Life Success Strategies - United States Of Addiction

I’m mad...mad as hell, in fact! This is time for my monthly rant. I’ve seen and heard just a bit too much. Now you get hear about it. Do you know that our society is promoting a slew of addictive behaviors? Let me name a few for you: Over-eating, gambling, video games and internet games, over-spending, codependency, sex, worhaholisim...shall I go on? All of the above listed are not only promoted, but socially acceptable to the point where we don’t even acknowledge (until I come along) their severe consequences.

Personal Success Strategies - Bull-Fighting, Rabbit-Chasing And Wrestling With Pigs

So...did I get your attention? Yes? I thought I might! I did a small presentation for the Greater Seminole Area Chamber of Commerce on "How to Win Over Difficult Prospects" and the bull-fighting, rabbit-chasing and wrestling with pigs came as a result of that (I never know what is going to come out of my mouth when I get up to present!).

A Chiropractic Epiphany

I had my very first chiropractic visit last week and in the midst of it I had a few “a-ha” moments. It never ceases to amaze me how Life brings forth a lesson or two in the most surprising and unlikely settings. First of all, the reaso I had never gone to a chiropractor before was because I could not imagine going through all the twisting, turning, pulling, popping and cracking that I “knew” there would be….Hmmmmm, sounds a little like fear huh??

Random Acts of Kindness and Pay it Forward

You can actually push the envelope in your life a bit more by practicing good deeds for no seemingly special or specific reason. One very powerful action and attitude you can embrace is the practice of random acts of kindness while also creating the pay-it-forward system of living. Random acts of kindness are just that: They’re random, and they’re kind. When you give out of your pure desire to give and you expect nothing in return, AND you do this only to benefit others, then you’re practicing random acts of kindness.

Winning Success Strategies: The Same Actions Will Always Get You The Same Results!

The ego-driven smaller self tends to live in the predicting-the-past-and-forgetting-the-future mode. What this refers to is the tendency to believe the past will always repeat itself in the future and therefore, no real change can happen. The ego tries to compensate by making you feel as if you need to be driving yourself to try to be something more than who you really are. It’s as if who you actually are isn’t good enough, which prevents you from being your true self. I’ve heard people refer to this as trying to drive your car by steering your rear-view mirror.

Life Success Strategies - Your Personal Integrity Meter

Disce between accepting and settling. Accept what you cannot change, but never settle for anything below your standards. When you settle for less than your standards, you allow yourself to lose integrity and you lose a piece of yourself every time. Simple math tells you that the more you’re not in integrity, the more you lose. Being out of integrity is very similar to your spine being out of its healthy alignment, or the alignment of your car being out of its proper settings.

What Goes Down (Sometimes) Comes Up Again

This is about the law of gravity inverted...sorta. Nature always strives to create balance, which is otherwise known as homeostasis. Examples would include day and night; high tide and low tide; summer and winter; and, of course, up and down. Gravity, however, seems to create a skewed dimension because it pulls everything down. In day-to-day life terms, especially from an emotional perspective, the “down” energy can seem as powerful as gravity, and henceforth, very challenging. I was thinking about all this as I was hiking in an area yesterday known as the Tuolumne Grove.

Personal Success Tips - Don't Let Your Barometer Direct Your Compass

Huh??!! Let me explain...A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure. This pressure change helps weather forecasters to predict what weather conditions might be forthcoming. Barometric conditions are always changing; therefore barometric measurement is always fluctuating. A compass, on the other hand, is used to determine direction. Since our North Pole has a natural magnetic pull to it, the needle of a compass will always point in that direction.

Life Success Strategies - What Are Your Core Values?

What are my core values? What's most important? The most important thing about the most important thing is to keep the most important thing the most important thing. I hope by now you are beginning to realize the importance of knowing what you want in your life, and you're beginning to take the steps to figure it all out. But how do you decide when to do what and for how long? You can start by creating a values and priorities oriented life. It may sound simple, but for many people it's quite challenging. When was the last time you sat down and inventoried your values?

Anger and Hurting and Fears….oh dear!!

Have you ever thought about how ill-equipped we are to handle our emotions? I know, that is a terribly negative opening statement, but really think about it…how many people do you know that are really okay with all their emotions and the expression thereof? I suspect not many; at least that has been my experience. But then again, how often were you instructed with the skills and attitudes that would result in healthy emotional processing and expression? Not much, if any, is what I have heard from many hundreds of people.

Relationship Success Strategies: The Apples in the Apple Pie - Knowing What You Got to Have, Want to Have, and Absolutely Will N

What do you have to have in life? What are those absolute, non-negotiable essentials for you? When you settle for nothing less than those essentials, you’ll find all your inner needs met. The problem is our culture has become very used to settling for less. This outcome, as I see it, goes back to the fact that most people don’t know who they really are and, therefore, don’t know what they really want.

I have been involved in a number of groups over the years and I have found them to be extremely helpful in my life. Groups are one of the foundational pieces of having a balanced life.

Personal Success Tip - Creating Accountability Circles, Peer-Leaders and Your Personal Posse

Have you ever noticed that every successful person has a team with whom they surround themselves? For example, the head coach of any sports team has countless assistants and trainers. Every CEO has a board of directors. Of course, the President has his cabinet, as well as numerous other advisors and consultants. And what about you? Who is in your cabinet? Who are your assistant coaches? And who is on your board of directors? Do you have anybody? One big reason people have difficulty accomplishing their goals is they try to do all the work on their own.

Life Success Strategies - The Aftermath of Tragedy - Why???

Why? Many people are asking "Why" in the aftermath of tragedy. An appropriate question...but, unfortunately, there are no very good answers. There are, however, are few considerations for all of us to examine. We have become a violent culture and this violence has occurred very subtly. Via movies and TV shows, through the internet, computer and videogames, and of course through the media's "live" coverage of wars. I don't believe a day goes by in our culture without a major emphasis on violence. Does this explain why massacres and bombings happen?

Relationship Success Tips: Getting The Love by Finding The Safe Harbors From Life's Storms

When I was about 12, I watched one of the old Clint Eastwood westerns where he plays the role of the hardened cowboy: Very little emotional expression, very few words, a tough-as-nails attitude, an occasional fight, some woman to fall in love with him and then, at the end, he leaves town to ride off and disappear into the horizon of solitude. I thought this was what real men were like and, without truly realizing it, I subconsciously took on this image.

Going Out Of Your Mind To Find Your True Sanity

Bear with me for a moment on this one, it really does make sense. Einstein once said, “We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them." I have found this to be so very true. You can’t do something over and over in the same way and get a different result, correct? This means you must somehow expand your thinking to create a new approach and a different solution.

Boundaries And Balance In Life: Are You Forgetting the Future And Predicting The Past?

Question: Do you suffer from already always living? The primary symptom is projecting the past onto the future. It’s assuming what has already happened to you before, will always happen again. So as a result, you stay stuck in repetitive patterns, and you live your life like a broken record, and backwards. You have simply forgotten the future and are predicting the past. Am I describing you? According to legend, Merlin the Magician lived from the future in the present, and that was his magic. He knew what was going to happen because he had already been there.

Relationship Success Strategies - Zen Listening

Zen: Finding enlightenment through intuition and introspection. Listening: Making an effort to attentively hear another person speaking. Therefore Zen Listening might be best described as the art of using one’s intuition and introspection to be fully present with another person during a conversation for the purpose of thoroughly hearing and understanding the other person’s communication. And why is this so important? Because when we thoroughly listen we create a very powerful communication dynamic that in turn deepens any and all of our relationships...perhaps if everyone practiced

Abundance….this word has become quite popular these days as one of the latest “metaphysical buzzwords”. ‘Creating abundance”, “Manifesting abundance”, and “living the abundant life” are just a few of the abundance of abundant clichés these days.

The Roots And Fruits Philosophy Of Life

One of the biggest barriers to living fully in your spirituality and in your life is an ever-so-deeply-conditioned, limiting, and self-defeating belief system. This is the core and the root of self-destructive behavior, sub-satisfactory results and negative thinking. Over the years of working with thousands of individuals, I’ve noticed there are a few primary beliefs, more prominent than others, which create the most havoc and often set people up to settle for less than they deserve or are capable of.

What do you fear, and how real are your fears? The most common fears I see and hear from clients (and others!!) include the fear of rejection, the fear of failure, the fear of change and - believe it or not - the fear of success. As real as these fears may seem, most of them are only imaginary (not real) and totally made-up (fantasy). I like to refer to these made-up scenarios as stories. Part of our humanness includes an amazing ability to make up stories and assumptions, and then to believe them and fabricate some F.E.A.R.: Fictitious Events Appearing Real.

Statistics also show nearly one third of American women report being exposed to some type of abuse at the hands of the significant other in their committed relationships. In reality, one out of every three is a grossly conservative figure, since the vast majority of abuse is never reported. These harsh statistics tell us that men (and women) are abusing the very people they say they love, which makes no rational or relational sense at all. As if divorce and abuse were not enough, individuals are descending farther and farther into addictive behaviors.

The Wu Wei principle is to yield to an oncoming force in such a way as to render it harmless and at the same time, change its direction by pushing it from behind instead of resisting it from the front.

Flight responses are passive and range from giving into an unreasonable request from your mother, accepting a role established by your mate, lying and making up an excuse when your friend wants to borrow your car, to complete withdrawal, hiding from any contact with potential adversarie
