Are You Feeling Pressured?
Posted by: | Comments
You’ve made your list and know what you want to accomplish but still can’t seem to push yourself in the direction you want to go. Does that feeling sound familiar? Are you feeling the pressures of society, family and possibly ones that are self inflicted? First and foremost understand that you are not alone. There are many that are experiencing the feelings you are experiencing.
The difference however, is that many will remain in the rut; the one where they are going and going and not getting to their destination. Making plans, goals and lists is just the beginning. Taking action is the most important next step. Push your fears aside and move forward. You may be saying to yourself, that is easier said than done, but it is possible. Perhaps you simply need help. Have you ever spoken to someone about your fears? Read More→
Do Not Allow What You Can’t Do Interfere With What You Can

Think about your typical workday. Chances are, once you finished your morning cup of coffee or tea, there are about 15 dozen things that need to be accomplished, and all of them are demanding your attention right away. So, like any normal person, you prioritize the items, making a list. So which do you do first? If you’re like most people, you do what you can first, and what you take enjoyment from. This is a great way to boost your confidence, and get a wonderful and productive start to the day. However, there are those things on the list that you can’t do, and for many that nagging reality becomes a real obstacle. Read More→
What You Know You Can Do Will Define Your Future
Posted by: | Comments
Success today is often measured by what a person has accomplished. Landing the big contract, acing the midterm exam, even getting married and raising a wonderful family are often seen as successes to be marked off on some checklist somewhere. Indeed, from a young age, school children are taught to make a list of things to do, and mark them off in short order when the task is completed.
However, thinking this way can be limiting, especially if you’re not sure where your dreams and aspiration lie on the checklist before you. Read More→

Mistakes on the Road to Success?
Posted by: | Comments
Perfection Could Mean Stagnation
As a general rule, we are taught from a young age to strive for perfection, and to accept nothing less in everything we do. While perfection in everything may be deemed a laudable goal, it can mean stagnation and getting caught up in too many details. You have heard about “analysis paralysis”…. As John Wooden taught his basketball players “If you are not making mistakes, then you are not doing anything. I am positive that a doer makes mistakes.” He calls them mistakes, I call them inflight adjustments. Read More→
Failing To Make a Change – A Dangerous Choice?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat Do You Do When Plans Don’t Go As Intended?
Undoubtedly each of us, in our life, has been faced with what we perceived as a “failure” of some sort. Yes, I am talking about that time when you intended something but it all seemed to go wrong, or plans seemed to go awry. Well we might say that it’s simply the nature of life. I look at it a bit differently. One thing I am certain about though, how we choose to handle such situations is a great measure of what we can continue to expect to experience.
How We Choose To Handle Perceived “Failures” Sets The Stage For The Future
John Wooden, one of the most successful basketball coaches that ever lived, told his players that “failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.” In that gem he gave a wealth of information about the ability to adapt to new situations, and strive for success in the most adverse of situations. The past need not define your present or future! Read More→
