Often times the information we take in greatly affects our belief. We begin to form opinions based on what we take in which leads to an assumption. This assumption then affects decisions which amount to little more than a guess. The outcome of action taken based on an assumption is often not the best. The reason being we are basing our thoughts and actions on assumptions rather than facts.
"The girl never called me back because she would never be seen dead with me". "The doctor is not calling with my test results because they are bad". "The client is ...

We have all heard the adage, "You don't get a second chance to make a first impression". Yes, it's true that if we do not come off as sincere and interesting or interested, others may write us off. Often times the loss is mutual. The other never gets to know us and we them. Connecting to another is one of the great benefits and issues that matter in life. It struck me yesterday just how important it is for us to not be the one who so easily writes another off. Our own personal loss can be immeasurable. We were ...

Driving back from a presentation a song came on the radio that hearkened back to my youth. I caught myself singing along to the line, "And the sign says you got to have a membership card to get inside". I just took a moment to look it up. It was released by The Five Man Electrical Band in 1970. Even though it was over 40 years ago I can ...

"What is it that will help me to believe I can do this or accomplish that or become more than I am now?"
The reality is that it is our life's experience that shines the light on the path of the unknown. No goal is achieved and no accomplishment laid out in one giant step. The only way I believe I can "stand here" is by first "standing there". Growth is a process and no motivator so great as to witness progression in our own experience. Great lessons in life sometimes come from the most unlikely places. I was in ...

One of the challenges we all face is to determine what our motivation is in life? Everything we do in life is not as Freud said focused on and driven by sex. It all comes down to the 11 muscles in our face. The pursuit of happiness is in the simplest form determined by whether or not we smile. Think of the effort we expend everyday and over a lifetime in ...

"To live the life we are capable and deserving of or maintain the status quo"? Now there is a great question. My wife who is one of the nations top nutritionists has often said, "Food never tastes as good as health feels". So true. Those who taste health understand the value of the occasional trade off for the second basket of bread during dinner. If there was ever one great skill I would seek to possess it would be the ability to allow everyone and anyone to taste their own passion. If only for just a moment. If I were ...

"Oh, if only this would change" the person says. "Then I would be able to get this done or accomplish that". Some would think this weakness. I know it for what it is which is conditioning. We are conditioned throughout our entire lives to look for the pitfalls and to own the excuses rather than simply rolling up our sleeves and getting busy with the task of doing. A client forwarded on a link to an e-mail of where technology is going. If you would like to watch it here is the link. Continue Reading

I know this may appear eschew to what you are used to seeing or hearing but it's the truth. It's critically important to know that what gets broken for us all was perfect when we were born. That thing was our belief system. When we first arrived there was not a blemish or smudge on it anywhere. Over time. Over days and weeks and months and years the surface became pitted and scarred and clipped and torn. Every time the world said "you can't" the tank that fuels our belief dropped a bit more and a bit more. After decades ...

What we do during the course of our lives comes down to in the simplest terms to what we decided to do. Often times our decisions or choice become mired in the noise and opinions of the world around us. Early on we learn to choose what foods we like. What shows we watch. What people we have as friends. As the years go by these choices appear to take on a more sobering overtone. What education to get. What job to take. Who to marry, whether to have children or not and if you want fries with that. So ...
