In a seminar today I was talking about why so many people never connect with what it is they were put here to do. To live with passion. I told the story of how children are sold a bill of goods throughout their lives. Here is the story. Every year, students are pushed through the system with little or no regard for what it is that they would like ...

We always find the time to call the client. We find the time to fix the fence. We find the time to, well do anything and everything but for what we really want to do for ourselves. Being in the business of personal and professional development puts me at risk to appear counter to what I teach. Yes, we need to stay focused on business and focused on our ...

What can happen along the way towards our goal is that the wrong thing gets into our head. There are a thousand potential avenues from which negative information can be taken in, but the end result is the same. If the wrong information is taken in too often it begins to affect our belief system. The minute a belief falters and becomes a doubt our goal ...

All progress provides a benchmark. All success can be measured. All future growth will be judged by past experiences. One of the great examples of the measurement of success is our education system. We sat down with our son tonight and discussed his report card. There was plenty of room for praise. There was also room to discuss improvement. Here is what came of the discussion.

All that we do has a cause and affect. An action and anticipated outcome. That's what life is. Its what drives us to get up in the morning and to do what needs to be done before bed.

So here's the question. Are we controlling our lives or is some other force of nature pulling the strings?

We are all consistently challenged by what we are told and taught as to how this thing called life should unfold. We are to go to school at this age, rebel against the world here, graduate then, fall in love about here, have some kids soon, drive up and down the highway for a paycheck and never question what this is all about. One of those things ...

We've come a long way from the days of the carnival barker and in some ways not far at all. The dialogue may have changed over the years but make no mistake that we are all enticed to "buy this" in more ways than we have ever thought possible. One of the constants of the world of marketing and promotion is to put forward to ...

It's easy to become affected by the "stuff" that happens in life. One of the most difficult things to overcome is the old movie reels that continue to play over and over in our minds. We can watch the movie of the birth of our child or the movie of the tragedy. More often than not the sub-conscious mind offers up an extra helping of the tragedy. We are trained ...
