Are you insane or just crazy (enough to succeed)?

August 27th, 2009

Insanity is often defined as doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results – and yet success often depends on doing something (well) long enough for desirable results to manifest.

Insanity or just patience? Perhaps some of both is needed for “success”. Read the rest of this entry »

Keeping A Positive Eye On Others

August 15th, 2009

“Everything is energy” – but clearly not all energy is the same. This is a good, given “negative” talk about a supposed “energy crisis”. Read the rest of this entry »

Making a Difference

August 12th, 2009

“Each day when I awake I know I have one more day to make a difference in someone’s life”

Wanting one’s life to matter and make a positive difference (recognized and appreciated by others) is probably among most people’s deepest desires. Read the rest of this entry »

20/20 Vision and Still Blind?

August 11th, 2009

Each of us has our own perspective: a different vantage point and a unique perception and interpretation. There are things we can see that others cannot – and there are things that others can see, often quite clearly, that we cannot. Read the rest of this entry »

Each of us is a Teacher

August 10th, 2009

Each of us is a teacher (whether we realize it or not) – and it’s our duty to teach and share what we know. That’s our “job”. Don’t shoot the messenger! Read the rest of this entry »

Life Is A Habit

June 3rd, 2009

Our health, wealth, and happiness are a result of our habits. The word “habit” originally meant an article of clothing – and we still use it that way when referring to a nun’s costume or the attire worn while riding horses.

Like our clothing, our habits identify, express, and cover every aspect of our lives. Read the rest of this entry »

Which Station Are YOU Tuned Into?

May 18th, 2009

You’ve probably heard that “everything is energy” and that “where attention goes, energy flows”, but you may not be aware of just how important different (pulsating) electromagnetic frequencies are to life. Much of that energy is flowing through space (directly and as a result of reflection, refraction, or diffraction) in electromagnetic waves.

Our bodies are like antennas that allow us to “tune in” to the station(s) of our choice. Our ability to choose allow us to accept some signals and reject others from the many broadcasts we can receive. Read the rest of this entry »

The Juice Within: What’s Inside Me

May 16th, 2009

When you squeeze, stress, or apply pressure to something (or someone), you often find out what’s inside: the “juice within”. Sometimes, what you get is what you expect; sometimes, it’s a surprise. The only way to know for sure what something (or someone) is made of – without taking them apart – is to apply a little pressure and see what kind of response you get. I don’t mean pushing people’s buttons for no reason, but no one really knows what they can, or cannot, handle (or how) until put in the situation. Despite what they may think, few people really know how they will react or what they are (or are not) capable of until “put to the test” – when and where it counts (the most).

The Energy You Send Out Is What You Get Back

May 15th, 2009

Are you sending out to GIVE or to GET?

What we are thinking about and how it makes us feel is what we get back. You can focus on what you don’t want or focus on what you do want. It’s the feelings that create the energy we send out. Reality is nothing more than the result of how we have been flowing our energy. We do not have to face-up or put up with anything. All we have to do is learn to flow our energy differently.

Do You Have A Deficit Relationship?

December 5th, 2008

There is a lot of talk today about “deficits” (and what is perceived and proclaimed as “lacking”, or “not enough”, in some way). Most people are aware of a growing “budget deficit” and increasing “attention deficit”. But, is there really a deficit (problem) at all – or just a difficulty in our default definition, distribution, and allocation of assets and resources?

Don’t shoot the messenger

October 15th, 2007

Consider the source less important than the truth, importance, and/or relevance of what is shared. Far too often people pay more attention to the messenger than the message or how something is said rather than what is (or is not) said – with social “status” and style seeming to matter more than substance.

Credibility and trust are often extended or withheld upon irrelevant criteria. Read the rest of this entry »

The Light You Seek May Be Your Own

November 28th, 2021

There are many Festivals of Light\ – especially during winter. Diwali is one of the better known and celebrated by many. Hanukkah is also thought of as a Festival of Lights – BUT the word and purpose of the 8-night “holiday” is actually (re)dedication, consecration, and renewal – and THAT is what you should focus attention on (and bring to light) most.

How People Play Games is How They Live

November 26th, 2021

How people play usually reflects how they live. How someone does one thing does not always indicate how they do everything else in their life – but there is often a strong correlation. People are typically less self-aware while playing – and thus it is perfect opportunity to observe, learn about, and assess someone’s attitudes, beliefs, habits, and likely decisions and behavior in every other area of their lives – when they are NOT just “playing”. Pay attention to yourself and others during “playtime” to discover what should be obvious but is often not within our conscious awareness.

You can learn a lot watching people play. Read the rest of this entry »

The Power and Influence of Word of Mouth

November 19th, 2020

The most powerful and influential marketing of any kind is WORD OF MOUTH – especially from people you know and/or trust. NO amount of company advertising nor any other kind of marketing can compare with what is said (online and/or IN PERSON) by someone you know and/or respect. Keep this in mind at all times.

Let others know if/when you have a particularly good or bad experience with a company/business/product. Promote companies that exceed your expectations – and warn others about any that treat you poorly and/or do not fulfill their promises.

Be remarkably outstanding

November 19th, 2020

Most people opt to fit in rather than stand out. Originality is actively discouraged in school, business, and society.

To be outstanding means you have to noticeably stand out – hopefully in a way that benefits others.

To be remarkable means that others comment about you – hopefully favorably.

Are YOU remarkably outstanding?

If SO, how might you become even more so?

If NOT, how might you become someone others notice and talk appreciatively about?

Appreciation is not gratitude but an increase in value.

How might you increase your value (in other people’s minds – and conversations)?

How might you increase the value of others you know?

How might YOUR remarks stand out and make a difference in the lives of others?

Please share.

Don’t give to get; add value!

November 19th, 2020

Do YOU give to GET – or to build long-term relationships and to make things better?

Don’t just “move the free line” with expectation of some future reward. That’s giving to GET.
