How I Managed My Fearful And Negative Thoughts

By: Stan Popovich As an author of a managing fear book, I had my share of dealing with my fearful and negative thought in my professional career and personal life. The first thing I learned was to replace my negative thoughts with positive statements. For example, I would have a difficult time in getting ready to take my exams in college. I would get all kinds of negative thoughts telling me that I would fail and that I would not pass. These thoughts would get the best of me before I even took my exams.

In fact, evidence suggests that man had an extensive relationship with the poppy plant and opium 30,000 years ago during the Neolithic age. But while some experts might argue that this cannot be substantiated there is clear a

The Power Within You

I am on a spiritual sabbatical in the Gulf of Mexico and today the sun has decided to hide behind the shady clouds above. I know it is still there even though I can't see it or feel its warm rays. The same goes with our Spirits. Like the sun, it is hidden, unseen, but that does not mean it is not thriving and actively guiding us every day. As we grow older and lose touch with the power within us, we allow our senses to guide us, many times in the wrong direction.

How I Broke The Vicious Cycle Of Worry And Fear

By: Stan Popovich Taking Exams at Penn State was the toughest part at being at Penn State. Each exam was %35 worth your final grade at the end of the semester.

Dance of Solitude

While on a cruise with my husband David, we decided to take a side excursion in Dominica to a beautiful rainforest. We were there to go tubing down what were supposed to be gentle rapids. I started getting nervous when I was strapped into a heavy duty life jacket but it was too late to turn back as I would have been left alone in the jungle. So off we hiked to get to the river and begin our mile gentle ride down. The river looked pretty calm as we slid on top of our inner tubes and lined up neatly in a row. Not too bad, I thought.

Trending Toward the End of Greed

In the 1987 film Wall Street, actor Michael Douglas lent an oily authenticity to the character of Gordon Gekko, an archetypal portrayal of the American Capitalist at his worst. In an oft-quoted cinematic speech before a fictional stockholders’ meeting, Gekko made a blunt sales pitch for the ethos of short-term, self-serving profit above all other considerations: “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed — for lack of a better word — is good.
