The biggest enemy an entrepreneur has is primarily, themselves. Egos, lack of formal training, misinformation, and over-zealousness are often counterproductive attributes even for a manager: for a business owning entrepreneur these behaviors can cause stagnation in success and even threaten job security for the staff.
Prejudice, discrimination, and scapegoating is alive and well in the 21st century. Marshall Wong, a hate-crime coordinator said, "anti-Semitic crime is still consistently among the top four groups targeted." Perhaps the most startling discovery is the reports of anti-Semitic schoolyard ...

Goals often fall into one of two camps – they focus on doing something or they focus on changing feelings. We might not exactly recognize it as such and often times we don’t word the goals in a productive manner. This prevents us from changing the parts we have control over and not wasting energy on the parts that we have little or no control over. Let’s explore the goal of "I'm going to work on my relationship with my mother."
Some people are really hard on themselves. This is fine so long as the outcome is productive. In most cases, however, the effect of being tough on oneself is rather more negative, in that it may lower ones confidence and de-motivate at the same time.
I remember my mom used to always test the water before she would put my little kid sister into the bath tub. Later my dad would say âSon, look at both sides of the coin before you start anythingâ. So here we are; mind made up and all ready to take the plunge but just before we do, some primeval instinct makes us pause and check both sides of the coin. The internet will provide you with a fairly extensive list of relevant, irrelevant and some downright fictional list of ad
I've had an unusual number of people I'm acquainted with die recently. Three were men in their fifties, one was a ten year old girl, and one was a woman in her eighties. And then this week Dr. Oz did an Oprah show 'on death', except it really was about living - one woman had lived with stage 4 - ...
Being thin is not always a good feeling or it is even a challenge for many persons to gain weight. Underweight which is illustrated as the human-body weight, lower than the average healthy weight. People with low weight usually want to gain little weight and it is required for them to enhance their weight in order to retain healthy and fit body.
It’s one of those nasty truths that migraine sufferers know all too well: when you don’t sleep well, you get migraines, and when you have migraines, it’s often really hard to sleep. So the question becomes: What can I do? I personally have always had the kind of migraines that chain for at least 2 – 3 days, often for weeks on end. Sometimes you get rid of it in the afternoon or evening and think maybe you’ve gotten clear, only to wake up in the middle of the night with one. Or even when you don’t wake all the way up, your sleep is disturbed by the pain.
Nothing is more distressing than for the person on the other end of the line to think you are a woman – or worse yet, to ask to speak to your mother – and you are a man. Rest assured that you are not alone but that does not make it any easier to bear. Being mistaken for a female over the phone is awkward but there is an answer to your problem. Why the pitch of your voice is so high is either because: 1. you have excessive nasality, which tends to make the voice higher-pitched than it actually is; or, 2. you are imitating a loved one whose pitch is also high.

When I first heard the phrase "brainwave entrainment" it conjured up some rather scary images in my head. And what I discovered on the surface after that didn't really help to make me feel better about it. There is no shortage of mis-information on this topic so it is no real wonder I initially got the wrong impression. But let me start at the beginning and explain how and why I have changed my initial impressions.

Summertime brings about quite a few problems in kids; however not many appear as threatening (but are generally harmless) as nosebleeds. It is a common sight for a busy pediatrician to be confronted with panicky parents carrying a bloodstained handkerchief and a crying child. n nThe good news is that almost all cases of nosebleeds in an otherwise healthy child are medically not serious. So why does my child get a nose bleed? The nose has a thin lining (mucosa) that covers blo
Recently someone I know had gone to a weeklong intensive residential class in "Shamanism" directed at healing and counseling. (I put this in quotes because the description after the fact would not be considered core Shamanism). Before they went they explained to the director that they had some ...
SUPEREGO AND DIVERSITY Sigmund Freud discovered the superego as a psychological structure juxtaposed to the ego, but at the same time faced this. The father of psychoanalysis died in 1939. It's been 70 years. At this point there are who ask: "About the superego ... what is fantasy and what is reality ...?" The superego certainly exists and we can reach it using our capacity of introversion. 1-THE SELF With few exceptions, all have clear awareness of what is the ego, ie, just what we call in our everyday language when we say: "I think, I am ..." 2-THE SUPEREGOr
Mesothelioma is widely known throughout the medical field as one of the most difficult cancers to treat. There are a number of factors which have prevented finding a reliable cure for the disease. Mesothelioma can remain dormant for as long as fifty years, allowing it to reach terminal stages without many indicators. At this point, many traditional cancer treatments are relatively ineffective, adding only a few months to the patientâs prognosis. Research is also difficult t
Do you ever wake up with that odd feeling you've had a dream, but can't remember it? Are there times when only a snippet of a dream surfaces? Ever find yourself frustrated over being unable to recall a juicy dream? Many people have trouble remembering their dreams - even I do sometimes. When this happens I know have to go back to the basics of dream recall again.
Helplessness is a very difficult feeling. It can even feel like life or death to those of us who were left to cry for hours as babies, with no one coming to help us. Because we were so helpless over ourselves as babies and small children, it can trigger feelings of panic. It's hard to remember, in these moments when fear is triggered, that as adults, we are not helpless over ourselves. For many of us, the deep fear that got programmed into us as young children can trigger our wounded self's desire to control, when we feel helpless over another's choices.
One of the most often asked question of spiritual teachers by students is “what is my purpose”? Students who study spiritual concepts want to have some idea of why the universe operates in the manner it is experienced. They want to understand so that they can stop suffering. An understanding of the “big picture” is helpful to reduce anxiety and give us something to feel more comfortable. The Wheel of Karma created by the Tibetan Buddhists gives us that bigger picture along with clues of what we can expect. The Wheel is a symbolic representation of the nature of life.

Almost everything we do in life is a choice. To get out of bed in the morning is a choice. To go to work and do your job and pay your rent and take chances and risks, are all choices. To eat unhealthy foods knowing you will gain weight and increase fat and cholesterol and your risk for heart ...
There are two types of identification that can come to mind when this word is heard. Number One The first is known as a defence mechanism and occurs when one appreciates or values the behaviour of another person. And from that moment, one chooses to follow or express through their behaviour, what they see in the other person. This might be a sports star or actor who comes across as strong or confident. And through acting in the same way, one can begin of feel these things.

Children are God's greatest gifts to the world. It surprises me when adults try to teach children how to grow up and yet most of the children when they grow up they have learnt nothing about life. The reason is simple. Parents themselves know nothing about life other than opening bank accounts, and sending children to school. Don't get me wrong here i salute all those parents who sacrifice everything for their children.... But all the parents commit one big mistake.... nnnWhe

A while back I wrote about a book called The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman who claims that you can learn to be lucky. In fact, Dr. Wiseman even lists five steps for learning to be lucky. First, don't assume there is nothing you can do about any situation. Make the decision to take control. Second, do something now. Third, make a list of various options. Be creative. Brainstorm. Come up with as many ideas as you can. Fourth, decide how you will move forward. Consider every possible alternative. Fifth, take action.

Iâd like to share with you a story that my spiritual teacher and dearest friend told me. Once upon a time, there were two seekers of enlightenment climbing in the Himalayas. One seemed more surefooted and climbed at a faster speed. He was conflicted about whether to wait for his friend to catch up or to keep going at his own pace. Finally, he decided to continue without his friend, journeying in a way that felt natural for him and allowing his friend to do the same.nnIt was

Communication is not only the life's blood of a marriage, it is the cornerstone that the foundation of relationship skills rest on. You have to have good communication skills to be able to convey your love, affection, and commitment to your loved ones. You can not effectively problem solve without good communication. Inadequate communication creates or worsens the struggle to maintain the positive emotions in the relationship. All people want to feel loved, appreciated, and a sense of belonging.

Mad Ophelia tells us: "There's Rosemary, that's for remembrance". In Shakespeare's day it was common knowledge that rosemary helped one remember. Today, as then, herbalists agree: "For weyknesse of ye brayne, sethe rosemaria in wyne and keep ye heed warme". The leaves of this tough, evergreen shrub, are valued for both medicinal and culinary uses. And, the powerful antioxidant vitamins found therein do help the brain work better.
In his book Public Speaking For Success, Dale Carnegie gives accounts of many people of knowledge who did not publicly share what they knew, purely because they were gripped by the fear of public speaking. When I first stepped into the public speaking arena, I thought that confidence was all that I needed to become an impactful speaker. That was far from the truth.
As the name suggests its Sri Yantra, mounted at the back of tortoise upwards and with Nag devta is also significant because in Hindu mythology, it is believed that the tortoise lifted the weight of the earth on its back. The tortoise is particularly relevant as it is a very powerful, protected being that can live in either water or land. It is also non-violent and Nature has provided it with a strong cover or jacket to protect it from danger.rnAs tortoise is gifted with long
Every couple has a communication breakdown in their marriage at some point. In fact, most couples have numerous breakdowns in communication throughout their marriage. Communication is really a simple thing, but somehow as humans, we complicate things and blur the lines of communication with our spouse and our relationships begins to get out of focus quickly. When love and feelings are involved, any misunderstanding with your mate can lead to anger, frustration and withdrawal.

Learn how to properly establish rules for your children. Done right, you can avoid anger and resentment when you are forced to enforce your rules. Done right, your children won't fight your discipline. One of the methods that I use with my own children is contained in this article. Setting rules for your children is a fundamental part of discipline. Honestly, you have no right to discipline, or punish a child for doing something that you never made clear was wrong. That's just not fair. Shotgun discipline builds resentment in your children. Establish rules.
When failure comes, be more determined than ever to succeed. The more feeling there is in your thought the greater its power. You steadily and surely become in the real what you constantly and clearly think that you are in the ideal. The more you believe in yourself the more of your latent powers and possibilities you place in action. And the more you believe in your purpose the more of your power you apply in promoting that purpose. To him who thinks he can, everything is an
Line art illustrators in the UK use a method of drawing where the style involves working with lines, usually on a plain background. Rather than being complex, these drawings are straight, distinctively curved without any shading or colouring to create the two-dimensional or three-dimensional effect. Colours are used sometimes, although line art is invariably single colour. The emphasis is on form and lines over colours or shading and texture. The result is pure clean lines th

For this article, the angels asked me to write about the power of intention, or rather focused intention, to be precise. Intention counts for more tha 90% of your success. The remaining 10% is the work it takes to bring your intended result into reality, and by ‘reality’, I mean the world of form. You see, every action starts with a thought. The realm of ideas is on a different and higher plane that the world in which we live. Our thoughts create our reality; in other words,
It may be a touchy subject but it happens all too often that beautiful, otherwise morally sound and intelligent women find themselves in the position of being the "side piece", or the umm… supplement to his main romantic diet. Regardless of whether it was intentional or accidental, once you're in it, it can be easy to rationalize the relationship and talk yourself into staying. Here are 10 “straight talk” reasons why it's never a good idea to be the sexual or emotional appetizer to a man’s main course.
What to say to my ex to get him back; If you were trying to get your ex back after breaking up, what would you think the best approach would be?

I recently had an email from one of my readers, who felt very irate about what he described as the "M" omission in my articles on abusive relationships. He went on to explain that although he agreed with WHAT I said about abusive relationships, in his view it had all been said before, and did nothing to address the issue of WHY there is such an epidemic of abusive relationships.
Studies and surveys conducted by professionals have revealed data on adolescents who have had sex and variables that delay the onset of coitus for both males and females. In 2005, 47% of high students had sexual intercourse and 14% of high school students had had four or more sex partners during their life (CDC, 2006). In a youth survey, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (2005) had shown that youth between grades 9 and 12 have been sexually active. It revealed that the percentage had decreased from the year 1991 to 2005.
It may be of some surprise that the word 'wound' is used to represent a cut, hurt, abrasion or more serious injury AND that same word can mean tied up tightly, coiled up, or bound as in "I was all wound up with stress." We tend not to think of being wound up and stressed as an injury, or wound. However, on a psychological level, that is exactly what it is. In today's jargon, the word 'trauma' is used, and aptly so. Trauma is Greek in origin and translates into English as 'wound' - as in hurt or injury. When we speak of trauma, we are talking about being all wound up with woundedness.
