"Life is what you think it is, and gives you what you dare to dream it will.” - Anon One aspect of the human condition that I find fascinating is the way that we overcome the challenges in our lives tends to be consistent with how easy or difficult we first imagine those challenges to be. We pre-empt the obstacles that are likely to present difficulties, and run a mental rehearsal of our ability to deal with them. Of course, this is a very handy skill to have if you use that rehearsal time wisely, to solve any potential problems before they occur.

Good Habits – Bad Habits. Are you sure? Good Habits: Work hard, Play hard. Lead by example. Bad Habits: Alcohol is bad for you. Banish procrastination. We all have beliefs about what are good habits and what are bad habits. My grandfather said that eating an egg or two a day was good for you. Today people are conce ed about the cholesterol in eggs. They used to have prohibition in the United States because alcohol was surely an evil thing. Now you’re supposed to drink a glass of red wine per day for your health.

What Happened to the Baby-Boomers? I remember graduating from High School in 1968 and like every class graduating, we felt like we were going to change the world. Well, we did change the world, but is the world a better place? You have to answer that question. Personally, I don’t think so.

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe you’re in a job you hate, in relationships that aren’t serving you, or in a cycle of unhealthy behavior. If this sounds like what you’re experiencing, know that you are not alone! Many people have reached out to me looking for a career coach, because they feel stagnant and are not achieving the results they want in their life. Deciding to get support is one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself. There is no shame in asking for help. In fact, this often saves time and money, while reducing the chance that you quit on your goals.

As Walt Disney said, "It's kind of fun to do the impossible." What's possible for you? What's impossible that you want to be possible? What if you could make the impossible possible? You can...it's an art. I've been thinking a lot recently about what has been called one of the modern deadly sins...over-working and

The growth and success of your business depends on building trusting relationships with other people. Ask yourself this one simple question: Do my words pull people towards me or push them away? This question requires a willingness on your part to honestly evaluate how you use your words and to what degree they build trust and respect. I warn you that what you discover may sting a bit.

As a life coach of some years standing, I am frequently emailed by people with queries about becoming a life coach, so I have recently put together a regular newsletter with information about the kinds of considerations which I believe you should take into account before you try to launch yourself into a coaching career. This article gives an introduction to some of the preliminary issues that it may be worth you bearing in mind if you are thinking of being a personal coach.

You are divine beyond measure : significant, soulful, perfection unrealized. Someone out there would move heaven + earth for you and considers you their moon + their stars. Right now, someone dreams of you, knowing their love is unrequited. Someone may lie, cheat + disappoint you. You are resilient. Your antenna will be sharper for it. You have a voice that speaks truths: ripe, relevant, resonant. Right now, someone is taking a stand + lending voice to protect your civil rights. You may trip up, screw up, even *&%# up, but you will dust off and it will raise your bar.r

Many people view their career as a separate entity, not part of their "real" life when it's actually an intricate part of it. When working with women who a re really unhappy with their job, I often hear them say things like, "Well, it's just a job, it's not my life" or "This job won't make me or break me-I have a life after I leave this place".

A common reason people attack The Secret (and now, Rhonda Byrne's sequel, The Power) is that it promotes a self-centered and "consumerist" attitude. Byrne, critics say, encourages us to focus on "manifesting" luxury cars, expensive shoes, and so on, rather than on helping others.

I cut open an apple the other day, and it blessed me. Not just the fruit - which, of course, was very tasty and healthy - but the seeds. Every apple has at least four seeds in it, enough to grow four more trees … and thousands of potential apples. Every bag of apples is an orchard! That’s true of every plant and animal God created. An ear of corn can produce a garden; a bushel can provide a field. Not only does each species have re-creative abilities designed within it; it also contains the power of multiplication – God’s promise of abundance.

No, I’m not talking about the infamous and autumnal flu vaccine, even though I have already got an email and text reminder from the doc… I’m talking about a different type of vaccine; this one is made of 100% natural ingredients and has been proven to induce a quick and comforting feeling of contentment, almost like happiness itself. I prescribed it to a client a few weeks ago. He went for it and took it like a man. I’ll tell you what happened…

My husband is a pessimist. He spends a lot of time worrying about many, many things. Among them our children, our home and now, the economy. Jerry works at home and takes time during the day to check CNN and other TV channels for the latest unnerving news about the state of the US economy. ...

With the crisp mornings and even cooler evenings here in New England, it seems we are fast approaching the end of another year. The leaves have changed colors. The sky has taken on its winter hue. The frenzy of the holidays are fast approaching with just a few more weeks until the beginning of a new year! Where did the time go? If you're anything like me, you wonder how summer could have come and gone so quickly. Speaking of how quickly things change…how much have you accomplished in the way of making the changes you started out with at the beginning of the year?

MASSIVE INSECURITY I just read an article by a writer named Lisa Kogan on this topic. It was a great reminder that massive insecurity is an affliction suffered by a huge cross section of the entire population. We with addictions think it is unique to us. I have believed for years that while many with addictions have MI, it is shared by millions of others. There is that word I hear in oh so many places. NORMAL. I don't think there is any such thing. There are many who have chosen a path of life recovery; a path that addresses Massive Insecurity.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Nelson Mandela Are your fears holding you back from living? But what is courage, really? Courage is the ability to continue moving forward even in the face of challenge, adversity, and fear. Just as Mr. Mandela says in his quote, it is in the triumph over fear that is courage.

This is a phrase used in the bible of the original 12 step organization (known as the Big Book). As I have traveled the road of life, I often found myself looking for an easier, softer way to get what I wanted. In school, I dogged assignments and read other peoples notes. I have tried get rich ...

The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up. -Paul ValerynnIn chaos theory the term Butterfly Effect is used to demonstrate the idea that one butterfly could eventually have a far-reaching ripple effect on subsequent events: For example, the flap of a seagull’s wing in Brazil could cause a tornado in Texas.nnWhat a fascinating theory!

“A battlefield is a battlefield. I don’t care where you are fighting it. Unless you have lived through fearing for your life on a nightly basis, you cannot imagine what war is like." - Dr. Gayle J. Hall. A victim of domestic violence fights for her life on a daily basis, just like a soldier on the front line of combat fights for his. Now, this may be difficult for soldiers to understand and may even make some angry. They may say, “I sure did not see any women out there on the front line with me when I was at war. What the hell! How can you possibly compare the two?”

Goal Setting the Right Way What are your goals? If the only one that comes to mind is success – we’re going to start working on that right now.

You need some sort of reward in there to keep you going.

If we were to dissect the superficial front of families we would find, strife, jealousy, fear and hatred and no holiday within the family feels like a blessing. Love brought families together. Love that binds the family together is often taken for granted, by the parents and the siblings. When grown adult families come together, then everyone needs to remember that they are adults, and not children. I have posted a saga of two families One family focuses on abundance, gratitude, blessings and love. The other family focuses on power, individual differences, lack, and fear.

12 Things to Do for 2012 It’s that time of year again…people are taking stock of where their lives are, what they have accomplished in the past year, and setting goals for the new year.

Bringing out the best Ponderings... by Glenda Gibbs Several years ago I was working with a couple who were deciding whether they wanted to continue their marriage or bring it to an end; they chose the latter. Both were conce ed about the family gossip. They didn’t want to feed it so what were they to say?

The first book I read by Erma Bombeck was "If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits". I was hooked after that. And when her poem, If I Had My Life to Live Over came along, I was even more inspired by a woman who could write such a profound poem after being diagnosed with cancer. Ms. Bombeck's poem encourages us to live each day in the moment, take nothing for granted and enjoy the abundance we have been given. Ms.

Society projects an idealized image of a fulfilled life as being straight and married with children. This is viewed as the pinnacle of success in the hierarchy of love. At the very least we should all have a significant other in our lives. With the advent of gay marriage, many gay men are feeling even more pressure to be coupled. It’s true that gays have become increasingly more accepted into mainstream society; however, the expectation of being partnered has also increased as a result. It’s okay to be gay nowadays but it’s not too cool to be gay and single anymore.
