What To Do When You Get Stuck

It has happened to the best of us. We’ll be working on a project and suddenly we hit a brick wall. We’re stuck and nothing seems to come to mind as to how to get out of the imbroglio. The mind goes blank as in a semi-comatose state. The two most frequent causes of this [...]

We must be, before we can do, before we can have

It would be safe to say that most people who are interested in self-improvement are also interested in having more money and other material possessions.

Being productive

While I was active on the Anthony Robbins Web Community Forums I was always amazed at seeing comments from some of the members complaining that Robbins was not spending time on his own site.

The benefits of writing

Writing is contagious. The more we write, the more we feel like writing. The question then becomes, “Why is that?” First and foremost, writing is a wonderful way of expressing ourselves. There is no “pacing” as we see in conversation. That is, we can stop in mid-sentence and evaluate where we are going with our [...]

It can be found in the most diverse characteristic qualities but it is not attached to anyone of those qualities. According [...]

Barack Obama said, “Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself.

Cerebral versus emotional

Some topics are very prone to become inflammatory. Most people have strong opinions on subjects like religion, politics, race and sexuality.

Winners and Losers

The operative word in differentiating between winners and losers is the noun accountability. The winners will take responsibility or accountability for whatever happens in their life. The losers will not. They will take the victim stance. Feeling responsible for what happens in our life allows us to take and active role on influencing the outcome [...]

Stress and PTC

It would not be an overstatement to say that stress is today’s public enemy number one.

Heroes…

Almost everyone had their childhood heroes. I know that I did. They would inspire me. I wanted to be just like them when I grew up. I would try to dress the way that they did and act out their part. My heroes had exceptional courage, nobility and strength. They would fight evil and they [...]
