As a recovering Type-A, it is unfortunately easy for me to give 110% to a project I believe in. Which is fine when it is short term, but lately I have become involved in a project which has given me the opportunity to work ten hour days, seven days a week and I don’t see […]
In the past, I was jealous of individuals who seemed to have it all. They lived their passion. They were free to travel when they wished. Everything they did was something they wanted to do. I would rack my brain as to why these individuals were so lucky. What did they have that I didn’t? […]
My life has changed immensely over the last few weeks. Goals I had given up upon have been coming to fruition seemingly out of thin air. It is a truly amazing time. What is so hard to grasp about it all is that I have not done anything different. The wonderful new opportunities I have […]
Connection starts with a renewed connection to oneself. For too long we have been a reactionary species. We react out of self-protection or as a response to family or society. Especially in the Western world we have lived most of our lives on conveyor belts following the customs of our families, the sequence of schooling, and the expectations of a job, house, and family. Nowhere in the process are we encouraged to uncover and follow our own truth. It is time to reconnect to ourselves so we can uncover and follow our own unique desires, intuitions, and needs.
My new mantra is to focus on my experience. In every moment am I experiencing what I desire? If I am focused on a specific outcome or item to acquire, I ask myself what I hope to experience from it.

Instead of using the standard textbook business procedure for branding, I really dug deep to uncover brand me. This time would be different. This time I would take the risk to expose my true self without fear of rejection. For I had learned for everyone who rejects me, there are many others who find my personal viewpoint and attitude refreshing.
I recently heard a CEO speak about how he took an investor’s one million dollars, bought some real estate, and repaid the investor completely plus a thirty percent return on investment within five to seven years. This was no small feat in the current challenging economy. It is incredible to see small businesses taking chances […]
When we can step out of our point of view, our emotions, and our expectations to see a situation from another’s point of view it is powerful. We now have a clearer idea of intent. We have an idea about what the other person is looking for or fearing might happen. We have the objective understanding of another’s pain and issues. And we now have the ability to work through the true issue, not the story we are making up about the issue. We become empowered by seeing and addressing the true issue and not our imagined scenario. The next time there is an issue at home or work try using compassionate objectivity and notice the difference in your experience and the results.
