Latest Treatments for Depression

I have been treating depression for nearly two decades now and I have watched the tools we have used to tackle the illness evolve over this time.

Executives of the new world

The Purpose of Human Life and How to Achieve it

The purpose of human life, as with many religious matters, is subject to different explanations when it does not have to be so. For one thing, human beings did not play any role in their creation. And so, it is improper for anyone to try to assign a purpose to his life. The only One qualified to appoint a purpose for human lives is God, the Creator of mankind. Every creature is incapable of creating itself. It is always the Creator, who determines the purpose for His creations.r

Are You a Productivity Environmentalist?

Often I hear people say they need to go to work on Saturday or fly to a remote tropical island things done. This is because these environments have less distraction.

Because of this, I’ve become a bit of an environmentalist for my clients. I’m not talking about reducing your

Change and Adapt to Thrive in a New Environment

There's a statement in the business training that we put on that you want to get familiar with. We get everybody to buy into it, and understand what it really means. It's this: “Be the competitor you would hate to have as a competitor.” Be the best. Be unique. For instance, in this current economic depression that we're in, with rollback and bankruptcy, I wonder why they would let an electronics company go down—and why they would work so hard to keep a bank and an insurance company afloat. I know that's not funny for Circuit City, the comparison between electronics and banking.

We Know Better Than The Prospect Does

Being a salesperson is an interesting job. It's one of those professions, kind of like being an atto ey, where while we like them and we need them, most of the time they're the brunt of jokes. And most of the time we don't like them, and most of us would never want to be one of those people. On the other hand, once you become an atto ey, you take an oath. You don't take an oath for honesty—guaranteed, that's not what's happening. And you don't take an oath to fight for right and justice—guaranteed, that's not what's happening.

Give Yourself the Gift of RELEASE

When you move something out of your life that you don’t want, you are automatically making room for the ‘new’ you. When something you want has not appeared, that is a good sign that you probably need to release and let go of something to make room for it. Through release, your power for success, prosperity, better health and relationships is increased. There are many types of release and every one of them creates an energy vacuum. Wherever you dare to form a vacuum, the substance of the universe will rush in to fill that empty space.
