Temper tantrums. They're a great way of putting a problem off until a later time. They feel good, they're just plain fun to have sometimes. Give you a sense of power, don't they? Did you know that most of the time, when you have a real temper tantrum you have given up just about all your ...

Human life, like the life cycle of your planet, follows cycles. In order for there to be new growth in Spring, first there must be the death of the old growth in Fall and Winter. In order for there to be creation, there must be destruction. That is the nature of this reality.
Do you feel purpose and passion in all areas of your life? * Your spiritual life? * Your financial and job/career? * Your relationships? * Your personal time and growth? * Your health and well being? * Your legacy/contribution (people, community, world)? In which areas of your personal, professional or spiritual life do you feel on fire? Which ones don’t you feel ignited by? Wouldn’t it be great if you could feel purpose and passion in all areas? It is possible, and it begins with you.
The recent mass killing in Orlando made me pause and reflect. I felt sad and sent love and prayers to the victims and their loved ones. I felt angry that assault weapons are on our streets and can fall into the hands of destructive zealots and mentally ill people. I felt anxious for the future safety of my loved ones and other innocent people. For a brief time I thought about how fragile life can be and how it could affect me. I quickly turned my attention to the global outpouring of love to the victims of this tragedy and my own resolve to focus on the positive.
What do the Kepler planet-hunting spacecraft, measurements of gravitational waves and pulsars, the study of epigenetics, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios Star Wars fireworks have in common? And, what do they have to do with integrative wellness? These accomplishments, and so many more, excite me because creative, brilliant minds are making a positive difference in every walk of life. The scientists, engineers and other experts who go beyond perceived limitations give me hope for a brighter future.
In a time of recession, there is a reluctant tendency to lower prices. Rather than targeting people who can’t afford your services, target the ones who can. Think of creative pricing strategies to keep your existing customers and to get new ones. Offer discounts to only your loyal repeat customers, and or only for premium purchases.
In the spring of 1999, while grocery shopping I was approached by a man who wanted my advice on choosing a piece of meat. I wasn't sure, and told him so. He asked another man, who had even less idea tha I did because he was a vegetarian. An older woman joined us wanting to know what was best, ...
America, there is a giant elephant in our living room. It is fear. It takes the form of racism, sexism, lying, cheating, name-calling, rumor and innuendo mongering. It's ugly and it does not become us. As the presidential elections draw nearer, I find my inbox bombarded with sleazy attacks on ...
TB Wright Part II In the first of these three articles, some ways of giving up judging were provided so that we can free that negative energy up from what doesn’t work, to what does work in our lives. Why do this? Because it's energy that we already have, and are already using, but not necessarily devoted toward that which has us be successful, and successful in any area of our lives you can imagine. What does work? What we say works. It's our voice, our choice. More ways for giving up judgments will be provided here, because it seems as if our judging process is endless. It is!
Picture this: a McDonalds restaurant in Southern Florida on a Saturday afte oon. n One of the crew members, a typical young male teenager is on his break. He sits down at the dining room table getting ready to dig into his fast food meal. He takes out his Whopper and starts chomping.n ...
Last month two young female Army officers made history by becoming the first two women to complete the elite Army Ranger course—a two month training program that demands physical strength, mental discipline and endurance. Approximately one-quarter of the applicants for this grueling army training complete it. Of the 400 candidates (19 women) who participated in the current two-month training, 94 men and 2 woman graduated. I am in awe of these amazing women because they pushed themselves to their limit, accomplished their goal and raised the bar for other women. Brava!
Everything occurring in your life is precisely the right timing for your optimal growth. When things are running smoothly in your relationships, your career, your finances, your health, and your personal enjoyment time, it's quite easy to feel that you're in the right place at the right time; that life is good.
During a recent segment on an ESPN sports show, Andre Iguodala of the Philadelphia 76ers was being interviewed by one of the show's reporters. As the hour wound down, the in-studio host asked Mr. Iguodala, "Why did you do the interview outside? It's so cold, and you're not even wearing a hat." Iguodala replied, "Hey that's how President Obama did it -- in the cold with no hat. I have to step it up."n nIguodala then went on to mention how excited he was about President Obama,
We're in Thailand, and it's absolutely amazing! To travel to faraway adventurous and exotic places with our family of seven is a long-cherished dream come true. We'd never thought it would happen until one day we let go of plenty of excuses not to do it. Have you ever experienced that when you leave your safety zone, it isn't as scary as you think? That, in fact, it's easier to connect to the "brave and real you" because your authentic self doesn't have fear? Like sitting wit
Key #7 Gratitude’s Gift "Gratitude is the fairest blossom which springs from the soul." - Henry Ward Beeche The 7th key found in the novel "the 100th human," is truly one that opens the door to enlightenment. Gratitude can be found on a myriad of pathways that all lead to God. ...
TB Wright Imagine yourself laying on your deathbed, knowing you are never going to get up again. No, not to make yourself feel bad, but for the purpose of distilling what is important to you right from the story of your own life. How can we feel bad about dying anyway? We haven't experienced it yet, and it's an inevitable fact for every single one of us. So, you're on that bed and many thoughts are going through your mind. What do you imagine you are thinking that you should have done different. Good, now we'll take some more time to organize your thoughts. Okay, that's enough.
So much life conditioning inhibits the brilliance that is in you. Are you accessing all that is available to you? As a brilliant coach, as a creative person, as a brilliant human-being, as a brilliant spiritual being, as a bright light in the world, you have access to so much abundance. Are you ...
Are you tied down by your negative disruptive thoughts? Thoughts come and go but are rooted and tied down to the internal thought structures. These structures can change with the high frequency of love and gratitude. Imagine lying on the floor with weights strapped all over your body. Your ...
I was all excited. I upgraded my gym membership to "Black Card" status. Ten dollars a month more, which was a small price to pay for the enhanced benefits. No, it wasn't the tanning beds. No, it wasn't half price on the cooler drinks. No, it wasn't the privilege of bringing a guest for free ...
What is it about discovering something new or interesting that opens our eyes and hearts a little bit wider? Our breath slows, our thoughts cease, and we move into the present moment to really experience the newness. It’s in this space where everything else stops dominating our perceptions that ...
TB Wright Part III Now that you have read the first two articles conce ing judgments, you are sufficiently prepared to go on and practice these techniques for giving up judgments, both visible, and invisible: First of all, even before completing this list of things to do, it is important to start with one beginning task. This task is to decide in advance, just what you are going to use all your newly released energy for. Giving up judgments releases a lot of energy. Either you decide what it's going to be used for, or something else will.

Life is filled with glorious and not so glorious experiences. What constitutes lows for each person varies. For some, the smallest things may set them off. For instance, the weather may put a damper on their day, or someone says something that sends them into a frenzy. Perhaps something goes wrong at work or home that leaves them sputtering or stewing, or maybe they have to wait in line, or someone cuts them off while driving or takes a parking space, etc. For others these may seem trivial compared to losing a job, loved one, or coping with addictions or illnesses.
I would like to talk about the idea of positive change. It is vital to your personal growth goals. It is in human nature to be an ever-changing species. If you wrote down a list today of all the things you believe you are, you bet it'll be wrong by tomorrow. The fact is that each day your body's metabolism ages minutely and you collect new mental and physical experiences from the environment around you. It is strange then that so many people are terrified by the concept of ch
While speaking with a health care provider recently, I said these words: “I feel as though I am walking in my own shoes.” In that moment, a stillness filled my body as I allowed this truth to resonate with me. I could see how after more than 40 years of self-discovery, my life reflected ME—what is important at the core of my being. In that moment, life felt sacred and I felt exhilarated. I wondered how many people truly enjoy lives that reflect their own agenda, not an agenda set in motion by an exte al someone or something.
Influence. We all want it. Some for different purposes than others. Some want to attract customers or clients. Some want to get people to do things that serve their own interests, or that of someone else they regard. Some want to attract a partner, spouse, child, big sack o' money, ...
I don't know about you, but I love giving! Not because of the thanks or the credit received by doing something kind for someone, but because you can't help but feel good right down to your toes. Emmanuel Swedenborg said, "Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we don't get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is a kindness in everything we think, say, want, and do."
This past January, my mate al grandmother, Jessie Hunter, passed away after ninety-five exceptional years. I would like to dedicate this article to her, and share with you the model of her success. Born Jessie M. Culp in Detroit, 1911, she was president of her high school graduating class, ...
Let It Begin from Within in 2010. It's a cute jingle but what does it really mean anyway? How can this be helpful to you in your real life? The intention of this article is to provide you with something that is both inspirational to feel and practical to do to begin from within in 2010. We human beings occupy a unique place in the world. We're said to have both an animal nature and divine nature. Think about it, like animals, we certainly have survival needs, desire to experience pleasure and want to be powerful. Don't you?
America, there is a giant elephant in our living room. It is fear. It takes the form of racism, sexism, lying, cheating, name-calling, rumor and innuendo mongering. It's ugly and it does not become us. As the presidential elections draw nearer, I find my inbox bombarded with sleazy attacks on ...
Are you a Modern Urban Hero?” Only you can answer this, yet the fact that you’re reading this, is an indicator.
Like a crystal full of light and reflecting all the colors of the rainbow, we are each filled with a brilliance that manifests into our lives whatever colors we choose. When we disconnect from this inner source of abundance we experience a lack of light and color in the form of scarcity, worry ...
The first step to “Star Power!” is to value yourself. This is the job for your Authentic Self, not your Ego. Judgments and opinions are the Ego’s yardstick – valuing and appreciating who we are and all we go through constitute your Authentic Self. It takes a long search before you can answer the question, “Who am I?”, through identifying with your Inner creative Authentic Self; that is, the you that hears the question and responds spontaneously…as you really are and feel it,
TB Wright What? When is less, more? Less is more when that more is more satisfaction, more joy, more money, and more of all the wealth you can imagine, and more. Where wealth is defined in the online seminar I do with participants as "an increase in anything that is important to you." Anything! Wow! That sure covers a lot. It sure does. How about, anything! Okay, now what's the catch? The catch is, in order to experience this more, you are going to have to give up a lot of nothing.
Network marketing has enabled more people to become independently wealthy, home based business owners than any other industry; it is truly an equal opportunity business model. Anybody can succeed in network marketing regardless of age, race, religious belief, educational background, hair color ...
Change can happen but you have to be ACTIVE to make real change. The old stories continually play in our minds, our hearts and our lives. The ideas and the meaning we make up for past events can color present and future events. They can cloud our decisions and hinder our progress. Barack Obama titled his book the "Audacity of Hope."(http://www.amazon.com/Audacity-Hope-Thoughts-Reclaiming-American/dp/0307455874) I believe that it takes audacity to make real change, especially the types of change we desperately need now. And that audacity inherently leads us to action.
Ahrazu is a Sirian Being commonly known as the Egyptian God Osiris, brother and husband of Isis. (Osiris is the Greek name. The Ancient Egyptians called him Asar, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, or Ausare.) In the myth of Isis and Osiris, Osiris’s brother Set is jealous of Osiris and eventually cuts his body into pieces and buries the pieces in the earth. Ahrazu told me that this story is symbolic of Ahrazu fragmenting part his energetic self (Oversoul) into individual fragments (Souls) and casting them into physical inca ation.
There have been some big bursts of energy arriving on the planet. These can feel pretty intense, bringing up anxiety, worry and fear. You might be experiencing tightness in your solar plexus making it hard to take a deep breath, digestive disturbances or feeling weak, exhausted or shaky. Another possibility is heart palpitations. Luckily for me when this happened in the stationary store my magical daughter was with me. She put her hand over my heart and made it all better! Another possibility is allergy like symptoms, manifesting on your skin (itch, itch) or sinuses (ah-chooo!).
In this article I'm going to discuss why it's so very important to embrace change in every aspect (the good, the bad, the ugly). There is a popular song titled: "Everything Must Change", which has been recorded by a number of artists. One of the recurring lyrics is: "Everything must change, nothing remains the same". Boy, ain’t that the truth!
I certainly have had my fair share of starting over, from jobs, to relationships, to finances, to moving, to working on a project, and even to the newsletters I write. I used to become really stressed when things changed, especially over the ones that would impact my life. I would get myself so worked up thinking the worst was about to happen, as my experiences were leading me to believe it was always going to be that way, and out of my control to change.

Hi everyone, and welcome to April! To be honest, what I have to share with you about April is somewhat of a repeat of March, as the core energy, frequency, and vibration for the month was derived from the number 1 energy. However, there is one slight difference for April, as back in March, we were encouraged to step out of the comfort zone of our Ego-Self and do something new, whereas this month, the number 1 is accompanied by the number 0, giving us a pretty strong number 10
When you are planning a big move, there are a number of things that you are going to keep in mind. Whether you are moving from an apartment to your new bungalow or if you are moving to a new state or country, the moving process involves lot of factors. First thing which comes to our mind is that the packing should be good so that all your valuables reach the destination in a proper condition. You need a mover and packer company. Usually, the full service moving companies offe
The heart is one of the most vital organs in the human body: It keeps your blood flowing to supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. On a spiritual level, our heart is our centre; our being. It contains balance, compassion, self-love, unconditional love, and our dreams and desires. Emotional stress, anger and physical inactivity have an adverse effect on our physical heart and can lead to heart disease and strokes.
I work with a number of coaching clients who are building other aspects of their lives besides the ones they're used to. The usual stuff: network marketing businesses, coaching practices, traditional businesses, etc. Some of these amazing people have figured out they're in the wrong line of ...
Are you a truth seeker? In those first moments of recognizing a new awareness or concept as a truth, your body usually confirms what your mind acknowledges. How do you recognize truth? When something strikes you as true, do you feel it as a sensation in your heart, head or body? Whether the new insight is profound or simple, personal or transpersonal—truth frees you from a limiting perception and opens you to an expansive possibility that feels “right” for you. Yet this is just the beginning because you must cultivate this new awareness and put it into action.
Will December 21, 2012 be the end of the world? If you study the Mayans and their philosophy, you will find that their social, economic and spiritual systems were built on cycles. Cycles go around, the end of one cycle is always the beginning of another. December 21, 2012 is the end of a 5125 year cycle called the Long Count Calendar. The Mayans measured long time periods by means of a Long Count, in which one 360-day year (a "Tun"), consists of 18 x 20-day "months" ("Uinals").
Just completed teaching the July Audition Intensive in New York City. I kept it simple this year. I gave a few of my pertinent notes about what industry professionals are looking for (CD, Directors, Producers, Agent, Managers) then Part 2 - I did private coaching – and working for the style of different Directors. Then Part 3 was about Image and Personal Story – good auditions, good quick results. The whole intensive lasted approximately 6 hours. I’ve taught Actors to auditi
There is no limit to living your potential when you imbibe self-discipline into your life. As Jim Rohn said, âSUCCESS is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while FAILURE is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.â It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure. Discipline yourself to complete your most important tasks on schedule. What is self-discipline? It is the re
In my previous article, we took a close examination of the network marketing industry as a viable option for home based business entrepreneurs. It is my firm belief that the current economic catastrophe we’re going through today will spawn thousands of new, home based businesses. People today ...
