I personally believe that your success depends on a a little bit of talent, brains and contacts and a whole lot of can-do attitude. Your attitude can make or break you. In other words, your perspective on things, and how you react to them. And the fastest way to change a crummy day to a … Continue reading Attitude

But if you don't follow up, then … Continue reading Follow Up
Zero Sum
Life is not a zero sum game, where there is only so much to go around. There is not some finite reservoir of "success" and "health" that gets depleted each time someone else gets a bit of it. So, why do we all get jealous of other's accomplishments as if their achievements take away from … Continue reading Zero Sum

Living
I was a volunteer for a hospice for a while, visiting with the patients and keeping them company whenever their family couldn't be there, so they wouldn't be alone. What struck me the most about those experiences, were that these people, who were in the last weeks and days of their lives, all seemed to … Continue reading Living
Consistency
Success doesn't require a miracle. It just takes consistency. Losing weight. Getting in shape. Paying off debt. Earning a degree. Whatever it is, it just takes showing up, and consistently putting in the work towards achieving that goal, bit by bit until it happens. You don't have to become obsessed. You don't have to be … Continue reading Consistency

That's when a … Continue reading Self-Talk

I often refer back to a quote I copied from Abraham-Hicks, that says to: "See your 'career' as one of creating a joyful life experience." We are all creators, just not of … Continue reading Success

Compassion
Being frozen with fear and anxiety, left immobilized and numb, is not the same as simply loafing around, doing nothing with your life because you have no ambition. In that regard, you're not lazy, you're overwhelmed. So, the last thing you need is to beat up on yourself further for being incapacitated from doing anything … Continue reading Compassion
Knowledge
It's important to study and train to develop skills for success. But studying can easily turn into a way to hide from actually becoming a success.
