If your goal is to amass more money, good on ya! Go for it. You have a right to be rich. How do you feel about shouting that goal to the stars? Do some people tell you that you are too materialistic or that your goal should be more lofty such as serving others or more ‘realistic' by asking for ...

I have so many clients that from outside appearances seem to have it all. They may have successful careers, good friends, a good marriage, healthy and happy children, things that many others strive for. But the "happy" piece of the puzzle is missing. They don't experience joy, and they have ...

Coincidence or what?nn nCoincidences happen for a reason. You might not fully understand the rationale behind a coincidence until you have the benefit of hindsight. At the point of coincidence, you might wonder why? nnWhy did I bump into that person this morning? What made me turn down this road today? When did I ever do this before?nn nThen later, the reason presents itself. On reflection that person you encountered is now a dear friend; that road you turned down led you to

Most of us know the saying “the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence”. Well that applies to your gifts, talents, and skills too. I’ve often noticed this when I read people’s hands. Whatever they do naturally and easily, they place little value on. Whatever someone else does easily and naturally, they admire and wish they could do.

We often find ourselves in a relationship because we are attracted and like being around another person. It usually is a very organic and spontaneous energetic thrill, but more often than not, once the hormones and newness of the relationship have ended, we find ourselves struggling with our new ...

I recently returned from an 11-day vacation in Costa Rica with my husband. This was a real vacation. No computers. No cell phones. No plans for spiritual or work retreats. There was no one to meet and nothing to do but play for 11 days. I was so looking forward to it that I wasn’t expecting what ...

A good reminder for me. I started on the journey to get a life back that had fullness, happiness, hope and serenity. I worked very hard at that process, have had a spiritual awakening, and benefited from the advice of professionals and peers who had walked before me. I wanted what I perceived ...

Have you ever had one of “those” days, weeks, months or years? Who hasn’t? You wake up, set your feet firmly on the floor, step onto the roller coaster of life and strap yourself in for another day. The ride is constantly changing. Whether it gently slopes or takes you careening around ...

What are you thoroughly sick of? You feel that if it continues on in your life you are going to explode! You feel powerless in the grip of this, you don’t know where to turn and it’s all you can think of most of the time. You feel like you are going in circles and can’t break out into a ...

How are you doing? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed? Maybe on the edge, but not sure the edge of what? It's hard to avoid listening and reading all the doomsday press and not let it get to you at times. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers, 73,000 stores will shut their ...

My name is Biancia Tate and, I have a prophetic call on my life and, I would like to share with you some of the things God has been showing me regarding the present economic crisis. The crisis is a holy fire meant to test our faith to determine if it is geniune as spoken of in 1 Peter. If it is geniune, which means th

It's Never Too Late Are you held back by a “what if?” What if I disappoint? What if I don't, what if I do? If I were to wake up and start a new journey, no longer avoiding the fear of what if, how would my life change? Am I ready for change and is it too late for me to change?

We’re constantly interacting with other people. No matter what the activity, work or play. It’s a part of life, and how well we interact often determines our success in many areas. You may have noticed that people interact in very different ways with very different purposes. Some people love to socialize at parties while others will avoid such social situations at any cost. In contrast, others like to work cooperatively to make things happen but don’t understand how peo

You can get everything you want in life by helping other people get what they want. - Zig Ziglar nnMy dad once observed that ‘Everyone’s problems are significant to themselves.’ He was just making a passing comment with an off-the-cuff remark, but, like a lot of things that my dad has imparted over the years, this insight has stayed with me and I often marvel at its significance. nnThe problems and challenges which weigh heavily on your shoulders may often seem trite an

Henry David Thoreau said, "If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours" and I have found this to be true. There is power in action. Not undirected action or staying busy to avoid your feelings, but action toward your dreams. We all have dreams. Some so buried or latent that we may not even remember what they are, but we all have dreams. Now is the time to take them out, dust them off and begin taking steps toward bringing them into reality.

If you are one of those people who feels uncomfortable about speaking up in group settings, take heart. It is possible to learn to be a relaxed contributor. One of my early clients said, “Oh, I know what you’re going to say – just take a deep breath and force yourself.” Well, no, actually. That’s a little like telling someone the best way to learn to swim is to jump off the dock and hope some life-saving instincts kick in.

What if…you could have it all? 6 Steps to Living your Best LifennSimply put, people want more out of life. The 80’s were a time of wanting more money, the 90’s more time and now it is more fulfillment. Statistics Canada (Sept., 2004) reported “only 32.6% of Canadians surveyed report being very satisfied with life” So, how does one achieve fulfillment while also juggling the responsibilities and demands of life; career, family, health, money, rela

Last week, I was having a conversation with another smart woman and we found ourselves on a familiar topic to many people with children: schools and education. This woman has children in middle school and high school and she was sharing with me that the schools have two tracks in which to ...

I have clients come to me all the time that are dissatisfied with their life and the direction it is taking. One client in particular, a woman in her mid-thirties, was climbing the corporate ladder enjoying many perks, but miserable. After working together she realized the corporate dream was ...

When I started by own personal journey to recover a life I really wanted, and a life free from addictions, I longed for serenity. I felt the squirrels were constantly running lose in the cage I call my head. They gave me no peace. Today, they are still there at times, but on an ever increasing ...

Recently, I have been on a "start-the-new-year-off-right" saving spree. Now, I know it's March already - but it still feels like the beginning of the year, doesn't it? And, these activities have received an impetus from the new buds of spring! I've been successfully saying no to small ...

"Are managers mentors?" is probably one of the most common questions in the corporate workplace today. While a good manager should have mentorship qualities, and the ability to get the most potential productivity from subordinates, are both roles possible for a supervisor? Some executives think it’s not only possible, but necessary. Others believe the two roles must remain completely separate, in order to be truly effective. * Why the Debater

The holidays can be a time of moods that go up and down. It’s easy to assume that changing moods are the result of what happens to you, or worse yet, just something that comes over you without any explanation whatsoever. Wouldn’t you like to have a way to choose how you feel? A way that works fairly rapidly, despite exte al stress? One way is to avoid automatic eating & drinking. Get off automatic pilot; instead, pause, think, and choose.

It's become a joke to wonder "what's my motivation?" like an actor, when we have something in front of us to do and just can't seem to get it done. We may complain that we just can't get motivated to do something. What we usually mean by this is just that we don't want to do it right then, or ...

Are you ready... rn ...to step into your greatness? Is your vision alive for you? Or is it a sleeping giant? A vision is the imagination of your highest dreams and deepest desires realized. Vision is inspired, it is compelling and it pulls you forward. Everyone has a vision. It is both a spiritual gift and it is a tool. Your vision is a giant that once awakened can keep you on track in manifesting a life that is worthy of you. And one in which you have the impact that only yo

Job searching is never fun, nor is it something that is particularly comfortable for the majority of people out there. It can be frustrating, but ultimately, it can prove to be an extremely rewarding experience. There are additional challenges that exist, however, when it comes to job searching in a recession. The term recession is likely to be as frightening to many as a job search. Because of this, it's important to remember that there are ways to simplify job searching in a recession.

I hear it often – in person, from clients, on the internet – “I’m told I’m too quiet, and need to speak out more.” I’ve had more than one client whose job review included that feedback. And the client says to me, “But I only speak when I really have something to say – and then it’s overlooked or discounted. So why bother?” Why indeed do introverts so often feel their ideas and offerings are swept aside by other, louder people? Is the ability to influence other people really based on the ability to speak louder than other people?

Can you define the place where you stop and another human begins? It seems like an abstract question, right? But think about it; how do you define “you”. Not who you are but what; bones, muscles, fingers and toes.

Many of us have heard about that saying Be-Do-Have, wow is it really that simple? I wanted to share a story of how we started this idea of Life is a Playground and our home business Clark's Playground. Just about a year ago we were like so many working, day to day raising a family and making the best of what we thought we had. The keyword is “thought”, however we started to question what we had. Is it really just about going to work and coming home, do-this, do-th

Have you ever had one of those days where you woke up in the morning and no matter what you did you just couldn’t ’snap’ out of it? It’s like you had a bad dream and it left you with a salty attitude to carry throughout the day. Sure you have, because we have all experienced at least one of ...

I think that, to some degree, we all have a love/hate relationship with being seen — with letting another person see all the parts that make up who we are, whether it’s our joy, anger, grief, ambition, or something else. On the downside, if we show the other person parts we usually keep hidden, and they leave, we’ll feel hurt. The more of ourselves we let them see, the more pain we’ll experience if they decide not to be with us.

Recently, I have been on a "start-the-new-year -off-right" saving spree. I've been successfully saying no to small purchases that we really don't need and taking those few extra moments to think about whether there might be a lower cost solution to the challenge at hand. At the same time, (I ...

Somehow it happened that the calendar year of 2008 has come to a close. In celebration of this passing and to set intentions for a new year, I climbed to the highest peak of a hiking trail near my home with a group of friends at 6:30 am on the morning of the Winter Solstice. On that chilly ...

Does the perfect apology really exist? Is it conceivable that every major and/or minor mistake, embarrassment, error or screw up has what amounts to be the perfect fix, crafted specifically for that situation and aggrieved recipient?nnApparently of the thousands of different ways to say I'm sorry some techniques are much better and more likely to succeed than others. Yet, despite the importance of apologies in our daily lives there is almost no research on the subject. The wo

I read some advice from a business coach that really ticked me off: it advised coaches to “stop hiding behind your telephone and computer...” OK, so perhaps I am being oversensitive, because I do spend a lot of time in front of my computer and I prefer coaching by phone. The thing is, I am not hiding! I spend the bulk of my business time on the computer because: 1) I like it. 2) I am not limited by geography – I can connect to someone on any continent.

Personal relationships are one of the keys to our success and happiness in life and if they are putting a strain on us rather than supporting us then they can affect all other areas of your life as it becomes difficult to departmentalize them. Though it is important to love time alone and working things out for yourself, it’s also important to be surrounded by people who you love and love you back. nnWhether you’re having problems in your relationships with family, friend

Flagging StandardsnnnWhen you have high standards, you are likely to feel extremely good about yourself. Indeed the higher your standards, the better your life. Choosing to raise standards is a great way of bolstering your self-esteem and making yourself irresistibly attractive to other high quality, like-minded people.nn nIf your standards are low then you will be flying your emotional flag at half mast. A good way to bridge the gap in your own personal standard is to identi

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2--Invest what you have [Send/Cast/Throw your bread upon the waters], because after a while you will get a return [many days you may find it]. Invest what you have in several different businesses [Give a portion to seven, even eight], because you don’t know what ·disasters [evil] might ·happen [occur in the land].
