ARTArticlePersonal Development: The Value of Meaning and PassionKnowing your life purpose makes life more meaningful and fulfilling. It gives you the “why” to look forward to in your day, in your work, and in your life overall. Knowing your true values can point you in the direction of your purpose; they underpin meaning. Otherwise, you may find yourself in the nightmare of the “routine”: Wake up, go to work, come home, eat, take care of “stuff”, and go to sleep… repeat. How dull. How painful! Life is meant to be an adventure of growth and learning. It’s not about clinging to a mediocre life, and then you die. How sad.ARTArticlePersonal Power Increases with a Purpose FilterPersonal power and a sense of purpose are at the foundation of real productivity. Having a sense of purpose that is compelling for you fuels personal power and passion. Personal power is not about ‘power over’ others. It is not even about always ‘being in control’ over the environment. Haven’t you noticed? We cannot always control the environment or what happens to us, so we surely cannot really control other people.ARTArticlePersonal Success Strategy - Schedule a Mind-Rest Date"It is the journey that brings us happiness, not the destination." - Dan Millman - Peaceful Warrior Do you ever feel as if your mind were about to burst from overwhelm?

He was downtrodden and perhaps even contemplating that everything was hopeless. He was not alone in that cave. A spider was his companion and he watched with wonder as the spider spun his web. The spider tried many times to create his web but never gave up. A SPIDER NEVER GIVES UP SO WHY SHOULD YOU If a spider never gives up, why should Robert the Bruce, so he resolved to fight again. Our spider was both patient and persistent.ARTArticlePractical Ways to Cope with Job TransitionsThe daily news about the American economy is not rosy and it may be that you are conce ed about your present position, have lost your job due to layoff, or are taking on a new job.

These early beliefs about reality actually shape our perception and subsequent experiences. Where did you get yours? Most of us adopted our opinions from parents, teachers, media, friends and religious leaders.ARTArticlePresentation Tips: 8 Methods to Grab the Attention of Your AudienceIn this age of information overload, the window of opportunity to keep your audience’s attention gets smaller by the tweet. How bad is it? It has been reported that we are bombarded by the equivalent of 174 newspapers of data a day. No doubt about it; we constantly battle a tidal wave of information demanding our attention. The question is, “what can you do to capture the attention of your listeners?” Here are eight ways to “disrupt” the barrage of noise so your message is heard. 1. Tell a story.r ARTArticlePresidential Debate #2: Who Won?The tension was palatable as the 2012 Presidential Town Hall meeting concluded. Following the debate, both men greeted their families and then continued campaigning — signing autographs and having their picture taken. Neither candidate turned to greet the other, neither acknowledged the others family. To me, this was a natural reaction to the animosity that was expressed during the debate. And in fact, if they had greeted each other I would have questioned the authenticity of the gesture.ARTArticlePresidential Debate #3: Five Lessons to Step-Up Your Next PresentationThe pressure was on, each candidate striving to deliver the knock-out punch that would leave a lasting impression, swaying undecided voters. Two evenly matched candidates, this debate felt like a tug-of-war … one moment one candidate winning until the rebuttal, when his opponent would take the lead. While I thought Obama was closer to his second-debate performance tha Romney was to his first round win, all in all I’d say it was a draw. Why? Quite different in their styles, both men projected the confidence, credibility and connection that is critical to presidential leadership.ARTArticlePresidential Election: Winner and Loser, How Gracious Were They?Watching the presidential election coverage I wondered, how the two candidates felt as the returns streamed in? How would the "loser" prepare himself for his final speech? And how would the "winner" present himself as he delivered that all-important acceptance speech to the American public?ARTArticlePurposeful And Directed ImageryThe power of the mind to influence the body is quite remarkable. Imagery can be helpful in 90 percent of the problems that people bring to their doctors or counselors. Images are the most fundamental language we have. Everything you do, the mind processes through images. When we recall events from our past, it is hardly ever through words. Images may not be limited to visual. We can include sounds, tastes, smells or a combination of those sensations.ARTArticleRandom Observations on the Current Economic CrisisAlong with the rest of the world, I am watching the United States economy as well as the world economy. Here are some sobering statistics for certain groups from a recent survey by MarketWatch.com WORKING FAMILIES 60% of Americans are not prepared for today's crisis. 50% could only go one month without a paycheck before falling behind in bill payments. 25% will fall behind immediately if missing a paycheck. Our savings rate as a country was negative for most of the decade. It is now up to 3%. That is good, but not where it needs to be which is around 9 or 10%. So keep saving!ARTArticleRape And A Snake Phobia: Can They Be Connected?Rape can have a devastating effect on a person’s life. Some of that effect can be easy to identify.

You have to re-create those events and turn them into lessons. Turn those lessons into positives events that will mold you into the person you want to become.

Sighing, Alma got slowly to her feet. She walked over and slouched into one of the kitchen chairs. “Ya want some milk for your coffee? I think it’s still good.” Alma waved her hand at the refrigerator. “Naw, I like mine black. Thanks anyway.” “Yeah, me too.

But in a manner of speaking, I am excited about these tough economic times, these cutbacks, these peels and reels of people who were put out on the street. No job, three months of COBRA benefits, insurance only. It's going to be bleak. Of course, they're getting help from here and there—and they're really acting it, expecting it, and demanding it. That's another story, too. But here's the point.ARTArticleReminding the Entire HoloCosmAre you like most of us? Do you need an occasional kick in the bucket? Well, here it is, then!
