This has been the second hottest summer in recorded history. I find myself ready for some relief from the heat, looking forward to autumn in Michigan. I find myself even thinking about being cozy inside with a winter storm or two. Winter is a wonderful time to spend quality time with your children. The following is what I wrote about on a day that I was snowed in. When I think about it, there have been so many hot days where we've also been more inclined to stay inside, it ac

By Steve Goodier I never thought of myself as one who has any great talent, but like each of us, I have certain skills and abilities. Let me tell you a story, however, I once heard speaker Les Brown relate. It's a story about a man who had real talent. This particular man played piano in a bar. He was a good piano player. People came out just to hear him and his combo play. But one night, a patron wanted them to sing a particular song. The trio didn't sing much and declined.

It’s that time of year in Arizona when the Northern Mockingbird again claims its territory as he seeks a mate, and I have been lucky enough to be blessed with one who has claimed my back yard! I just LOVE listening to this bird sing his heart out every night, all night long, with his trills, and calls, and haunting melodies. It is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard, and I will sit and listen enthralled as he sings his repertoire. I even leave my patio door op

When I was a college instructor for psychology majors, I taught an entire semester on the Jungian approach to dream interpretation, so distilling this into a few paragraphsis an interesting challenge. My favorite use of dreams involves using them to prepare for life changes. After you have done the emotional work that I wrote about in the previous articles, your subconscious mind will be more apt to give you a warning dream because it recognizes that you want the information.

An affirmation is a form of auto-suggestion a.k.a. self-hypnosis, in which a statement is made about the future in the present tense, as if it had already happened in the past. Yes, that's right.

The world has changed and you are probably feeling de-stabilized and out of alignment. What should you do when the fortune cookie you crack open is negative? Throw this one away and open another fortune cookie. No one lives in reality because you live in your perceptions.

I tried an experiment this week. This is my seventh blog in seven days. I originally started writing at the beginning of this week because I had something to say. It quickly became a question of how many concurrent days could I write… as one day gradually grew into seven.nnYesterday I had the thought of , “Maybe I should save this idea in case I don’t have anything to blog about tomorrow? What if I run out of ideas? I don’t want to get our community in the habit of ex

Years ago, my stepmom Judy (whom I call “Mamma Jude”) gave me a framed print of a car climbing a winding road through a beautiful Southwest canyon with blood orange rock walls made more luminous by the graphic’s black background. The text underneath reads, “Change - a bend in the road is not the end of the road. . .unless you fail to make the turn.” It sits within eye-shot of my desk, and I often find myself drawn to it, in good as well as bad times. Change is, afte

A new home, a new car, a new TV. These are things we all would like to have but in these tough economic times, most of us can’t have them and leave us asking ourselves “How can I win the lottery". Should you spend money on the lottery if we can’t afford it? N0. We at Masterluck.com do not encourage irresponsible spending. But if you can afford to play, you want to know how to win. Why not increase you chances of winning by exploring systems developed by lotto players th

What is it to really listen? When you listen, are you listening to hear something that will confirm or reinforce your own ideas, thoughts, and beliefs? Or are you listening in a way that will allow you to see anew? Listening to discover something new, to find out what is true, is very different from listening merely to confirm your own beliefs. When you are listening only to confirm, then your effort really has very little value. When you are truly open to something new, your

May 17th turned out to be a gray and wet Sunday afternoon as I sat working on the new issue of my e-magazine. Buzzing in the background for the past few days, had been the incessant cacophony of voices discussing the feasibility conferring upon a President, who was pro stem cell research and believed in the woman’s right to choose when it came to abortion, an honorary law degree at Notre Dame, a fiercely Catholic institution. The noise was getting louder, protests escalatin

Snowboarding is a bit like love. Before working out the kinks and existing, peaceably, in a relationship- with the right mountain or person- you must first experience abject failure, frustration, humiliation, and heartache. I'm not sure why. I didn't make the rules. I'm just relaying experiences, and from what I can gather, getting dumped on your a** goes with the territory in both love and learning how to snowboard. In fact, the pain felt during Day Two of snowboarding (Hi,

The key in finding inspiration is to apply all your five sense and be present in all that you do. The American Heritage Dictionary defines inspiration as, “the stimulation of the mind or emotion to a high level of activity or feeling.” It is something or anything that moves your soul and touches your heart. It really depends on whatever mood you’re currently in determines what truly will inspire you. But before you go and start looking and searching for your inspiration

This morning I woke up hearing these words in my mind. I reached for the computer and with my eyes closed, just started typing. I’m not sure where it came from or what I must have been dreaming, but I wrote it just as I heard it. When I read it later today I thought it wasn’t half bad, so I decided to share it with you. Comments are so welcome on this one! Here it is…….nnYou can do it! Don’t listen to the naysayers, those that haven’t done what you’re trying to

Two weeks ago Robin Sharma arrived to Israel as our guest and speaker in three events, we had an amazing time where Robin gave inspiration to so many people in the events, in meetings and to every person he met.rn rnIt was also the launch to our new program called ” Leadership For Everyone ” and Robin’s new book called “ Daily Inspiration “.

In part two of this series on preparing for change I gave you a tool for observing your life and beginning to acknowledge that a cycle of life is ending. I instructed you to keep tabs of what interests you now as a contrast to what has become stale, boring, and not life giving. Over the next few weeks you have the opportunity to notice not just what is ending but also the vague glimpses of new interests and passions. In this article, the focus is on something Americans have a

We all love movies, but what is it that do you love most about those films? What about them draws you to the movie theater time after time? The actors? the filmmakers? the stories? the photography? For me, it is all about the characters - fictional, non-fictional, human, animal or object. The ones that stay with you long after the movie is over. The ones that make you think, feel, cry and laugh. And especially the ones that you wish you actually knew. So in honor of the 81st

Happy New Year! As we enter into a brand new year, I’d like to share a short story with you in the hopes that it will remind you of what you already know.nnA few months ago I volunteered to help the homeless. As we were preparing goodie bags to distribute, a young homeless man walked in. He was ragged, thin, unshaven and looked like he’d had more than a few rough nights. We assumed he was here to ask for something from us.nnHe approached our group, smiled, told us his nam

Post written by Alex Blackwell . Connect with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter . Kansas City is in a drought. There has only been 0.05” of precipitation recorded this year. My hands and face are as dry and cracked as the hard winter ground. It’s rare to go so long without any type of moisture during the middle of winter in the Midwest.

The topic of Archetypes is one that's dear to my heart, as you might expect, since writing The Six Archetypes of Love. nnI'm aware, though, that many people will respond well to the concept of archetypes but then shrug and say, 'Ah, I'll never make it all the way to Magician level'. So perhaps I'd better point out right away that we're all capable of becoming Magicians, even though it's really hard to stay consistently at that level.nnThink of the piece of music you heard on

For nine years, I have been leading Shadow Process workshops and training programs around the world with amazing people. I've met thousands of people who picked up one of my books, came to one of my workshops, or enrolled in one of my training programs because there was some area of their lives where they wanted to have a massive breakthrough, a shift, a new opening, and a reinvention of a new future. What continually blows my mind is that they get it! They get it by claiming

When we become overwhelmed and things are not going as planned, it is natural to hold tighter to our goals and try to force things to go our way. In the process, we tie ourselves in knots, tensing our shoulders, jaws, and muscles throughout our bodies. Our mind tells us that this is how to get a firmer grip on a situation that feels out of control, but as we create knots in our bodies we are blocking the flow of our energy, exhausting ourselves by exerting more effort yet acc

Like many around the world, the last few months for me have carried a sense of uncertainty and quite frankly, stress. As an entrepreneur of a young company that I feel totally passionate about, the decline in the global economy has been unsettling. I am fortunate to have a stellar team at Intent, committed investors, supporters worldwide and a community here that seems to appreciate our efforts. I both honor this responsibility and take it very seriously! One of the realities

The necessity for 21st-century children to be capable enough to empathize with their counterparts has never been bigger. They need to assess varied viewpoints and cultures, know how events around the globe are intertwined, and resolve evils that rise above the borders. Just look at the incomparable flood of refugees, including the children, from the areas wrecked in the war and still suffering from violence in the Middle East and Central America; or, recently occurred hate/v

Remember diagramming sentences? I never liked the clinical way grammar teachers used to hack off parts and slash lines though thoughts, turning them into something eerily similar to algebraic equations. I recall even then a physical urge to run up and rescue bold adverbs from the discomfiture of diagonal dangling off of rump predicates. These, the warrior souls of our language!nnVerily yes, I today maintain that adverbs are life’s love handles. Sure, you can grope a noun, f

One of the hardest things for an adult to hear is that a friend of yours has cancer. You've probably already had this happen to a friend of yours, perhaps even a relative.

A version of this post was first published on the blog Patricia's Wisdom on June 5, 2009. Many of us live ignoring our intuition and our dreams. And then we wonder why we're not happy. But as you can see by the story below, when we open ourselves up to our dreams, a lot more opens up for us than just the thing we're pursuing.

We may not solve every problem we encounter or always find the right words to say in a challenging situation, but we do have the ability to make a difference today. When our focus is how we can make a positive impact, just one helpful action today, then we really can change the world - one day at a time. Making a difference has no scale. It could be saying the encouraging words someone in our life needs to hear or it could be agreeing to do a chore no else wants to do. Making

Inspiration is the basis of inspired action and is often overridden by our intellect when we are focused on the stresses of our daily lives and the subsequent demands of “doing.” From this viewpoint many of our choices are unconscious as we may operate on “automatic pilot” doing what we think we need to do from our never ending to do lists.nnThis automatic pilot thing is something we have all experienced in our lifetimes.

As we walk through the world, the people we encounter appear so different from one another. We see babies, old men, pregnant women, and teenaged boys. We know couples on the verge of marriage and lonely widows. We interact with toddlers and the terminally ill. As different as each person seems, they are all living the human experience. They are just at different places in the cycle that begins with birth and ends with death. Every phase of the cycle of life has its gifts and

Exiting Union Station in the early morning rush can be quite an adventure. I've never flown any helicopter missions or been a part of any real political intrigue, but, shuffling in and out of thousands of people on a Thursday morning in Los Angeles can feel every bit as dangerous. Weaving your way through crowds of intense faces, strolling under the portico of that unbelievable architecture and taking in the smell of brewing coffee, fresh bagels and various human scents, whil
