Are We Born with Useful Skills?

Back Away From Angry People
Anger is a waste of time. I say that again and again, have written about it and stand behind it. However, anger does some good in your life. It lets you know that you are alive. Not depressed, not laying around in bed all day, but alive. It is a beginning. A reminder...
Distractions Can Destroy Your Work Day
Distractions can destroy your day, especially if you work in an office with numerous people and very little privacy. The short wall between your desk and the person in front of you is insufficient to the task as far as getting serious work completed. If you are on a...
Tap Into the Power Behind Your Thoughts
We all want to achieve success in our lives and in our work but are often uncertain of the best first step. We also want certainty, which does not exist. When you encounter a new decision point in your daily routine, you can instantly evaluate it. Your instincts...
Do You Know if You Have an Intuitive Mind?
Who are you? And no, it’s not a dumb question. People, myself included, ask who you are. Can you be yourself? Well how can you be yourself if you don’t know who your are? I know who I am today. I am a channel for good. I share all of who I am with my prospects and...
Work Life Balance is a Necessary Ingredient for a Healthy Life
I am glad I work from home because I can sit outside in a chair on the patio and create an emotional and physical shift to my day. Such a relief to smell the ocean - there is a nearby Bay called Possession Sound, a portion of Puget Sound - and the salt smells travel...
Be in the Now Not the Later
According to Buddha, everything exists in a state of transition. Nothing stays still, either negative or positive. We all do our best to hold on to the good and to reject the bad. Both the good and both will arise again and dissolve, yet again. The challenge is that...

Why Don’t People Keep Their Word Anymore?
If someone I know repeatedly lets me down – they have three chances unless they are family! – I cannot trust them anymore. It’s that simple at least for me. I do not want to be walked over by anyone, certainly not someone whose word is no longer good. And I don’t want...
Create the Life You Truly Want
Have you been hemming and hawing about your many pursuits in your daily life, both work and with your family and friends? It may be time for you to take an inventory of your life. Why an inventory? Because you may be stuck, rigid in place or too fluid as to where you...
Did You Know That Teams Can Make Your Business Successful?

Low job satisfaction brings on other issues although these other issues stand by themselves as well. I’m talking about stress, anxiety, decreased productivity and high turnover. No matter the size of the company your work for, if you do not like your job, you need to...
Use the Right Word Not Its Cousin
Do you want to ask for something or do you just want to ask for something? “Just” is a word that diminishes whatever follows. To use the word ‘just’ in a sentence makes you look weak, that you do not mean what you are saying, that you are unsure of yourself and what...
