ARTArticleAffirmations Part IOne thing I realized about affirmations is how important the way you state them is. For instance, I used to state one of my affirmations with the words "I am rich." That's great, because I knew that somewhere I was rich, and that all I had to do was find the way to manifest this already existing wealth. The catch was, at that period of my life when I said "I am rich" and then looked around me, not only did I not believe that, but I was also saying that "I am rich, and my life as it was currently represented being rich!" Incredible!ARTArticleAffirmations: The Most Important One“Art is essentially the affirmation, the blessing, and the deification of existence” - Friedrich Nietzsche While traveling the road of life's journey of growth and fulfillment many people recite affirmations such as "I am rich without a hitch" or "I am strong, I am safe and all is well."

The prevailing and repetitive message we ...In today's abundance of beauty lotions and potions, nips and tucks, that serve to resist and camouflage the signs of aging we rob ourselves of the most powerful beauty enhancement resource available to mankind. I'm speaking of the aging process itself.ARTArticleAllowing Yourself To HealWhen we go through physical or mental pain, you have to allow yourself the time needed to heal. We don’t always allow ourselves the needed time to do so. Our body has its own mechanism that shuts off when we are in need of rest. We feel pain or we might get tired, that is our body saying “enough” time to rest and heal.ARTArticleAn entrepreneur is the hero of his own company and you have to act like oneHedging your Bets for successful entrepreneurship Testing the Watersr Although gainfully employed, Suhail Ahmad wanted to ratchet up excitement in his life, so he decided to ride two boats in his 20s: Full-time employment but starting his entrepreneurship journey on the side.

This safe road has generally worked out to my benefit, ...ARTArticleAn Inside JobAccept that life is imperfect—and that's perfect—and deal with what emerges. You know, so many people get backed up and stopped up, and then fall into the blame mode because something didn't happen the way they wanted. Someone didn't offer them what they wanted, be it that opportunity, that job, or maybe someone stood in their way. Things aren't going the way they like, and maybe someone else is so lucky. The fact of the matter is, life is perfect. That is life. The definition of life is that it's always going to change.ARTArticleAn Invitation To Be Part Of Holidays That HealGreetings!

Squirming and crawling about from place to place can do no good.” ~Abraham Lincoln.ARTArticleAnxiety and Depression - Healing From Shame & Cultural StigmasAccording to the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) one in four women will experience severe depression at some point in life. 1 in 4! That’s a very high statistic. The world population stands at around 7,021,836,029 and 49.75% of that number are females. That means a little less than 50% of the World’s population is females. In the U.S. about 15 million people experience depression each year. The majority of them are women. Unfortunately, nearly two-thirds do not get the help they need. So 1 out of 4 women will experience depression at some point in their lives.ARTArticleAnxiety: Coping With One of the Goliath’s of our Time“Didn’t you know that anxiety is the new normal?!” That is what a client said to me flippantly the other day. She was trying to be comedic yet we both knew this was coming from pure frustration and a feeling of overwhelm. Life today seems fraught with people who suffer from one form or another of this tormented state. I have heard clients call their anxiety a primal fear that has the power to paralyze them in a one- two punch no matter what their good intentions may be. Without management, anxiety makes life lose a sense of joy, purpose and any type of stable normalcy.ARTArticleAny Day You WishJim Rohn is one of the true greats in the motivational field. Let’s take one little quote of his right now, “What we ponder and what we think about sets the course of our life. Any day we wish, we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish we can open a book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish we can start a new activity. Any day we wish we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year…” Or we can go to our grave never having done it.” What he says is true, any day we wish!ARTArticleAre You a Leader - Or Are You a Loser?I was recently asked the difference between a "Leader" and a "Manager or CEO". A very important question at a time when those with real leadership qualities will outshine the "normal" people who've risen to a position for which, in reality, they are ill-equipped. Which leads me to the title of this article. I prefer to be a little more upfront and call a spade a spade. Because, if you're not a "leader", regardless of what position you hold in your work or in life, you're missing out on the unlimited possibilities that life has on offer for you.ARTArticleAre you a Parent or a Commander?It's absolutely a parent's responsibility to guide their child into a responsible and contributing adult. It is necessary for you to have some disciplines, and not to give your child everything they want, even if you can afford it. You should ask your child to do small jobs for you even from a young age, to participate and contribute. If you don't, you will foster a person who expects a slave also in adulthood, and you set them for disappointment. I recently heard a Mother say that she never says no to her child, she always reframes it.ARTArticleAre You a Prisoner to Your Business?Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. – Franklin D. Roosevelt To begin, let me ask you some revealing questions. As a business owner, can you walk away from your business today for one or two months and come back to find it operating smoothly and profitably? ...ARTArticleAre You An Authentic Leader?When I say I'm an Authentic Leadership Coach I'm often asked: What is an Authentic Leader? The answer I feel, is universal - we're all Leaders within. This is the place of Sovereignty for us - where we always have the opportunity to be conscious and aware of who we are, what really matters to us and the life we will create. Authentic Leadership then, is knowing your True Self and having your actions and behaviors follow in line with that unique truth. So, know yourself (very old wisdom, indeed) and act accordingly. While so easy to say, this can be very challenging to live.ARTArticleAre you confused or are you on the right path? Do you know right from wrong?See the Lightr Rights and Wrongs We grow up as vulnerable kids in this world, not knowing any better, thinking our families, our society will teach us everything we need to know about what is right and what is wrong. Not Knowing Right from Wrong! We think they will teach us everything we need to know about life. They are the ones who we first rely on for guidance, but as we get older, and we start going through so many mistakes, we start to realize that our society, our families, are clearly CONFUSED about what is right and what is wrong! Seeing the LightARTArticleAre You Going Through a Change?Everyone has gone through Life Transitions: a move, a new job, a new baby, a new partner, divorce, etc. The question is...How do you deal with it?

When individuals hear the term dysfunctional they may ...ARTArticleAre you ready for a quantum leap?QUANTUM LEAPS This term comes from the vocabulary of quantum physics and is described as the most powerful science ever conceived by human beings; yet as we are always evolving we might add, up until now. Tomorrow new technology will reveal more about our universe and how we fit into it. According to Price Pritchett, who wrote the amazing book, You 2, this information “has staggering implications regarding you, your potential, and the power of your mind.”ARTArticleAre You Really ‘Fixing’ Yourself, or Are You Simply ‘Learning’?Leadership and developing emotional intelligence is really personal growth and development. It is important to distinguish this. If leaders want to become more empathetic, engaging and inspiring, we must recognize that we need to change our self first. One reason why this feels so threatening and challenging is that society applies the connotation that personal growth means ‘fixing’ your self. This perception stops most people in their tracks when it comes to embracing personal growth and development.ARTArticleAre You Really Ready For A RelationshipAs we get older, we start hearing the little pit patter of feet in our minds. We start having dreams of having a husband, two-door garage complete with two point five kids. You may say that you are ready for a relationship. You are not getting any younger and after all you are a good catch. ...ARTArticleAre You Truly Listening?There is a saying “you cannot be mad in nature.” You may start out being upset, but as you walk amongst the tall oak trees and pines, nature brings peace to your soul. As you walk further you hear things; a squirrel running, birds chirping and the sound of water from a nearby creek. Being in nature softens the soul and makes you realize how wondrous our world really is.ARTArticleAre Your Breaking the Law?You may pay your taxes and stop at red lights, but that doesn't necessarily mean you haven't been breaking a few laws. I'm speaking about universal laws. The one you're probably most familiar with is the law of gravity. There's no disputing it. What goes up must come down. That's simple ...ARTArticleARM Yourself and Knockout Stage Fright for GoodTrembling hands. Dry mouth. Weak legs. Your mind is racing and so is your heart. Sound familiar?

As usual, everything is perfect on Tomorrowland's superhighway." I've known several people who worked for Disney, all the way from people who worked during their senior year in high school to people who actually helped them desig Disney World, Las Vegas and some of the attractions there, and obviously in Orlando.ARTArticleAsian gurus help start ups with more than coffee shop talk!Great Ideasr The greatest challenge to the greatest ideas is how to take your brainchild and make it real.
