The world expands when you dare to ask. The lever of the question mark moves mountains. Are you interested in meeting me later for tea? Will you sell it now, for less, for cash? Did you mean to hurt me? What will it take for you to accept me into the program? Can we restructure […]
As a human, you thrive on free movement. As a sensitive being, you also thrive on positive response to stimuli. Imagine the first bite into ripe fruit. Juice drips down your chin. You laugh. You use your hand to wipe your face. You lick your hand. You lean forward and bite again, let the drips […]
We live in times when more individuals are sharing more of their knowledge with more people than ever before. Amazing, wise, compassionate, generous people offer free inspiration on whatever topic has you flummoxed. Tap into it. Follow your mouse to the help you crave. Listen to audio broadcasts, browse websites, discover free seminars, read blog […]
We humans are generally proud creatures who prefer admiration over ridicule. If you require finesse at every step of the way, life will dole out only the dullest rewards. Certainly you have natural talents, areas in which you exhibit natural finesse. We all do. But it’s human nature to strive toward goals that challenge us, […]
The Vortex of Anxiety can be indiscriminate, sucking in whatever’s nearby, quickly growing stronger and suckier. Don’t let this happen to you. When the dirty sink, the unsent birthday cards, and the way you’ve never really been properly loved fall into the vortex of the job interview that bombed, your mantra is simply, “Oh, never […]
Mature people take responsibility for their actions. If you find yourself scowling through your days, finding fault wherever you look, or unable to crack your foul mood, then consider the source. It’s unlikely that everything, everyone, everywhere really is awful. Maybe you need to take a good look at what age you’re stuck in. When […]
There’s that moment in which you do the wrong thing because it feels good. And then there are all the moments afterwards when you remember what you did. Yuck. There’s that moment in which you do the right thing, even though it hurts. And then there are all the moments afterwards when you benefit from […]
Where did you finally find the thing you’d lost – the car keys, the photo, the phone number? It was in the last place you looked, right? Faith fulfilled works the same way. If you stop looking before you get to that last place, you won’t find what you yearn for. What you seek waits […]
Push. Push. Push. And if that doesn’t accelerate the dream quickly enough, then push from a different angle. But pushing – that’s a given, right? Nope. Pushing maintains the swirl. Sometimes, what’s out of sight and zooming toward you isn’t quite here yet. A leap in another direction doesn’t always land you in a more […]
What great joy can you never get enough of? What thrills you to talk about or think about or do? What marvelous topic makes you feel fully awake, primed, plugged in, and raring to go? It’s there, somewhere – the thing that takes you out of time and returns you rekindled in every way. If […]
I don’t care if you haven’t been out of the house in a year. I don’t care if you’re addicted to alcohol, co-dependence, cheese, or heroin. I don’t care if you’re the poster child for pitifulness. All of that is about the lessons you already know you need to learn. It’s old news. What I […]
Groping moves you forward when you’re low-down. Winging it involves a launch and a rush on a dare. When the research piles up and speculation gets old, get real. Learn from a test that demands your best. Nothing informs like a foray into the real world. So hike up your socks, strap on the wings, […]
When you’re already doing the best you can, there are only so many pep talks you can stomach before you feel a severe case of eye-rolling coming on. “Alright already,” you say. “Rah. Rah. Yay me.” But your voice lacks conviction. Your voice says, “Enough is enough.” Yes, you may be excused. When weariness sets […]
They’ve been set aside, shoved beneath, and ignored long enough. Those treasured old dreams aren’t getting any closer unless you excavate them, dust them off, and have another look. What-might-have-been is scarier left buried. Dig. You know which dreams I’m talking about. They’ve been filed away under “If Only…” or “Could Have Been.” If you […]
Ouch! Dang it. What was that? Did you hear that? You left the dark, wretched cave you’d crouched in for years to quest for growth and adventure. You dreamed of golden light and expanding horizons. You really went for it. You gave it your all. And instead you find yourself in another dark, wretched cave. […]
