I recently came across some research that confirmed what many of us in the profession of educating sales people have known for years: That purchasers would be “much more likely” to buy from a sales person if that sales person would just “listen” to the customer. (1) The survey found that some of the worst offenders were experienced sales people. Listening is one of the four fundamental competencies of a professional sales person, and yet, the profession is, in general, so poor at it that most customers remark on our inability to do it well.
Millions of people suffer from Arthritis. Their muscles, ligaments and cartilage become inflamed and have severe pain in the affected joints. Movement of the joint then becomes extremely painful.

“Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed it.” ~ Mark Twain We are all likely to be wronged by others more than a few times in the course of our lifetime. Living in this imperfect world we will surely find ourselves faced with the dilemma of forgiveness, over and over. When someone that matters to us is hurtful, we will naturally feel painful emotions such as anger and sadness. We may find ourselves dwelling on the injustice of the sit
Millions upon millions are going through life crawling upon their hands and knees, defeated and dejected. Many people wail in poverty and wonder if there could be some magic formula that can be employed to extricate them from the entanglement of lack. As they search for the truth sometimes they get exposed to the teaching which says that lack is a tag of spiritual supremacy consistent with the teachings of the bible. Nothing can be further from the truth!
Two years ago, after a month of traveling, I boarded a red-eye flight from Califo ia to return home to Massachusetts. Although I had a connecting flight, I imagined being able to sleep most of the way. My first flight to Dallas was uneventful, just like you hope for. The connecting flight from Dallas however, was not.
Obtaining and measuring happiness is something that the UK government has been actively researching for a while now. It's rather curious that at this stage of our advancement, the notion of understanding and incorporating something so fundamental as happiness sounds as challenging as sending probes to Jupiter to try and fathom its nature. It just shows us how clueless we are emotionally and spiritually regardless of our technological advancement. For many people the 'big' questions are not 'what constitutes a happy life?
Governments in the United States and Great Britain plan to use antiviral drugs as a first line of defense against the Swine Flu (along with experimental vaccines as they become available), especially in at risk groups such as young children. A new study by Oxford researchers published in the British Medical journal questions the wisdom of this advice and points out that the risks are likely to outweigh the very slight benefits. (See full study and related commentary).
We’ve all heard the saying, “It’s the thought that counts,” and this is especially true when giving a gift in a relationship. Simple gifts given to a loved one, don’t have to be for any reason other than to let them know that you care and are thinking of them and these gifts don’t have to be expensive. With a little creativeness you can give your loved one a gift that shows how much you love them and value your relationship for under $10.

The GI diet, based on the Glycemic Index, has recently become very popular, but the GI ranking system has been around since 1981. There have been several books published on the success of the GI diet, but is it really a diet or a lifestyle change? The glycemic index Dr. David Jenkins, from the University of Toronto in
When we think of the word “fermentation” the first thing that usually pops into mind are images of beer and wine. However, fermented nutrients are also important for good health. Fermentation has been an important part of food preparation for centuries and numerous medical and scientific studies are confirming what folklore has always known. Fermented foods can help us stay healthy. Fermented foods are traditionally consumed by many societies throughout the world. A standard condiment in Japan is pickled ginger while kimchi, miso, tempeh and natto are consumed in East Asia.
Many people often wonder what alcohol abuse is and what the signs of alcohol abuse are? While most people will find that they do drink a single drink every night, they will assume that this doesn't constitute abuse in any form. The truth of the matter is that there are different levels when it comes to abusing alcohol and you need to keep that in mind when you are determining if you should be concerned about it. When it comes to categorizing drinking, there are four so-called

Hip Arthritis Arthritis means "inflammation of the joint". The most common kind of hip arthritis is osteoarthritis. This is often referred to as "wear-and-tear" arthritis of the hip or degenerative joint disease. Basically, osteoarthritis is characterized by a progressive wearing away of the joint cartilage. This results in inflammation within the joint itself. The cartilage is a protective structure of the hip and when it wears away, the bare bone is exposed within the joint
We are starting to receive requests from lenders who ask for a seller contribution before a short sale can be approved. This trend is different from the days where a lender would be able to just review the seller’s financial documents to verify that they do not have funds available to contribute. Is it ever a good idea for the seller to make a contribution? In one of our short sales, Litton Loans, the junior lienholder proposed that the seller contribute to a promissory note of 5% of the principal balance, which amounted to $7,000.
"YOU CAN ACTUALLY LEARN TO 'SPEAK FROM THE HEART' BY IMAGINING A SMALL MOUTH INSTALLED IN YOUR VERY OWN HEART. WHEN A CHALLENGING SITUATION ARISES, CONSCIOUSLY FOCUS YOUR MIND DOWN TO THAT LITTLE MOUTH. THEN, PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE GREAT SPIRIT, RELEASE YOUR PERSONAL FEARS AND COURAGEOUSLY SPEAK WHATEVER WORDS COME OUT … FOR THEY ARE THE WORDS WHICH, FROM A HIGHER PERSPECTIVE, NEED TO BE SPOKEN AND HEARD IN THAT SPECIFIC INSTANCE." — Chelle Thompson ©2007 Inspiration Line

Contrast and conflict is an inevitable part of a personal relationship, but it need not be malicious or agonizing.

It has been observed that suggestions, planted in the subconscious, become memories, and eventually tend to exte alize in the body. From this, it has been deduced that the sub-conscious mind is the builder of the body and is the creative factor in man. It has also been proven that certain types of thought produce certain kinds of results. This shows that the subjective mind takes our suggestions and tends to act upon them, no matter what the suggestion may be. While the Insti

One year, I decided to try food photography. I loved food, I loved local restaurants, and I loved photography. It seemed like a perfect fit for me. One problem... two actually. The first was that I had no experience in product photography; my style was more akin to photojou alism, which is stylistically different than product photography. The second problem was that I had absolutely no culinary background. Being who I am, I didn't let any of that hold me back.

Some are my own thoughts that I've jotted down in my little red book by my bedside (sometimes in the early hours). Perhaps I'll include in a new manuscript, so will share with you.

February 2005 - Volume I - Issue XIV nnnADHD: Hoarding and Packrat TendenciesnnHoarding and tendency to be a packrat are problem areas for many persons with ADHD. I include myself in this group.

Who doesnât love a good treat every once in a while, and letâs be honest itâs fun and easy to overindulge in high-calorie goodness. Wait . . . are we still talking about dogs here?

Forgiveness is a concept rooted within faith. In the Bible forgiveness is the most crucial concept, the basis for relational healing within community and with God. Lives are transformed as hope takes the place of guilt, anger, loneliness, and fear, as relationships are restored, and the love of God transforms a life. Forgiving someone means that we find the strength to go beyond ourselves to a place that helps us see those who have hurt us in a new way. Brad Hirschfield give
I find it hard to believe there is actually a word in the English language that could possibly describe what caregivers go through. There can't be! The experiences during the process of caregiving are often a deep, emotional shift accompanied by confusion, frustration, and even resentment for many. Somewhere along the line, one loses oneself, and their individuality blurs with the needs of the loved one.
America's independence did not come on a silver platter. In a similar way our personal successes would not materialize if we are not willing to pay the prize for their attainment.

When you free-associate with the concept of creativity, what arises? Perhaps what you connect to involves turning ideas into reality and plumbing the depths of imagination.

Expat Coaching Why are you here? rnThis is the single most important questions anybody can ever ask themselves. Usually this refers to your purpose in life.

How can oatmeal be included in my healthy eating plans? It contains sugar so there is no way it should be a part of my healthy diet plans or healthy eating guidelines.
