People from all types of background have gone on to achieve success at staggering heights. We've all heard this song and dance before; that it doesn't matter where you are from or what your circumstances were, but rather, where you are going. Since success and background are independent, it begs the question, why do some people choose success, and why do some people choose not to succeed? Success tends to be the result of a decision on our part. At the end of the day, wheth

Personal Healthcare is a moral choice; government healthcare as planned is mostly immoral. #1. We should understand that the body is designed for self-healing. Cuts, burns and broken bones heal; so will ulcers. Even heart disease is reversible if we are willing to change our habits of eating, drinking or smoking and live in harmony with natural laws and the body’s healing mechanisms. #2. Government healthcare is really not healthcare, it’s medical care that is necessary when we don’t take care of ourselves.

In January, on the heels of the death of one of my dearest, closest friends, I quit my office job. Well, the job was godawful to begin with, anyway, but the false money-guru in my head kept saying, “But I need the money, but I need the money!” And I stayed. Until Randy died. Then I said to myself, “You know, if dying at 50 is a life, it’s not worth it. I’ve got to get out of this way of living.” What is another way of saying “this way of living”? Paradigm. My new favorite word. Only I didn’t know I was embracing a new paradigm at the time.

The Obvious But Most Misunderstood Quality Behind Success Byr Bill Cottringer “I look for a role that hopefully I feel empathy with and that I can understand and love, but also that has that challenge for me to play - a different kind of role, a different type of character, a different time period.” ~Kathy Bates

A Mission Every Employer Has with Every Employee Byr Dr. Bill Cottringer “The obscure takes a while to see, but the obvious even longer.” ~Anonymous. The above quote relates to a lesso I seem to have to keep relea ing and remembering from the first book I wrote several years ago—“You Can Have Your Cheese & Eat It Too.” The important lesson is in understanding how to do this by understanding the opening quote. Oddly, the solution to this challenging paradox is rather obvious, yet obvious things usually take longer to see than even more obscure ones.

When facing a problem, what are the next steps that you take? Do you sit there and complain about the wall in front of you or do you say, "What can I do to resolve this?" There is no problem in the world that is unsolvable. Some problems are very difficult, but I believe that there is no problem that is unsolvable. Let's have an example: let's say that we are $1,000 in debt and need to get out of debt to buy a new house. This problem is solvable; people are able to get out of

TERRIBLE CHOICES Byr Bill Cottringer “We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.” ~Kahlil Gibran. There are some terrible choices we seem to have to make through all ages. Consider the following very uncomfortable choices confronting us all at different times in our lives: • Youth: The choice of staying cool with the peer group and doing whatever that requires—even engaging in wrong or illegal behavior—and then suffering the dire consequences vs.

The Ego DietnBy Bill Cottringe nn “Learning that just increases self-importance and autonomy, isn’t really learning at that point, it is over-nourishment of the ego, just like too much food causes the body to become obese.” ~The author.nnn We pretty well understand the importance of ...

Healthy humans are both blessed and challenged by a drive to be all that we can be. We’re too often tortured, though, by internal and exte al signals that tell us we have to be more, better and different than who we really are. All great traditions teach about a noble seed that is unique in ...

It doesn’t matter where you want to go – the next city, the local store, a new life – the starting point must always be where you are right now. Every process of change begins by determining exactly where we are, then deciding where we want to go and then creating an action plan for moving forward with confidence.r

We live in a world where it’s hard to be perceived as a success, where being wealthy necessitates enormous amounts of money, where being good in sport necessitates huge acclaim and fame. This in turn can become an attack on the truth of who you really are. When you place heroes on a pedestal, above you, what you’re really doing is denying a big part of your Self. Admire others, acknowledge and celebrate their achievements, but don’t defeat your Self in the process. It’s far too easy to live exclusively in a world of comparisons and far too easy to forget just exactly who you are.

When things get out of our control, danger lurks in the sidelines. Each of us has had situation occur where we seemed to have been tossed into the middle of a trial of which we had no control - a trial by fire. In Proverbs 17:3 Solomon teaches "The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart." This, of course is allusion to the method that a goldsmith or silversmith uses to purify gold or silver ore. I watched a goldsmith take a small pot filled with what looked to me like dirt and small rocks. He told me that this was gold ore.

The Best Way To Love Byr Bill Cottringer “Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”

People everywhere have incredible ideas, reachable goals, and untapped potential – but they are far more scared of actually accomplishing their dreams than they are of failing to achieve them. The reason is because being average or just good is certainly easier than the work required to become great or successful in anything. And yet, usually it is not the work and effort that most frightens us, it is the lack of belief in ourselves and that our dreams are possible that dictates our decisions of not taking action, never taking risks, and becoming content with mediocrity.

How Do I Change My Life? Are you happy? Please note that I'm not asking if you FEEL happy. I'm asking if you ARE happy.

Happiness is a founding value of our culture. Remember that oft-quoted phrase in the Declaration of Independence?

" Life is an endless unfolding, and if we wish it to be, an endless process of self-discovery, an endless and unpredictable dialogue between our own potentialities and the life situations in which we find ourselves. By potentialities I mean not just intellectual gifts but the full range of one's capacities for learning, sensing, wondering, understanding, loving and aspiring. "rnJohn Gardner It frustrates me to hear my friends, clients or colleagues talk about their plans for

This is a short but sweet mindset shift that can dramatically improve your life. It definitely has changed the quality of my life for the better. Normally, people go through their lives and get pushed and pulled around by their emotions, causing their moods to be a direct result of what happens to them. This is a result of mental attachment, which according to Buddhism is the root of all suffering. Attachment to specific outcomes, people, objects, etc, is not healthy because when things go “wrong,” as they always seem to do, people feel negative emotions.

"The winds and waves are always on the side of the best navigators." — Edward Gibbon, English historian Leaders look beyond the current situation – beyond what is, to what could be. That's why leadership is all about change. It's why leadership is action, not a position. Growing our leadership is also a dynamic process. It begins at the center of our being and develops in multiple directions, each represented by the timeless leadership principles described in The Leader's

A narcissist contains a way of turning everything all over so you commence to issue on your own. He'll do a thing terribly imply or cruel. You may discuss to him about it, but because of the conclude from the dialogue, you're the single apologizing for a few rationale. A narcissist appreciates ways to manipulate better than any person. In my experience, a narcissist ultimately will become sarcastic and belittles you constantly. You start to sense you are able to do practicall

There’s only one thing I hate worse than mopping the floors… …and that’s dealing with the endless emails that come into my inbox. I’m not talking about the stupid once-in-a-lifetime-do-it-right-now-or-die kinds of emails, I’m talking about the legitimate things you need to deal with. Things like requests from vendors, employees and contractors. Or “what do you want for your birthday” emails from Mom. If you know anyone that sends email (and I’m sure you do), you are dealing with this too.

How well have your success strategies served you over the last year? Have you even got any: Take a look back at your life over the past 12 months and tally up the scores.

An Ever-Growing Gap Between Managers And Employees In The Information Age Byr William Cottringer When we first started on the path of the Information Age in the early eighties, we had no earthly idea where it was going to take us. Ironically, here in 2014, we still don’t know the answer to this question because the possibilities keep expanding. And, there is no end in sight if what they say about knowledge doubling every few years is true.

James Gray’s “Two Lovers” with Joaquin Phoenix, Gwenth Paltrow, and Vinessa Shaw was an amusing, but predictable movie. The plot involved a confused young man carrying on with two completely different lovers—one very passionate, slightly out-of-reach relationship with all sorts of possibilities, good and bad, and the other a comfortable love that he could easily grow into. He follows his heart and gets jilted at the last minute in his plans to run away with the hoped-for love, but luckily still has the comfortable, fall-back relationship as an alte ative to his suicidal thoughts.
