GET REAL (with expectations) Another one of those readings that struck a chord, and reminded me of universal truths in life and recovering an abundant life! I am a very avid golfer; some have even accused me of being addicted to the sport. Funny, what I really like about golf is the sociability of the game coupled with the natural outdoors setting. At my darkest times, I found more serenity on the golf course than in any other spot on earth. People assume because you play a lot and are passionate, that you are good at it. For me and golf, this is not the case.

Rejection can cause a particularly deep form of anger, because rejection seems to carry with it a heavy load: loss of self-esteem, and even of identity. Rejection can also result in depression. Sometimes it takes this shock of rejection to make you realize that you may have been asking for toolittle in life and to get moving to do something about it. You may have settled for what you thought you could have, not what you really wanted.r

Last week, the Women’s Club in my community celebrated men and women over the age of 90 by hosting a dinner and entertainment event in their honor.

In my last article, I talked about “stress stupidity” and how it causes us to make mistakes and lose time. It actually does more than that: A recently released Yale University study, published online the week of January 9, 2012, in the journal Biological Psychiatry, shows that stress causes the brain to shrink because the stress hormones eat away at brain tissue, literally making holes in your brain.

We live in a youth-oriented society, where the fastest growing group, the Baby Boomers, learned, “Never trust anyone over thirty.” They’ve probably extended that limit by now; I haven’t checked recently to see what it is. 60? 70? We see ads everywhere for products and services to erase wrinkles, get rid of flab (painlessly and quickly), and make your teeth whiter than nature intended (without giving up coffee or red wine). So let’s look at a few facts:

TRY-ATHALON nnIf you accept that success equals ‘what you know’ multiplied by ‘whom you know’, it stands to reason that in order to be successful there’s no point in hiding your light under a bushel. nYou might have the greatest skill, the most encyclopedic knowledge or the finest talent in the world but if the right people in the right places don’t know that you exist, you may eventually harbor the irreversible regret of wondering what might have been. n nNo matt

Do you have any idea what a powerhouse you are, naturally? The potential energy within you alone could light up the largest city of several million people closest to you. That’s LA for me, it was Boston before. What is the one closest to you? Get that city in your mind and imagine it standing in darkness. In your imagination, make a decision to activate your potential power and light up your nearby city. Visualize the lights coming on until the city is fully lit. Isn’t it

Ever wondered why the best-laid plans for your team (or church, or department, or school…) are still hard to put into practice? The answer may be that the people in your team are just not aware of how different they are from one another. The result can be a failure to communicate properly, or to understand each other’s agendas. A good plan can run off the rails just because the people involved don’t understand one another, or themselves. One way of addressing this is to use

One common stressor is the feeling that we are trying to get others to understand our needs and our points of view, but somehow, no matter how hard we try, the message isn’t getting through. The solution to this stress? Try to understand the needs of your listener; then shape your communication to meet those needs.

In the movies, we have often seen a character receive a shock, clutch his heart, and fall to the ground in a heart attack. No one thinks life’s daily hassles are dramatic, but in fact they can be just as deadly as a major shock. Real crises, such as having your house burn down, activate the stress response. So do hassles, those little everyday life events that temporarily frustrate. They also narrow our thinking so that we believe we are in a crisis when, in fact, we are not. They are much more frequent than real crises, and their effects seem to snowball.

Mixing business with pleasure is a very bad idea, according to many. However, staying in the office and working long hours have become so common that the workplace has eventually turned into a place where potential lovers meet.

If you are not able to handle the relationship properly, things can end up really awkward between the two of you as well as for the people around you.

In very simple terms, “You hold your spouse accountable to agreements they never made!” We all experience that intense burst of chemicals in our body during the first 18 months of the relationship. The phrase “Love is Blind” refers to that period in the relationship when we are obsessed with the other person and can not see all the attributes which will later be conflicting. This is the universes way of making sure we mate! Next we decide to dedicate our lives to each other to hold on to that feeling. We are all disappointed when the feeling doesn’t laugh.
