ARTArticleHow To Learn And Speak A New Language Fluently Without Taking A Single ClassAlthough English is spoken by a vast amount of people worldwide, it is still not the number one spoken language in the world.

We may have also heard, “What you fear, will appear.” Why is this?” Actually, it is quite simple. This may shock you, but here goes: Fear is in reality WANTING something to happen! For Sedona Method grads, it is just below Lust on the Energy Chart. The Lust feeling of Wanting something gets suppressed into the lower energy of Fear, where we can pretend we are a victim.

If you are old enough to remember when debit cards didn’t exist you probably recall being at the grocery store with a cart full of food and household products and realizing that you had way overshot your mark. You could either write a check if you were confident that there were sufficient funds to cover it, pay cash or ask the checker to remove items. This meant an eye-rolling delay for the people in line behind you, but it had to be done.ARTArticleHow to Save Money While Helping the EnvironmentMany people still think that being environmentally friendly costs more, and in some cases this can be true, but there are many things the average person can do that will save money and help the environment.

They are readily available in lighting shops, hardware stores and even supermarkets are catching the idea.ARTArticleHow to Use Transitions as Opportunities for TransformationWhen I talk about transitions, I am speaking about the major milestones in one's life. The saying that "the only constant in life is change" is true. But there is something a little different which occurs when we are facing one of life's major milestones - divorce, empty nesting, career change, moving out of a home, starting a new business - that is pure energy able to be put in motion and directed, and ripe with opportunity. It is big.ARTArticleHow to Work the HoloCosmOn page 284 of The NEW Think and Grow Rich is a section called "How to Work the HoloCosm."

The writer must be more than just a writer who has researched the subject. They must feel what the reader feels, know and understand their personal fears, questions, hopes and dreams.....
Entrepreneurs are an exclusive bunch of thinkers. They think BIG, and don't let things stand in their way.ARTArticleI Didn't Think It Was SillyI didn't think it was silly, even though I was in dire economic circumstances—which in my life, at that time, translated into the fact that I didn't have a job. For my own reasons—which I didn't realize at that point—I couldn't find a job.ARTArticleI Give You February 2009 - Open the GiftThis morning I was looking at my calender at February and it occurred to me that it is the perfect month. It begins on a Sunday, the start of a new week and it ends on a Saturday, the last and final day of the week.
It consists of only 28 days, 4 full weeks, and unlike the other months of the ...ARTArticleI Got My Butt Kicked - And Remembered the Importance of My True SelfSo, I’ve been going along, loving my life, loving my work.

Some time goes by, and I get a stronger clunk on the head. Spirit says, “YO! I’m talking to you!” Okay, I listen closer and I begin to get new ideas, see things a little differently, take some action, but still I don’t quite act decisively.ARTArticleI never could have made itI have heard that song by Marvin Sapp on several occasions; yet I never really paid much attention to the popular song.

We're having a great time, and I'll tell you what—this Walt Disney is a good example of someone who set out with a vision and a dream, and a standard of excellence. Today we're in the Orlando version; there are thousands and thousands of families here.
In fact, this stuff that you might have heard about a recession—you'd never know it's happening here, I tell you.
What do we have here, with Walt Disney? Do we have a man who didn't have any setbacks in his life? No, he had several.ARTArticleImperfectly Done, But DoneThere was an American general during World War II who was quoted to have said, "A good plan violently executed today is better than a perfect plan executed next week." The words may not be exact, but you definitely catch the drift. And that is a characteristic of achievers, of those who get ahead.
They're decisive; they get enough information, and they act. Some people call them impetuous. Of course, the ground they cover compared to a normal person is incredible—but they get enough information, they make a decision, and they move on it.
That's a trait that you can develop, too.ARTArticleInformation Overload: How to Fight the Urge to Say Too MuchA client recently asked, “How do I control my urge to give more information than my audience needs?”
Great (and very mindful) question! Consider this answer from authors Dan and Chip Heath in Made to Stick. They say that in an effort to be complete, we often feel obligated to share every single thing we know rather than considering just what our listeners need to get the point (called “The Curse of Knowledge” by the authors).
When “cursed,” we keep going and going; as a result, little sticks with our now-overwhelmed audience. Sound familiar?ARTArticleInner Critic: The 4 Year Old Driving Your CarLife is a journey!

Some people are able to move forward in the direction of their dreams; others continue to make wrong turns or get stuck in a rut.ARTArticleInsane, Long-Term, Moneymaking VenturesResourcefulness in any economy, in any time, is a very valuable trait. I recently sent an email to a friend of mine I was planning to meet the next day. We were both traveling in to do a conference, and we're helping people in their economic foundations—building business.
Of course with me, a lot of it's the philosophy and instilling the philosophy—but the point is, it was just an email. I was just saying, "Hey, I'm looking forward to meeting you tomorrow," because we're both marketers and we've had a relationship by email and phone for a while.ARTArticleInspiration in the Check-Out LineDo you remember when I wrote, ‘when something or someone inspires you, grab hold and don’t let go?
inspiration, writing, story telling, blogging, blogs, short stories,, short plays, life The other day I was standing in line at the grocery store, minding my own business…preoccupied that I was leaving my dogs in the car too long….when I suddenly became aware of the man in front of me being checked out. I had picked that line because it appeared that he only had maybe six items, (boxes of something) and I was eager to get checked out. (the dogs…remember?)ARTArticleInspiration is All Around YouHere's a challenge: Find inspiration in someone who bugs you. Yes, seriously. Find what it is this annoying person gives to the world. Look for why this person is special.
You want to know why?
Because when you do that, you realize that we are all beautiful, special individuals. We all come from the same creation.

We lost something very important to our childrens’ futures.
Too many teenagers today are no longer inspired to achieve, they think work is a bad four letter word. They don’t have the hopes and dreams that we did. They do not respect their elders anymore, and see their parents as slaves.
