4. Beauty of Black Sheep July 01, 2009 Last Wednesday morning, I hit the highway to drop off my laptop to get some repairs. As I sat in the early morning traffic, my mind was flooded with memories from my former corporate days. As I looked ahead of me at all the traffic, I remembered all the mornings, and evenings, I’d spent in sitting in my car- feeling like I wasting my life away. I always remember looking around – trying to catch the eye of other people in their cars – wondering if they were thinking what I was: “What are we all following each other to? What are we chasing?” When I was in corporate I always fel... (read more) Author: Brenda Stanton

6. Accomplish More by Filling the Empty Moments June 29, 2009 Our goal as humans should be to give everything we have to become everything we can be in the short amount of time we have on this planet. Often times the difference between the winners and the losers is an extra rep or an extra lap the day the opponent sat in sick or decided to go out on the town instead. Often times the difference between a life saved or lost is an extra day spent studying in the library or an extra line we read in a magazine about how to perform CPR. To allow and prevent these things from happening, it should be our goal to fill those empty moments in our lives. We sho... (read more) Author: Ross Hudgens

7. June 29, 2009 It was once said by an education consultant that in the United States, there is much more money spent on entertainment than education. When you fuse the two for learning purposes, the results can be dramatic. One company I know boosted their bottom line by spoofing game shows for training purposes. After several years of using the obligatory pie charts and overhead projectors to stoke productivity and raise customer satisfaction, employees responded with suppressed yawns and weak outcomes. Meetings were as exciting as a TV test pattern, so management solicited the aid of staff to spiff up the ... (read more) Author: Terry Braverman

8. The Shortcut to a Better Life: Consistency June 29, 2009 When you were a kid at school, you probably endured lots of preaching about the virtue of flexibility. Most likely, the moral speeches you heard were accompanied by fulminating diatribes against rigidity. Imprecise is right and exact is boring, you were told. Weightlessness is strength and fragility is solidity. In the terms of ethics, this leads to the enthronement of relativism as a moral absolute, which is, of course, absurd. Nowadays, if you watch a movie or an episode of a television series, you will rarely be able to escape the portrayal of fuzziness as sharpness. Ignorance is infor...

9. Story of Krishna and the Salesman June 29, 2009 Every town has a Saturday market, but in the whole of India, you will not find a tougher weekly market than the one that takes place in Shurasena. A dozen spice merchants compete to offer the lowest prices and, if you are planning to buy a camel, choices in Shurasena are more numerous than the hairs of a squirrel. Like all philosophers, Krishna loved to go the market. In the morning, he traded his medicinal herbs for coins, and in the afternoon, he used those to purchase fish and salt. Every week, he did the same, and the path he walked to the market was the path he walked to return home.... (read more) Author: John Vespasian

10. Prune Your Tress, Cull Your Herds, and Release the Paradise Birds June 29, 2009 There is a cure for stress. It is not a drug and it is not a fantasy. It won't cost you money, but it is not for free. From those who try it out, some feel born again, others rejuvenated. Experience has shown however that many cannot cope with the freedom that the medicine brings. The remedy is known under many different names. You may call it simplification or reduction, downsizing or streamlining, selection or choice, reshuffling, refocusing, elimination, or termination. In any case, the concept will be much easier to name than to implement. In order to be able to concentrate our e... (read more) Author: John Vespasian

11. Three Uncomfortable Habits That Will Put You Ahead of the Game June 29, 2009 A man can live the soft way or the hard way. Provoking unnecessary conflict and behaving aggressively are not symptoms of a strong personality, but of serious psychological trouble. To make headway when matters get complicated, thinking is a thousand times more valuable than shouting. Unfortunately, on many occasions, knowing what to do is not the difficult part. What is hard is actually taking action. Have you realized how good children are at devising excuses for not doing what they know to be correct? Breaching the distance between ideas and implementation is a universal problem. ... (read more) Author: John Vespasian

12. The Proven Antidote Against the Blues June 29, 2009 Depression has become so common in our society that, most of the time, we don't even notice it. You can only see the phenomenon through the darkness its exudes. Motivation becomes paralysis. Vision breaks apart in doubts. Energy can no longer be replenished and attention gets distracted. If you look around, you will find plenty of examples: Co-workers who lately have been looking sort of sad, call up the office, name some vague problem at home, and disappear for week. Students who have been at the top of their class, start to fail one exam after the other. Thoughtful friends, the kind who... (read more) Author: John Vespasian

13. How to Clear the Way For Great Relationships: Avoid Dishonest People June 29, 2009 Dishonesty, like cancer, starts small. One day, for instance, you learn that someone whom you considered a friend has been maligning you behind your back. On other occasion, you might act on the basis of a verbal agreement only to find out later that the other party has reneged on his word. You will fall into many of those traps, as we all do, since few things are as difficult as assessing the character of strangers. A wise man writes off his loss as part of the cost of living and learns from experience that, on the next encounter, he should not trust the person who has lied to him. ...

14. Are You A Work Horse? June 29, 2009 Last week I went out for a run – and as I huffed and puffed up a very large hill, I heard my quiet, nurturing voice inside me say: “You’re doing great, keep going.” And, at that moment, I remember thinking: “God, if you’re so nice to me, how am I ever going to ever get anything done?” That quiet voice inside has always been there yet I never allowed myself to hear it as often as I do now. In my previous corporate work-life, where I was a self-proclaimed ‘workhorse’, the voice that got me to do things, get things done, and achieve, back then, was the voice in my head that consistent...

15. How To Discover Your True And Essential Nature June 26, 2009 Discovering your true and essential nature and knowing who you really are is knowing one’s self and the ability to fulfill any dream you may have. You are the eternal every lasting possibility, you are the total potential of all that is, and will be, you are the law of Unity. There is no difference between you and the energy that God/Universe uses to create everything in existence. This field of existence is your own self, the more you experience your true nature, the closer you are to God/Universe the field of pure potentiality. The Experience of Self is our internal being it is ou... (read more) Author: corey luster

16. Should You Allow TVs and Computers in your Child's Bedroom? June 25, 2009 Many parents struggle with this question. Should you allow your kids to watch TV alone in their room, or should you allow your child to surf the web while alone in their room? If you think your child will be doing homework in their bedroom, your child could actually be watching pornography, R rated movies, or even chatting with some complete stranger online. When I was a child living at home, I never had a TV or computer in my room. My parents did not allowed it, and they did not want to spend any extra money on electronics. And I never supported that decision until a few years ago when I... (read more) Author: Kirk Schroeder

17. How to Tame Curly Hair June 23, 2009 Women, who are forced to spend hours with hot curlers in their hair, or work with curling irons and various hair products trying to attain a head of beautiful curls, often envy those women who are lucky enough to come by stunning curls naturally.

18. June 23, 2009 Are your company meetings a source of inspiration, or perspiration? A shared laugh can kick off a meeting on a positive note by breaking tension, promoting teamwork, sparking creativity, and opening up greater possibility for agreements. It could be in the form of a joke, story, cartoon, or an exercise. According to Dr. Kenneth Pelletier, there are only two human activities that create total brain symmetry, i.e. completely connect the brain’s left side (logical side) with the right side (creative side). Those two activities are – laughter, and sex. Since you’re probably not going to start your... (read more) Author: Terry Braverman

19. Get control of your Teenager today. Get control before your teen gets out of control. June 23, 2009 I was a teenager once, and so were you. It really makes me mad when I see people talking trash about teenagers. I think it is extremely disrespectful, and if you are making fun of a teenager, you are making fun of your childhood life as well. If you're a parent, you know how stressful your life will become when your kid turns 13. And the stress will stay with you for the next 7 whole years, or even longer in some cases! Dealing with your uncontrollable teen demands a lot of work from you. Teenagers minds think differently than people younger or older than them, and that is why it is impo...

20. Self-Improvement Books? They Won't Change Your Life, But This Will... June 23, 2009 Face it – you’ve already read a ton of self-help books and attended lots of seminars and workshops. And did any of them transform your life? Unless you’re part of the 5% who eventually report experiencing significant results at some point in their lives, your answer will probably be a somewhat embarrassed “Ah…no… not yet.” After three decades researching and practicing the personal development systems of the ancient world and about half that long doing coaching, counseling and pastoral work, I’ve come to realize there are some fundamental reasons why our physical and emotional lives are...

21. Don't Allow Yourself To Become ‘Institutionalized' To Your Comfort Zone June 23, 2009 My all-time favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption, starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. If you are unfamiliar with the story, Andy Dufresne (Robbins) is wrongfully imprisoned and ends up becoming the warden’s go-to guy in money laundering scams. While inside, Dufresne becomes friends with another inmate known as “Red” (Freeman). As the story progresses, each man’s sentence draws on for years.

22. Do You Wake Up Happy or Anxious? June 22, 2009 "I can have a really great day, but when I wake up the next morning I feel anxious. Sometimes the better day I've had, the more anxious I am the next morning. I can't figure it out."I hear this over and over from my clients. What is happening here?The Tyranny of the Ego Wounded SelfAll of us have a wounded part of us that we created when we were young to try to get love, avoid pain, and feel safe. This part of us is housed in a peanut sized part of our left-brain called the amygdala. Within the amygdala is all of our programmed false beliefs - the conclusions we drew from our experie...

23. How to Look Fantastic While You Are On the Go June 22, 2009 Many women worry about how to manage their hairstyles to look good while traveling for business or vacationing away from home. It can be a challenge to remember to bring the essentials you will need for the care and styling of your hair, and it is also an added issue to have to struggle with several extra pieces of luggage to carry all the products and tools you might need. When packing for a trip, the first thing you should do is try to decide what you will really need to bring with you, and what you could get away with leaving at home. After contemplation, you might be able to narro... (read more) Author: Arianna Jordan

25. Live Your Passion and the Money will Follow June 22, 2009 When you get towards the end of your life, it is important to be able to look back and know you did everything you wanted to do and you have no regrets. Success in life can be measured in any way, not necessarily just the amount of money you have made.
