For this next article, I’ve allowed more of my playful muse energy to shine through, inspired by the budding of Spring. The Muse is one of the archetypes we work with in our priestess training. To hear a talk describing all of the archetypes, click here . The Muse in me wonders, at times, how it would feel to be Madonna, because she gives herself full permission to live into so many different sides of herself.

Take a look at Miss Piggy from the muppets. She was always very outgoing and confident, but more importantly she had amazing self-esteem.

How can it be that a few people never appear to have fortunes on their side while some others simply appear to strut along in life getting a charge out of the considerable number of treats of life?

Unless you're living in a cave and you don't need any of the essentials of food, shelter, transportation, etc., and unless you haven't heard the news, unless you haven't had, maybe, a family member affected—and there are people who haven't—or, unless, of course, you have a no-fail government job - it's bad. It's ugly out there. You can be positive about that, and not be negative about your own circumstances. Take charge, get flexible, be adaptable, think, plan, progress, be positive about yourself!

During a recent teleconference, I was asked, "Once you've taken the step of acquiring The NEW Think and Grow Rich, what's the next step? What's the best way to begin to implement the principles that you and Napoleon Hill teach in the book The NEW Think and Grow Rich?" Well, I advised them to read that book dozens and dozens of times-to read it 'til you catch on fire. The day that you catch yourself on fire-because it has to be done by you-your life will change immensely for the better. Forever. Permanently. It's a long-term gig you're involved in.

I was in my 30‘s, and on one of many trips from Califo ia to the Midwest to visit my parents. I arrived on this earth late in their lives and we hadn’t shared a lot of intimacy up until that time. I was sitting with my mom in the living room, and can vividly remember her revealing something truly intimate that has stayed with me the rest of my life. She said that she could never believe she was looking at herself when she looked in the mirror.

Do you know a person who will do practically anything to get what they want or achieve any goals they have set? Many times, you will see people in this world who will take advantage of others and be totally dishonest just to get ahead in life. They do and say anything and everything to reach the top of the mountain.

One of the frequent questions I receive is, "What makes The NEW Think and Grow Rich, and Think and Grow Rich, so special?" It's not necessarily that people are asking, "Why are you saying that it's so special?" If I were in advertising, that would be a logical question. If I were advertising ...

The other night a friend from years ago visited. He’s going through hard times and felt down on his luck. I wanted to help so I asked him to tell me his story. He began by blaming his life’s downturn on the economy. He said outside forces were to blame. He knew all the right things to do, did them, and yet life just threw rocks at him until he broke down. I listened and decided that to be of the best service to him, I had to put on my ‘tough love’ gloves and be a good

YOUR VALUES ARE A REFLECTION OF YOU Your values drive your behavior, which in turn, will show your character to others. What we value is reflected in the lives that we live. Think about it. How we speak, how we conduct ourselves, how we treat others, all are a reflection of who we really are. When you look in the mirror it reflects back at you. Your values, like the mirror, can only reflect back who you are. Therefore, spend time first reflecting on your values before you ac

It's amazing to me just how many people go to a hotel presentation or a home party and see a presentation, get excited about the products, buy them and join a MLM or Network Marketing business. The majority of these people buy on emotion. After all, that's what sales are all about right?

Life is a rollercoaster at the best of times. When times are good, we feel the elation and fun of being here, and we want to share our joy with the world. When times are bad, either we do not want to face anyone, or nobody wants to face our misery. Where do we find our solace and peace during ...

As I speak all over the world I teach the process: "What you sow, you shall reap" It is a principle that is based upon whatever you do today will predict your future. You can't dispute the fact, it's not fiction, it's fact, that what you do today will predict your future. I see hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs failing because they try to force feed and shorten the success process by making some moves and decisions that are not full of integrity. One of the most deadliest seeds that you as a responsible decision maker can make is by not walking in integrity.

Getting what you want does not have to be a confusing task. There is a process that makes it easier. Here are three steps to getting what you want. Get Clear.

Write down everything that comes to mind when you think of your dream.

The Beatles did it before becoming world famous. Bill Gates did it before becoming one of the world's richest men. And Abraham Lincoln did it before becoming one of America's most honored President. Malcolm Gladwell, author of Outliers, maintains that anyone who expects to become world-class at anything had better plan on doing it. And what is IT? IT is practicing thousands and thousands of hours. Gladwell says 10,000 hours. In the case of the Beatles, they played night after

I've always hated the term "psychotherapy" because it makes it sound as if a mind searching for wisdom is like a sore muscle needing to be rubbed. Indeed, therapists are often blamed for getting their patients to "feel better" at the expense of dulling their awareness that the world is a crazy ...

Success is one of those words that doesn't really have a clear definition. In fact, many times, one person's success is another person's failure. So it's safe to say that success is a relative term. For some people success is fame, for others it's fortune and for some it's as simple as being able to spend less time at the office and more time with their family. However, one of the universal definitions for true success is doing something that you love. Many would agree that any task is more fun when you really love what you're doing.

It is something that all parents attempt to provide their children with and something that many parents feel inadequate doing: raising a child that is self-confident. Self-esteem many times seems like a fragile and distant development that we all know what it is but are clueless when it comes to how to develop it. Your self-esteem consists of many different aspects of how you feel and see yourself. It literally affects every aspect of your life from relationships, to your work life, and your body image. So how does a parent build this important aspect in their children?

You would be amazed at how many of us lack self confidence and actually have quite a low opinion of ourselves, believing that we are incapable of achieving any success, and so willingly bend to other peoples' will to keep them happy, rather than ourselves. There is usually no valid reason for this other than it's something we've grown up with and got used to from an early age. There are various reasons for this, possibly ranging from being bullied as a child, to just "going with the flow" for a supposedly easier life.

What does it mean when someone claims his or her work is art? Some people actually do make their work into an art form. In addition to competence and real talent, their accomplishments stem from their strong belief that what they do is art. Raising one’s every day work to the level of art is, as much as anything, an exercise of will.nnArt takes the mundane and transforms it by infusing it with something special.

Not often thought about is how your favorite brands help you meet intrinsic emotional needs for love, safety, security, comfort, acceptance, and relationships with other people.

I have a good friend who never wants to be in a hurry. She resists, even resents the push of modern life with its call for urgent attention to unimportant details. With a flippant click she ignores the barrage of emails asking her to forward sentiments, hoaxes and propaganda for and against vital (to the sender) causes and issues. With whimsy, she categorically deletes whole blocks of messages, folders and censorious/salacious solicitations. Television she completely refuses,
