It makes me sad to see you suffer from circumstances outside of your control. I recently spent two hours on FaceTime listening to and encouraging someone I care about deeply.
What makes such situations even more challenging is, when you face circumstances because of decisions you’ve made.
Feeling stuck is normal. And it’s easy to blame others. (more…)
I hear so many people say, “I don’t know what to do. This relationship is not going the way I want. It was good for a while but now I’m a bit discouraged.” I’d say, CUT your losses!
This morning a friend called me from the other side of the world wondering how to handle communication, or lack of communication, with a guy she is good friends with. It seemed good in the beginning, and had the potential to be more but this person is HOLDING BACK. (more…)
It’s frustrating when something happens TO YOU, or worse yet someone DOES something to you and you’re stuck, you don’t KNOW what to do. You might not like this but it comes down to what you BELIEVE about that situation.
In the past I’ve actually been stuck for days trying to figure out what to do, because I felt that the other person had the CONTROL or the circumstances were impossible to go against.
Feeling powerless just plain sucks. So, what can you do to get past an obstacle you feel powerless to overcome? Taking is RESPONSIBILITY is one simple way to CHANGE this belief.
Responsibility for what? Watch the video to find out.
Take care,

Surprize introductions to friends, planned job interviews, scheduled business meetings, and the list goes on of possible speaking scenarios that make people uncomfortable. Conversations can make any of us nervous to different degrees.
Sir Richard Branson wrote about his fear of public speaking in his book the Virgin Way, “There are two types of people: those who get nervous giving speeches and liars.”

You can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family. Family can be a strength, a blessing, and a source of support, but what about those times when family seems to be holding you back or bringing you down?
With the exception of dangerous or life threatening situations, you often have to come to terms with the fact that they will be in your life. Howbeit you don’t have to resign yourself to being miserable about it.

I hear you saying, “But I can’t have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse).” How about “I’m too _____ to ever be good at _____.”
Some of these beliefs about yourself are a little less logical but just as limiting. “He never listens to me.” “She’s not will to do this or that for me.” Your story could be drastically changed with some simple challenging questions.

How would you feel getting being paged over the loudspeakers in a public area, such as a mall or airport, to come to the information desk? Many people say their first reaction is that something bad must have happened.
That reaction is learned from experience and what we were told in life, it has become automatic. The emotions take over and until something happens to contradict it, most people would operate with that assumption and get a little stressed out, until it was resolved.
Emotions have important roles, such as warning us of danger but it’s dangerous to simply react. See what you can do about this.
