Smile Darn It Smile!
Smile. Have you ever noticed how easily puppies make human friends? Yet all they do is wag their tails and fall over. ~Walter Anderson, The Confidence Course, 1997 In 1931, a Merry Melodies cartoon had "Smile Darn Ya, Smile" as its title and the lyrics of the background song. You can watch this on YouTube if you'd like. It makes me think about smiling in general. Smiling is such an enjoyable activity. Can you think of anyone who's sad who can continue being sad and smile at the same time? I can't.

Changing Your Addictive Behavior
“Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.” ~ Jung Addictions can take many forms, and each of them is detrimental. We are all ready to admit that drugs and alcohol are addictive and if you stretch your thought a bit further, you might also see some other addictions that affect your life in one form or another, like having to be in control, reading books, watching sports, amassing money, listening to music, etc. I’m not saying that last group is all detrimental, but they can all create addictive behavior.

The Power of Laughter
Laughter is the best medicine. ~ Proverbs Laughter is puzzling. We don't know where it comes from, but we do know that we like it. Babies like to laugh, we like to laugh at them laughing, don't we? We certainly don't work to discover in a scholarly way what laughter is or the benefits of laughter. We just enjoy the power of laughter and accept it as part of our life experience. We like it and when we haven't experienced it for a while, we miss it. We feel so good after a good belly laugh that makes tears come out of our eyes.

Are You Living By Design or Default?
Life is the lump sum of our choices. ~ Albert Camus A successful person does not drift through his or her days. They focus their mentality on what they believe to be important, they take the time to make deliberate choices and they are disciplined in their emotions. They are living by design. A person who lives by default is less focused, accepts whatever comes his or her way, doesn't have a master plan, and allows their emotions to run rampant. Which are you? Deliberate or Default? Here's an illustrative quote from Alice in Wonderland.

Creating Your Dream Life with a Coach’s Help
I had a coach who told me I was much better tha I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure. ~ Mike Krzyzewski Have you ever experienced any event in your life where someone was behind you, supporting and encouraging you, and pointing out the pitfalls that would keep you from getting where you said you wanted to go? Have you always had to rely only on your own best judgment along with the mistakes you’ve made? Would you enjoy a different way to success? Does Using a Coach Mean I’m Not Capable?

You're Enough for You; Stop Leaning on Others
“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” ~ Steve Jobs I think the most idyllic situation would be to be 100% self-sufficient and expect nothing from any other, but life just isn’t like that, is it?r

Establishing A Sense of Love....And Staying Warmer!
I'd like to ask you to stroll down memory lane a moment with me. Think back to the early days when you first started dating someone special. Do you remember establishing a sense of love? Oh, how in love you were! You couldn't get enough of one another's company. You were resistant to the cold because of your warming love.

How to Be the Change You Want
Being the Change in your life is not a magical, instantaneous event. Like Life itself, it is a journey and not a destination. Be the Change is a process that can be accomplished while you life your life, go to your job, raise your children, love your pets and take vacation. It is like playing an exciting game in the background while you do the things you merely do. It’s a colorful extension you can play with the “I” of you silently while your kids swing on swings, while you mow the lawn, while you make love, while you drive to work, while you go to church, while you read a book.

The only shame is to have none. ~ Blaise Pascal Are you one of those fine folks out there who knows deep inside your heart-of-hearts that you really want to change a few things in your life, but you just cannot find whatever it takes (you're not sure what it is) to get going? Overcoming shame associated with not accomplishing what you want can be a first step to getting started.

How to get started
Maria is convinced that one’s purpose in life is best augmented through service to others, like her role model, Gandhi. Maria says: “I know that the techniques I teach will work for you because they have each been tried and found true by me in my life. I believe in walking my talk. I have set myself as an example of what can be accomplished. I am passionate about leading by example, and I have provided here my entire tool chest for you so that you will exceed my own successes, and then you will come back and help me add tools I didn’t think of myself to the tool chest for those who follow you at the Change Coaching Institute.”
