ARTArticleCall to Prayer and Success: Blessings of God through Prayer by Rehana MatriCall to Successr
The caller from the Mosque calls people to come for prayer, to come to success.
Source of Success
A great number of people, however, do not come because they want to come to success in their work, thinking that it is their presence in their business that provides them with success.
Fools’ Paradiser
How foolish if they think that success comes to them other than by the blessings of God!

If they were to leave their business and listen to the call of God via the caller from the Mosque their success in business would not suffer but would increase.ARTArticleCareer Change: Have The Career You Want by Embracing ChangeChanging careers, going back to school or going back to work is a wonderful life space to be in. Yet it can be so scary leaving what we know and are familiar with. In fact it can scare the heck out of you! This familiar place is often called your "comfort zone". However, isn't it strange to use ...ARTArticleCareer Changers - Blazing New Trails To A New Career"The secret of joy in work is contained in one word - excellence.

To some ...ARTArticleCareer Success - It Is Better To Compliment Than to Complain For Career Satisfaction"Too often we under estimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around." --Leo Buscaglia
It is not unheard of to hear tales of unpleasant comments and attitudes in the ...ARTArticleCareer Success Strategies - Interview With Your First Impression in Mind"A statesman who keeps his ear permanently glued to the ground will have neither elegance of posture nor flexibility of movement." -- Abba Eban (1915-2002)

Am I forsaken?
“Ms. Richardson?”
My name being hailed pulled me from my quiet appraisal of the handsome soap opera star I was watching on the small television in the waiting room.
Standing I approached the X-ray technician and my heart plummeted. ...ARTArticleCelebrate The Dead Leaves and High WindsAs I write this, it's a beautiful February morning in Nashville, Tennessee. And sometimes when the winds step up just a little bit, you can hear the dead leaves—the leaves that turned red and brown and golden, and now they all look dead. Many hang from the trees still…
And the winds are coming—we're coming into March, which is a time when traditionally we have a lot of wind. The purpose of the wind? It's all cyclical, part of this giant HoloCosm that works together, and it works together as one unity.ARTArticleCelebrate TodayThere are special moments in life, which really, the appropriate response is to celebrate. We’re humans and this is part of the human condition. And I want to share with you one of those special moments that just happened to me just a couple of days ago.

March 15, 2009 took the family - of course mainly the seven year old daughter - to HoloMagic Kingdom.
And of course, after a full day of rides, and shows, and adventure, and ice cream, and all that good stuff, we were waiting at—in front of HoloMagic Castle, we were in Magic Kingdom in Disney World.ARTArticleCelebrating The Beauty And Joy Of The EarthWe know pollution, personal and political grievances and turmoil, and tribal conflict are widespread in the world, but we have not found a way to fix them. So, what can we do to resolve the problems of the Earth? These conflicts are but reflections of our own inner turmoil which need resolution, ...ARTArticleChange and Adapt to Thrive in a New EnvironmentThere's a statement in the business training that we put on that you want to get familiar with. We get everybody to buy into it, and understand what it really means. It's this: “Be the competitor you would hate to have as a competitor.” Be the best. Be unique.
For instance, in this current economic depression that we're in, with rollback and bankruptcy, I wonder why they would let an electronics company go down—and why they would work so hard to keep a bank and an insurance company afloat.
I know that's not funny for Circuit City, the comparison between electronics and banking.ARTArticleChange the Question and You Will Win“The question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don’t we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.” –Elaine Dundy

I wanted to open the space so I moved my couch to the other wall. Periodically I enjoy changing the look of a room as it shifts the energy and everything feels fresh.
Sitting on the couch with my coffee this morning and looking out ...ARTArticleCollaborative Leadership: Are You a Mindful Leader?Mindful leadership is an idea whose time is here… now. Now is the present moment, and unless you can be self-aware enough to listen to what is present to you, here, now, you are not showing up as a mindful leader. Mindfulness takes practice, particularly in our hyperactive culture, which is full of fear, distraction and “never enoughness.”
Granted, it is highly unlikely that you live every moment of your life mindfully, but for most people even if they could do it for a few moments or minutes at a time, they are ahead of the game. Actually, this is serious business.ARTArticleCollaborative Leadership: Obama Tech Team Lessons in AdaptabilityA brilliant example of collaborative leadership in action is illustrated in an article I read in yesterday’s Sunday Business Section of the newspaper entitled “Obama Tech Team Ventures Forward”:
Collaborative Leadership Structure is an innovation to the traditional hierarchical structure. It is not a style of consensus, yet it has far greater flexibility than the outdated, ‘command-control’ style of leadership commonly seen within hierarchical cultures.ARTArticleComplain Pill: Throw it Down the Drain!“Man spends his life in reasoning on the past, in complaining of the present, in fearing future.” - Antoine Rivarol

Every weekend I teach more than 10 classes at different levels. One of my classes is an all-girls class at Primary 2 level (they are 8 years of age going on 9). They love princesses and wanted to have a princess party. After getting the parents permission we finally had our party.
What is a Princess Party?
This is my first time to attend a princess party and this is the format:

As this is a private party, there were no cameras because royalty don’t like to be photographed when they are off duty. So there are no pics.

not by what they say they are gratitude for,
but how they respect
what they claim to be grateful for.”rn~ Mrs. Donna Priscott~
My mother was of my greatest examples on how to live life with honesty and integrity. This quote was one of her favorite sayings. Long after her passing, I remember every time she said it to me. She wanted me to learn that people don’t just see what I say, they learn who I am by how my actions match my words.ARTArticleConquer the world when you put friendship and smiles first in your lifeTHE BLESSING OF FRIENDSHIP

L: Loving thoughts are all I feel for my friends. Loving ways are the hallmarks of great friendships. Loyal friends are worth more than apples of gold and silver.
E: Endearing qualities are produced when two friends express their friendship and love for each other.
S: Super blessed are we when we find our friend soulmates.rARTArticleConsistent Follow Ups with ExcellenceMost of the time, people are afraid of following up with clients or prospective clients because they might become too pushy. Nevertheless, do you often get annoyed if someone pursues to follow up you? Most likely, not very often. Okay, well perhaps you put out if a certain person only tends to make contact and then attempt to sell something to you. Nobody really wants to feel they're being offered something. Whenever we buy something, we do this because many of us believe that they may add worth to our lives as well as to help us achieve something we really desire.ARTArticleContentment: A Powerful Attitude to AdoptMy special dog, Elena, has been my companion around the house for several years now. She's a Labrador retriever, she's about eight human years old, and she's just a great companion.
Now, she can teach us something about life as it can be and should be, and is for a lot of entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants and information marketers out there. It definitely is a life of contentment.
I was thinking about that as I was finishing off my breakfast recently. I actually mix four cereals together, great brands. I like to put on a little banana, pour in lowfat milk—a healthy thing, right?ARTArticleControl Yourself, Control Your Life“No evil propensity of the human heart is so powerful that it may not be subdued by discipline.” ~ - Seneca (Roman philosopher, mid-1st century AD)

Control: To exercise authoritative or dominating influence over; to direct or command.
Manage: To succeed in accomplishing, sometimes despite difficulty or hardship; to exert influence over for the better.ARTArticleCoping with Difficult Times in a RecessionNo individual government leader can pull our country, or any other country, out of the recession the world is in. It will take guidance, planning, and cooperation amongst a broad coalition of people and that includes us.

There’s a lot of talk on the airwaves about innovation, productivity, employee engagement, and team building”…lots of talk. It’s really time for more action. I will say that I am seeing signs that people are finally realizing that we are “not in Kansas anymore,” as Dorothy said in the movie “The Wizard of Oz” when her house landed on the witch.ARTArticleCOURAGE in 2013We all have what Freud calls an Alter Ego. As a child mine was Superman. I would dive off my back porch with a towel around my neck landing on my belly with arms outstretched scraping my elbows until they bled.
For the past twelve years or more my Alter Ego has been that of a Samurai Warrior which has given me the strength and courage to overcome the many obstacles I've faced and to be a better servant to others in need.ARTArticleCrave Your Goals!
