What is Meaningful Success?

Achievement, victory, accomplishment, and attainment are all terms that we commonly associate with success. It is today’s hallmark that we link success with monetary gain. As many of us have discovered, financial wealth does not guarantee bliss nor bring a satisfying meaning to life. Fiscal wealth can create different opportunities for you and make the ‘creature comforts’ of life easier to obtain. However, money by itself is not the ultimate measure to meaningful success.

Recently, we were the speakers at a ‘caregivers’ night in a local desert community. After the conclusion of the official program, we opened the floor for those that had specific issues to address. The common question we heard was, “Why can’t I get my dad to get dressed on time in the morning? ...

Good Fortune & Gratitude

Most of us recognize the expression, ‘Count Your Blessings’. But do we really do this on a daily basis? During this holiday season, we were in the checkout line of a young man in a major grocery store. When I inquired what he had asked of Santa this year, he replied, “A new wife.” He went on to tell us that he had lost his wife to cancer a year ago and he was so lonely. My whole being was in distress for him. Going to the car I went through my mental checklist of all my personal good fortune.

Is This the Truth?

Do you find yourself wondering why people perceive you in a certain light? Why am I so slow? Or possibly why you perceive your co-worker or neighbor in a negative or positive light? Sometimes this happens as a result of someone telling you that co-worker is lazy or irresponsible. Does this illustrate a recent event or the entirety of all of their lives? Statements such as the above are ‘labels’ carrying heavy judgment with them. The judgment part can be good or very cruel. Let’s consider children responding to their parent’s public statements of, “You are brilliant”!

Experiencing Life Balance Fatigue

We have all heard the collective lament, ‘My career is not exciting anymore. I don’t feel energized to go into my shop or my office. I don’t even have enthusiasm for the student’s sports activities at the high school. I used to love being involved in those games and the play offs. What’s happened to me?” The workforce market has demonstrated to us nationally, that this phenomenon happens not only to middle management, but uniformly at the highest levels of corporate executives.

Is Going Worse Than Staying?

How often have we heard ourselves, our colleagues or family state that they want a specific goal but never make that desire a reality? Are these just ‘pipe dreams’ or outcomes that would truly add value to our lives? And, why do we seem to be frozen in one place, not really advancing either in ...

Dealing with Negativity in the Workplace

It’s a rare workplace environment that hasn’t experienced the corrosive effects of chronic negativity. Like a bad mood, negative behavior can spread among departments, even wide spread enough to infect company divisions or regions. It can be practiced by one individual or groups of individuals wanting to belong to something bigger than themselves. In the search for professinal kinship, groups will take issues and brew them until they are as scorched as bad coffee. Conseqeuntly, we coined a term for them, the Brew Crew.

Is Your Future Attainable?

Isn’t it exciting to walk further into your personal year with new challenges, new skills acquired from the previous year; and possibly, new friends. As is customary in any new year’s planning, many of us have made personal and professional resolutions for the future, ultimately functioning as internal promises. In fact, promises are the vehicles that can truly create the future. Sadly, many of these resolutions go unfulfilled all year long.
