Human Nature

I have asked myself and others, many times, what it is that prevents us from building a cozier, friendlier more flourishing and promising world. We are incredibly equipped to do that: we have our particular tools for reasoning; our capacity to communicate among ourselves with our bodies and our human language; and we possess biological equipment that allows us to learn and to develop unimaginable inventions and innovations. If you think about it, you could consider yourself a

Ever Made an Excuse For Your Excuses?

I know for a fact that every one of us has. Some make more excuses than others, but at one point or another we all are guilty of making excuses of some kind. What becomes even funnier or amusing is when we make excuses for our excuses, or in other words, justifications for us justifying the reasons why we can not accomplish certain things. We have all heard many excuses of different kinds. Why we are fat, or why we are not making more money or why we are not where you want to

Do You Look Beneath the Surface?

Do you think that after seeing people for a short time, you have a pretty good sense of who they are and what they’re like? If they do something “wrong”, do you feel like you know what the motivation was, maybe that they were just being mean or didn’t care enough about you? If someone reacts to you in anger or frustration, do you say to yourself, “How dare he! How could she!” It can be so easy to feel like we know other people so well that we can read their minds and underst

How to tackle rude behavior?

It is said, Humans are not rude it’s their time that makes them so.’ In contrast with this line I do not know how many of you agree and how many of you don’t.

Now Revealed For the First Time – The “Doing What You Love” Principle

I'll tell you this, when you are on your road to success, every day is an exciting day. Every day is special because you love to get up in the morning and say: "Yes! I'm happy to be awake and work on my goals" (or something like that, lol) When you do what you love doing, it doesn't seem like work. Yes, you do work hard but its fun. And believe me, there's never enough time to do it all because time goes by so fast. Have you ever experience that? A time when you were doing so

Getting The Work You Deserve -- What's Stopping You

I take great joy from being able to help someone who is struggling with something in his or her life. If I didn’t struggle myself, I doubt I would care as much about other people’s struggles, either. It is that basic fact that makes struggle itself something that can connect us, and is perhaps something we can eventually be grateful for. I often wonder if the world of self-improvement is only for those who struggle, and I fantasize that somewhere there are people who neve

I Wonder What They Will Think

Do you care about what other people think? To some extent, most of us do. Throughout life – first from parents, then from teachers, workplaces, media and our institutions – we learn that it’s important to be liked, not rock the boat, be seen as a nice person, etc. Yet have you ever stopped and examined your own sense of worry, as well as the thinking, beliefs and assumptions that reside unde eath?

There Is No Instant Gratification: Winning In The Trust & Value Economy

When I was a child, television dramas could drag out a story line for months. When our hero or heroine was double-crossed, it would take an entire season before the real culprit was caught; or you could wait multiple episodes before you saw the "perfect couple" actually fall in love. We were conditioned to be patient television viewers, and we would continue to tune in no matter how long the writers made the story last. But if you watch a TV show today, all that has changed.

Get Busy Living

“Get busy living or get busy dying” was what Tim Robbins’ character said in Shawshank Redemption. Those words really hit home. Many people feel, at one time or another in their life, like they are waiting; waiting for something to happen. It’s an unknown anticipation which creeps in over time. He/she is uncertain as to what they are anticipating; he/she only knows it’s something. It feels like the “lull before the storm.” When we begin to feel this emotion it ge

Six Ways to Conquer The Isolation Blues

Six Ways to Conquer The Isolation Blues I’ve been working from a home office for over 15 years.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, is that one size does not fit all, and I don’t mean clothes-wise, I mean, people-wise. We get into new relationships with certain expectations, only to be disappointed (some times.) - Why? Because ONE size doesn’t fit all. Not one person fulfills all your needs, not one child, will be the “be all” for you, and at times, not all parents will be there when you need them. Life happens.

Productivity - Is It In The Breadth or the Depth of Life?

As a society, we’re obsessed with being productive, running a determined race to “get it all done.” Our love affair with productivity goes something like this: we’re driven to know it all, work more and try harder, so we can make more money, so we can buy more stuff, so we can then be happy. We even have a name for this obsession, so we can feel good about ourselves for being trapped in it; it’s called the American Dream. Unconsciously, we have built our lives around the energy of “wanting,” in such a way that we’ll never be satisfied.
