I had spent the better part of a week in a sleep-deprived delirium brought on by a vicious little souvenir (aka respiratory infection) I had carted home from a recent vacation. I had tried every known natural remedy to stave it offâfrom homeopathic elixirs to Chinese herbal tonics and from aromatherapy immersion to megadoses of vitamin everything, all to no avail. nnI graduated to nightly Nyquil benders and holed up in the guest bedroom to spare my husband from the incessan

People frequently ask me, "If you're the author of The NEW Think and Grow Rich, then how come you're not driving a Rolls Royce?" Well, it's real simple—I don't want a Rolls Royce, except maybe when I'm speaking and making appearances. And on select occasions when I wanted the staging, I have rented a Rolls AND a chauffeur. The truth of the matter is, however, I want to blend in, so I'm not a target for thieves and crooks. That's real simple, and that's good sense.
Creating an effective CV can be quite a daunting task. When faced with a blank piece of paper we are often left asking ourselves what information needs to be included. How do I word details so that it looks positive for me? Does it matter if I make spelling mistakes? How should I present it? The best place to start is to make sure you have all the facts in place. So a good tip is to sit down with a notebook and starting from your earliest age write down all your qualification
It's no laughing matter today. If you're an employee, or a business owner—especially if you're an employee—your job is at risk. People are hearing it in record numbers. You’ve got to recognize that there is no security out there now. And you better recognize that if something does come as a setback in your life, it could get "nasty" if you've been living like most employees—that is, if you take your current paycheck and you try to pay your current bills… and you may even have credit card debt.

“Food is a right; good food is a privilege; safe food is a responsibility”. This needs to be the dictum that dictates our food habits and nothing else.

Access to food is the primary right of citizens it shall be ensured with access to at least two square meals a day.
Plans are for the future and the futility of planning for tomorrow and unpredictability of tomorrow is best pictured by Omar Khayyam, a Persian tent maker, through his 21st Rubayath.

I keep on finding my mind returning to the recent talk I attended by English Poet David Whyte. His words about being fully human struck a strong cord in me. He talked about humans being as the only species that isnât fully who they are. My observations are that we humans do a variety of things that sell ourselves short. nnHere are some of the ways we do that:nn⢠We seek the approval of others to the point of not being who we are in hopes they will have a favorable opinion

There is a very powerful connection between "body n mind". Our minds are the repositories of all of our pre-programmed reactions and response patterns. Our bodies are the vehicles through which our emotional reactions arise and are expressed. Emotion is your body's reaction to your mind. Emotion is the felt response to a thought, so for those of us who tend to identify very strongly with our thinking (which is to say most of us most of the time) there is a corresponding emoti
Get outside your comfort zone. Yes, we say that again and again, and yes, you need to hear that again and again—as, by the way, do I. We all have a comfort zone—and even if it expands, we still have a comfort zone. Every desire, dream, and ambition that you have not realized lies outside that comfort zone. Everything that you have is within that comfort zone. And as human animals—really, I say human animals, but pretty much it's the same with all animals, as far as we can observe—you need to exercise your divinity.
Accept that life is imperfect—and that's perfect—and deal with what emerges. You know, so many people get backed up and stopped up, and then fall into the blame mode because something didn't happen the way they wanted. Someone didn't offer them what they wanted, be it that opportunity, that job, or maybe someone stood in their way. Things aren't going the way they like, and maybe someone else is so lucky. The fact of the matter is, life is perfect. That is life. The definition of life is that it's always going to change.
The most important quality for success in entrepreneurship and in life is the quality of optimism.nnOptimists have an unrealistic expectation of success. As a result, they are willing to try far more things without becoming discouraged.

Optimism is a wonderful quality as long as you have it under control.nn Temper Your Optimism nIn order to be succ

There's no such thing as a relationship that is so perfect, that it never experiences conflict. Because people aren't perfect, this means that their relationships won't be perfect either and as such, differences of opinion or personality clashes are going to happen. You might find that these differences of opinions happen with your kids, friends, or even with your spouse. It can be with people that you hold important to you in the community as well. The fact is that everyone has their own opinions and as such, there are going to be differences in those opinions.

Do something different. I was on a coaching call recently with a gentleman who happens to be 30 years old now, but at the time we met he was 24. And he was ambitious—he wanted to earn more money, and of course he was grown-up, pure middle class American. So he did what everybody told him to do. His first dream was to double his income. By the way, his later dreams have expanded—"What must I absolutely, positively do to make my annual income my monthly income?" was a question he asked himself later. But originally, he was doing what they told him to do.

Man is a product of habits and habits die hard. Habits speak on the type of life one leads. Some of our habits can provide for a better way of life, while some can be detrimental. Habits are acts one has practised way down life. They are actions or acts that we do almost involuntarily, very often repeatedly due to non-interference from exte al forces. Good habits can be inculcated and practised. With conscious effort, some habits that have proved detrimental can be changed to advantage. Here is an effort to document some and propositions to change habits to one’s advantage.
With the advent of COVID 19, almost a year ago in the United States, there has been a transformation in how we look at ourselves, our relationships, work, and as a society in general. Where pre-COVID we trafficked in a currency of confidence and a “can-do” attitude we now use the currency of fear. Fear shuts down connections. Fear shuts down conversations. Fear shuts down moving forward. Fear isolates us. As social human beings this last one, isolation, is the one that has wr
Since marketing on the internet is a relatively 'new frontier' for many one of the biggest assets you will need to succeed is your patience. In reality even the so called internet marketing expert can not claim many years of experience since the industry is still in the infancy stages.

Being self confident is just about a mandatory requirement for anyone seeking to become successful in any aspect of their lives! This is based upon the fact that the more successful people out there did NOT get that way by accident, but rather by their will and effort! To sustain this effort normally requires an inner drive which in most cases is directly related to your confidence level! Without the feeling you can succeed it becomes very difficult or even impossible to do s
Choices. Weâre surrounded by a million of them every day; big and small. They affect our professional, private, social and spiritual lives. We want to make excellent decisions, but under pressure it doesnât always seem that easy. For many years I have been involved in the education of college students. After witnessing some of their stumbling, I began to give a little pep talk at the beginning of each freshman year. The plan was to encourage them to fight the good fight a
There are times I hate that quote: Self Improvement. It contains “Self” what basically means I have “to do” something and it contains “Improvement” what means; “You can do better”. To accomplish that I need more motivation than: ”personal growth”, to succeed. nnBy now, you must have noticed English is not my first language. No matter what I try (to improve); there still are odd sentences, typos and possibly verb abus
I sport around town in a late model Acura TL. It's nothing super exceptional—I'm not bragging on it—but it is a sports car. It's a four-door charcoal-silver color, and it has a 250-horsepower, automatic transmission. Now, why I tell you this—a thing I never dreamed I'd be telling you—is because I've always wondered what Marshall Sylver means when he says, "Power is for use." I've never quite interpreted that until recently, while driving on the interstate. You know me—I'm a very nice and polite guy.
Go the extra mile, and you'll be thinking and acting like the world's elite warriors and achievers. Go the extra mile, and you will be spectacular—you will stand head and shoulders above your competitors. And the amazing thing is, as I have said time and time again, it takes so little to actually go that extra mile, that it's amazing more people don't. Does it take being disciplined? Yes. Does it take keeping your health in top form? Yes. Does it take being active in your business? Yes.
