The set of values a person holds to in a certain area of life is like the little motor, so to speak, which propels the boat of a person’s life. When people disconnect from their values or don’t honor them, the boat of their lives simply goes adrift on the sea of existence.

Values are not what we want, but something intrinsic which you absolutely need in your life in order to be true to yourself. – Cherry Claus (more…)
