You’ve woken up in the morning and made breakfast for yourself and your family; you’ve taken the kids to school before heading to work. During your lunchtime, you manage to grab a bite whilst paying the bills because they’re piling up, and you don’t want to pay the late penalty fee. You finish work, and you come home. You grab a cup of tea, and you take the kids to their sports game. Once that’s done, you bring them home so they can get their homework done whilst you prepare dinner.

When TRYING is simply just not good enough

Anthony Robbins once said, "If you can't, you must. If you must, you can." When it comes to taking control of life, successful people do not try. They make taking control a must. Think of a time when something in your life became a must. You just had to do it. There were no ifs, buts, or maybes. When you absolutely have to do something, you just do it.

Love Your "Flaws"

If you’re anything like me you’ve probably spent more time than you’d like to admit trying to “fix” your various “flaws.” Although I may pretend otherwise, many of my own goals, desires, and even my motivation to “grow” has often come from a deep place of insecurity within me - thinking that if I could just fix what was wrong with me, then everything would be okay.

7 Reasons Why Worry is Bad for Your Health

Staying healthy is the goal of most people. As I look at our healthcare system, it has never been as important as it is today to be proactive in staying healthy. Between the expense healthcare and medication, the threat to your financial stability and the questionable "scientific" data that supports that taking a million, kazillion (I know this is not a valid term) drugs is acceptable, I'd say one had better do everything possible to maintain their health as naturally and as cost effectively as possible.

Assertive Strategies for Addressing Conflict

Addressing issues can be challenging for many of us. Many times we either ‘fight’ or ‘fly’ depending on how we were raised and how we saw our families of origin deal with conflict. ‘Fighting’ and ‘flying’ both lead to alienation and are aggressive and passive behaviors respectively. When we are passive in dealing with conflict we may feel powerless to change what we consider a ‘hostile dynamic’ so we react by withdrawing, retreating or hiding. This often results in blocks to communication.

The Comfort Zone is Where Dreams Go To Die

The Comfort Zone. It’s a place where ambition goes to retire. Where yesterday’s dream dissolves into the world of undiscovered possibilities. Where leaders become followers and the passionate become passive. There is no light at the end of the Comfort Zones tunnel. Just a dim haze of the unmanifested. The Comfort Zone is a sly and convincing place; often the dream doesn’t even realize it has stopped there. There's a warmth of security that’s abundant and wonderful. It always
