ARTArticleHow We Label People Hurts Them and UsI have long been of the view that “normal” behaviour is bizarre. After all, the Universities of Chicago and Milan calculate that so-called “normal” people use just 1% of their mental capacity to do what they’re doing in the here and now. The rest of their mental energy is wasted on looking forward, worrying but, most destructively of all, looking backwards – because that is where the subconscious mind lives. And this subconscious, focused in our formative years, automatically creates our daily reactions – and our daily behaviours. Just by way of example, I recently mentione ARTArticleHow Your Boss Ratings Impact Your People’s ProductivityRemember the movie The Devil Wears Prada? In case you don’t, it’s the one where Meryl Streep plays the single minded magazine editor. She lives for her power within the fashion industry. She can make or break an upcoming designer’s career as well as the ones of her subordinates. Self serving and arrogant, she epitomizes the “bad boss”. She demeans her staff with a withering look and expects them to do whatever it takes to please her quixotic requests. Get a yet unpublished copy of J.K. Rowling’s latest Harry Potter tale by 3 p.m. today?ARTArticleHuman AdulthoodWhat is an adult? While we may argue about what a "Man" or "Woman" is, there is remarkable agreement around the world on the subject of Human Adulthood. An adult takes responsibility for his or her actions and emotions.ARTArticleHuman Adulthood part 2We're building a seventeen-part structure for self-coaching and self-exploration, with an end toward becoming responsible, awakened adult human beings. The first ten steps of this structure originate in Joseph Campbell's famed "Hero's Journey" The second part of the Hero's Journey is called the "rejection of the challenge." What this means is that you are aware of a change that needs to take place, are aware that it would move you to the next level of your life, or alleviate serious conce s, but cannot motivate yourself to do it.ARTArticleI Don't Trust UrgencyWhen I was in my thirties and suffering from a low grade anxiety disorder, I let the feeling of urgency steal my life. Because I was always anxious, I did not know what it felt like NOT to be anxious. I thought how I felt was normal, even though I also felt enormous shame for being so afraid all the time. One day I just got sick of being afraid. I decided I would practice being a little braver every day and I would never trust urgency again. This day my life changed forever. I am legally blind. Some people with vision just like mine do not leave their homes to get the mail.ARTArticleI Have Run The Good RaceI sent an article out recently, and I had one of the beautiful people on my subscriber list write me back. She happens to be a practicing psychic, and so she gave me a message, apparently because she was touched with the depth, the profoundness of the article. The basic message was that she had gone into trance, and she felt someone resting their hand on her shoulder. And she told me what the feelings or sentiments were, including the fact that she felt I was speaking with the voice of someone who has done their work—who is able and ready to go.ARTArticleI Keep Getting this FeelingI am often told to be tenacious, courageous, persistent, pushing, and dedicated to a direction. This post is about being aware of the signs when a change is needed and yet be dedicated to the right direction. Here is my main thought around this subject. Do not fight your journey when life moves you on, if your heart is on a target, even the unfamiliar will lead you to your goal. Saying a Day Keeps the Blues Away Be Patient or Move On? This reminds me of a caterpillar that knows when it is time to spin a cocoon and transform as opposed to continue moving forward as a caterpillar.ARTArticleI Love LucyI love Lucy I've always liked snakes. I recall one day long ago when I was in primary school we had a show and tell day. The school allowed us to bring our pets to school and share an interesting story about them. I brought my pet Black Indigo Snake. The kids in my class loved it. The teachers were more in fear than in favor.ARTArticleI Never Said, "Don't Risk"A listener to my audio articles recently shared with me a point that she noted. And indeed, it's true-in a recent group of articles, I was clustered around grief. I was involved with my father-in-law's passing, and so I took advantage of that circumstance that life presented to reflect on those kinds of themes. And she said, "You know, it's interesting. I listened to your articles related around that theme, and you kept saying, 'Live, seize the day, grasp the moment.ARTArticleI'm going to make this place your home" I'm going to make this place your home" I was just listening to the radio and heard a song by Philip Philips entitled "Home." It reminded me of how important it is to return home whenever we feel overwhelmed with the day-to-day happenings of life. I know it is true in my case that I've been too busy lately worrying about my budget, paying bills, getting the car repaired, trying to find a place to live, working out at the gym, managing my health, and investing in my relationship. Phil's song "Home" reminded me that it is time to come home.ARTArticleI'm on the outside looking inI'M ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN. WHO WE ARE ON THE INSIDE, GOVERNS WHO WE ARE ON THE OUTSIDE. Spiritual Growthr Change is hard—especially internal change. Here is some insight on how to grow spiritually. Have you noticed that it’s just plain hard to make changes in your life? Losing weight, quitting smoking, beginning an exercise program . . . most of us go in starts and fits when trying to gain traction with such things. And that’s just with making exte al changes. But have you ever tried to become something more—something deeper—on the inside?ARTArticleI've Not Given Anything UpI could've been out at the lake when I was writing this article; it was a beautiful day. As I dictated this, I'd just seen a group of about 12 Harley riders go by. Not on my street-where I live is a little more insulated than that-but I can see a few streets over on a major thoroughfare. It was about 4:30 on a Saturday afte oon, so life was cool. Life was tranquil. I'd been there working on articles-writing articles for society, right? I had enjoyed the past few hours. The sun was shining and it was kind of warm, but that feels good at this time of year.ARTArticleIf Glenn Had Listened To The People Back Home…Today, folks, I want to share some more of the inspiring words of my friend, marketing legend Glenn W. Turner!!... "The first thing to remember is that you have to go to seminars. What changed my life was not listening to my neighbors and my friends, my father, my mother, and the people in my small town. If I'd listened to them, I'd have been pumping gas at a gas station, driving a taxi cab, or just working some average job. "And there's nothing wrong being average, if you're happy. But very few people are. "What you have to do is go to seminars.ARTArticleIf I...This article is a chance to reflect on your answers. There are millions of people that walk our busy streets; many are right next to you. Do you take the time to notice them? If I was crying, what would you do? Would you carry on about your business or would you care to find out why? If I was lost and all alone would you help me or walk by like you never saw me? If I was broke and living on the streets, would you feed me or leave me all alone? If I was using drugs would you pretend you didn’t see me, help me, or just walk away?r ARTArticleIf Only I'd Been TallerThinking that there's some magic formula out there, that if only you would find it out, then all of your success, money, love, and on and on, will finally arrive into your life. Then, like a flood gate bursting, this magic portal will be opened, and soul mates, friends, popularity, and fame and fortune will be yours. Hey, that's great! Show me that door. It's the old "If only I'd been taller" game we play with our minds. If only I'd been taller, then I would have gotten that good job!ARTArticleIF YOU CAN’T KEEP AN OPEN MIND, ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE ONE?IF YOU CAN’T KEEP AN OPEN MIND, ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE ONE? BY Bill Cottringer “Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.” ~Benjamin Franklin. Here are the few important realities in life that have held to be true long enough to be the exception to this rule: • The one thing that seems to be certain is change. • Life is basically a process of learning, growing and improving. • The one sure common denominator for success and happiness is adapting to change.ARTArticleImportance of Cardio WorkoutsGetting plenty of cardio in your workouts is important to keeping your body healthy for both men and women. Men often spend most of their workout pumping weights building up the strength of their muscles. However, what about the most important muscle in the body - the heart muscle? Cardio helps keep our heart strong by pumping blood through our body more efficiently. This also helps us our bodies get more oxygen and nutrients that leads to better health.ARTArticleIn Problems Lie Hidden OpportunityWe’ve had some turbulent economic times lately, for sure. As I write, unemployment is at its highest level in twenty-six years. To give you some idea of how sales have softened: one of my dear friends was recently told by her employer that they were easing her out the door in three hours, after 18 years in the photocopy business. They had been bought out, and new, cost conscious management didn't think they needed her anymore.ARTArticleIn Your MemoryIn your memory I choose to see what you have tried so hard for me to see. It is in your memory that I choose to take love, honor and respect to a whole new level. I am trying the best that I can and I walk strong, in your memory. For all the times I just wanted to cry, you made me laugh. When my heart was broken, my memory of you is filled with love and understanding. You taught me that age is just a number and you are never too old to act silly and laugh at yourself.ARTArticleInformation Security – Need of the Hour for Every Organization93 percent of large enterprises had a security breach in 2012 while 87 percent of small businesses faced a security breach in the same year which is up by 11% over the last year, says a UK-based PwC survey. This article discusses the ways in which you can protect your database from hackers. Businesses these days can’t do without Internet. From business promotion to employing cloud services for online transactions, Internet is an essential element of information, data handling and operational infrastructure.ARTArticleInner PeaceWhat does inner peace mean? It means, when the world outside of you is going crazy, or is just too loud, and it doesn't affect you. It means staying balanced, both physically and mentally when the ground beneath you is shaking. It also means that you have seen and felt it all, and nothing that happens can sway you in either direction.ARTArticleInnovation: Two Brains are Better tha OneInnovation and creativity optimization requires mental agility. When we can flexibly move between and integrate our two hemispheres, we can tap our 'two brains'. They work best together, collaboratively. We have a right and left-brain for good reason… good reasoning.ARTArticleInsider Tips for Running a Successful Startup CompanyDuring these economic times, when the unemployment rates are too high people opt for starting and running a small business, for various different reasons. Running a small business can be a profitable and successful endeavor. But you need appropriate skills and ideas to make it one, without which it can create a lot of hassle and can turn to be quite stressful. Doing business is about increasing sales and profitability and if you do not meet these goals, the business is not worth the effort.ARTArticleInspirational LeadershipIt only takes one person to believe. That statement is littered across so many texts, over so many centuries - from spiritual literature, to the chronicles of the great explorers and inventors, to the field of professional sport.ARTArticleIntention: “The Sub 4Minute Attempt Is On”It's fairly well known in motivational circles and sporting circles… The story of Roger Bannister, the first person to break the four minute mile - or as they say it in the track and field arena, to run the sub-four minute mile. What a lot of people don't know is what went on to make that happen. Let me just give you some insight—this guy did break a record that they had been trying to break for thousands of years. You know the Olympics, they come from ancient Greece…speaking of which, he missed the 1948 Olympics. But you see, he was a runner, and he did have talent, apparently.ARTArticleInternational Etiquette: The Key to Effective Global NetworkingAs businesses become increasingly more global and bringing people of all races, cultures and backgrounds closer, learning the skills of proper etiquette on an international level is one of the most important elements for business success and growth. The ability to appreciate and respect cultural differences can be very helpful in understanding why people act in certain ways and gives you a better understanding on how you should act while conducting business or attending social events with them. Each country comes with a set of rules and traditions.ARTArticleIntervene At The Lowest Level of RiskYou cannot live in this world without encountering conflict…so you would think that they would teach conflict resolution in schools. Of course, they don't. Not that there's no conflict there, but they certainly don't teach effective conflict resolution. Let me give you one little idea which will serve you well in many, many ways, many, many different times. In conflict, or potential conflict, or touchy situations, always intervene at the lowest level you can.. In other words, I'm not saying you can't get mad.ARTArticleIntuition- 7 Ways to Know Your Intuition from Your Out-tuition7 Ways to Know When Your Intuition is Speakingr Intuition vs. Out-tuitionr I am often asked, what “intuition”… is the other day, someone else asked, me “do I even have intuition??? Everything on the planet is energy, all vibrating at different frequencies, science tells us this… and we know this right?r ARTArticleIrritated? Annoyed? Stressed? Don't Scratch That Itch! MeditateI constantly tell my clients that meditation is like your life in miniature - in other words, everything you encounter during meditation mirrors your daily life. So, for example, during meditation, your conscious mind will distract you - with an average of 50,000 random thoughts whizzing through it, it's bound to!ARTArticleIs consistency is the missing element of your successHave you ever wondered what is the missing piece to having what you want in your life? I know for me, I used to make the same new years resolutions over and over again each year. I would believe it was possible to create the change I wanted in my life and I would take action. The A and The B of success. But I lacked the third critical element. When I finally gave in to the fact (Yes you must surrender) that the only way I would ever have what I wanted was to be Consistent. Everything began to change for me.
