Are you carrying around a bunch of excess mental baggage which you don’t really need to carry? You need to travel as lightly as you possibly can in order to make better distance. Mental baggage will slow you down and prevent you from reaching your goals just the same as a heavy physical load. I like to use the analogy of the jockey who guides a race horse to victory as well as the soldier or hiker who has to carry a heavy backpack. They can’t make good time if they carry excess baggage and neither can you.

If you want to know the heart of God and dwell there you are among those of us who want the power, the security and the love that is offered and waiting for us to embrace. If you’ve ever felt outside the realm of God’s grace and care read on to know what he wants for you. An old song is has the name Near To The Heart of God and I love it. It says, There is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God. I feel peaceful and free while listening to it or singing it. There is a gentle peace that lays over me with that song because he knows my heart.

Circling back to the Faith category in our Building Your Legacy series. If you have been riding along in the series, you already spent time a few days ago defining what role faith would play in your life. It was a highly personal reflection, and we hope that you did not let any one or society sway what you worked on. Again, this is not about what anyone else thinks you should do/don’t do or think/don’t think. This is your legacy and no one else’s.

Virginia Woolf stated, "Arrange whatever pieces come your way, and make it work for you." I was talking to one of my favorite girlfriends in Califo ia one recent Saturday night about emotions, feelings, and life happenings. We all go through trials, challenges, joys, happiness, pain, and tears in the course of our lives. We mentioned how we all are broken pieces. Our hearts get wounded not once, but over and over again. The wounds are like broken pieces.

The biggest hindrance that most of us face in not achieving our goals and objectives is that we don’t act aggressively enough to accomplish them. I used to think that if God is on my side every accomplishment would be easy. There is nothing further from the truth and I have learned better now. I have missed out on many opportunities in life and many accomplishments because I would falter at the first sign of difficulty and figure that since there were so many problems I must be doing the wrong thing.

My oldest son likes to expose me to new music. To bands with names like “El Ten Eleven” and “Architecture in Helsinki.” Atonal, modern-sounding stuff that I can’t quite describe. For Mother’s Day he gave me this CD. Cover of CD "Actor" by St. Vincent (yes, she goes by that name) We talked about this artist, and her kinda challenging music–in a disjointed conversation that mainly revealed my deep well of musical ignorance. (So I won’t share it.) But I also like

We’re still in the Career category of the Building Your Legacy Series, so today is going to be fun! Why? Because we are talking about money and how to make it! This, perhaps surprisingly, is one of the most neglected conversations we see with women entrepreneurs. But we’re going to be clear here: Just because you “love what you do” or you are “so passionate about it,” doesn’t mean you should do it for free! And it certainly doesn’t mean you should take a loss! We are all in business to make money. Period.

After several years spent working as a dishwasher in a diner and playing for spare change on the streets, Santana decided to become a full-time musician; in 1966, he formed the Santana B

Hi there, A while back when I was getting ready to launch my book 'How To Change Your Life One Day At A Time' I decided to create a street video to help promote it. I had only one question that I wanted to ask of many complete strangers. I wanted to document how different people would answer the same question, based on their own lives and circumstances.

Mom, can I borrow the car? Dad, can I have some money for the movies? Honey, what's for dinner? Life is full of wanting things from people and trying to get people to do things for us. That just seems to be the way things are these days. And many of the things that we need or want are necessary, but a lot of them are not. Doesn't it feel good when you can give those things to someone? The car . . . The money . . . A good meal . . . It really does feel good to be able to provide. It can feel pretty lousy if you cannot. r

A friend introduced me recently to the wide wonderful world of Geocaching. For those of you unfamiliar with the concept, Geocaching, according to Wikipedia, is: “…an outdoor recreational activity, in which participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or mobile device and other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches," anywhere in the world.” And those containers are full of cool stuff, rarely worth much in monetary ter

The brain is a muscle which needs to be nourished just like the rest of the body. The brain needs nutrition and oxygen just like the rest of the human body. If the cells are not fed they will atrophy and die. When we exercise the rest of the body the heart pumps blood to the entire body including the brain. The blood flowing to the brain feeds the brain with oxygen and nutrients while it removes waste products. This is vitally important to brain function and is an overlooked aspect of brain condition.

Your subconscious mind can be controlled and directed by your conscious (voluntary) mind. Any idea or thought which is held in the mind, through repetition, has a tendency to direct the physical body to transform such though or idea into it material equivalent, concentration is the key to this process. A strong desire to be transformed into reality must be backed with persistency that knows no defeat until it is taken over by the subconscious mind. Stimulate your mind with a strong deeply seated desire so that the powers of the mind will function constructively.

"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas A. Edison I’ve failed a lot at many things before in my life. I’ve failed in jobs, relationships, businesses, sports and yet only a few times have I considered myself as a failure. Not anymore.

Most of you probably know this but a diamond is one of the hardest substances available to man. Most of you do know that diamonds are coveted above all natural precious stones. Women value diamonds and we see them on TV all of the time. The size of the diamond on a ring or other piece of jewelry is a status symbol which tells a story about the person who is wearing. Bigger diamonds are coveted by all and are used as a measure of high social standing. Most women will equate the size of their diamond engagement ring with the amount of love that their fiancée has for them.

No. He knows he will probably fail 7 out of the 10 times he goes to the plate. He knows that failing is a part of the game. We, too, must learn that failure is part of the
