ARTArticleRepeat The Self Confidence FormulaRecently, my friend Wendy Robbins asked me how I would advise someone who had just been faced with a difficult obstacle. For example, what if you've been laid off, or you've just had a parent die? Whatever the circumstance might be, how do you regain confidence so you can move forward again?
Well, honest to goodness, the thing I would recommend most is to keep reminding yourself of the self confidence formula, because it's all about the truth.ARTArticleResolving The Clash Between Younger and Older WorkersResolving The Clash Between Younger and Older Workers

“Conflict is inevitable, but combat is optional.” ~Max Lucade.ARTArticleRestlessness of the Heart“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” – Dr. Seuss (1904-1991) U.S. cartoonist and writer
Recently I ...ARTArticleRiches Are a ResultLet's talk a little bit about c2, as in that HoloMagic c2 Factor. You might remember Einstein's famous and well-known formula, E = mc2. Let's talk about that for a moment.
"E" is capitalized; "E" stands for Energy. Going across the equal sign, "m," which is usually written in lower case, is matter—times c-squared. C is the speed of light, and squared—well, that has to be a colossal number!
In the spiritual realms, you know how tiny the vibrations can be—but that's what happens. This equation says that energy equals matter, matter equals energy. One's on each side of the equation.ARTArticleRide the Tsunami of AppreciationThe Tsunami of Appreciation Blessing - kick start great blessings in your life with a wave of appreciation that blesses, waters and nurtures you and your surroundings.
B: Begin with your surroundings and find one thing you can appreciate and put your appreciative focus upon it: a painting, a flower, something you really like and really focus upon it, increasing your feelings of appreciation for it.
L: Life is best played as a Kim’s Game – where you remember every detail of beauty – the jewels in our environment that we can find, remember and appreciate.rARTArticleRisk, Reward, ProbabilityWhat would you do if someone said you had to make a decision on a purchase, an investment, a property—you call it—by the end of the day?
Well, you know what most people would do, don't you? They would do nothing—they would let the opportunity pass. Or there's the other group, who would get so scared and say, "Oh my God, I better do it now, because if I don't do it now I won't be able to do it!"
Hey, all you do is the same thing that you would normally do, but in fast-forward. You're a person who can make decisions.ARTArticleRunningIt was a winter wonderland. The tree limbs hung limp burden from the fallen snow. The moon was full, illuminating the night with its revealing presence. Confused, she continued her lone walk. She was hurting, not a physical hurt, she thought; that would have been easier to deal with. This was an ...ARTArticleSales Mastery Lessons From a HorseThe year was 1901. Europe was mesmerized by the appearance of a horse whose owner, Wilhelm Von Osten, claimed that it could add, subtract, multiply, and divide, as well as answering several other questions by tapping its hoof or gesturing with its head. Exhaustive research proved that their was ...ARTArticleSame Message - Many MessengersEverywhere you turn today, you see the headline: How to get what you want in life”, “how to succeed at anything, “how to live the life of your dreams” “how to use the Law of Attraction, “the Secret” and on and on.
Many teachers are delivering the same message in books, seminars and throughout the media. Countless people continue to flock to events and purchase numerous books in search of the answer to their burning question, “how can I change my life?”
The message is not new-age as some will assert; it is ageless.ARTArticleSame Winds, Different DirectionToday's author's insight goes without comment. It's from pages 174-175 of The NEW Think and Grow Rich, talking about reframing, recontexting, and reconceptualizing.
So often you hear me say, this philosophy is not new. You find in my humble opinion, the best, most actionable presentation of the ...ARTArticleSecrets from Teleprompter ProsWatch any skilled speaker on TV - a celebrity, news commentator, or political leader - and chances are, much of their seemingly "effortless" delivery is due to practiced use of a teleprompter.
It's also likely that, at some point in your role as a professional communicator, you'll be called on to use a teleprompter, if you haven't already done so.
Teleprompters are valuable tools, there's no doubt. But like any technology, their use shouldn't distract you from your primary goal: connecting with your audience.ARTArticleSee How Much You Can Give for a DollarI'm often asked—and it's a begging question, because I'm out there promoting the concept—"What makes a person exceptional?"
The real way to phrase the question, of course, is, "How can I be exceptional, and how can I get ahead in my enterprise, organization, or my own business?"
Well, it's ...ARTArticleSelf Improvement Anyone? (Or Do We Really Need to Be Fixed?)There is a proliferation of self improvement products and services in the marketplace these days. Courses, workshops, books, e-books, classes, teleclasses, videos, audio tapes, CD’s, DVD’s etc. And there appears to be more coming all of the time.

One of the all-time favorite themes is ‘The Hero’s Journey’. Adventure stories and lessons from fairy tales were, and still are, at the top of my list of favorite movies, books, and conversations. This is why movies like “The Hobbit,” “Lord of the Rings,” and even more contemporary movie settings in the ‘adventure’ genre are so popular. Too often we only live vicariously through the movies and lives of others. We see this journey in others, yet remain blind to our own personal hero or ‘shero’ journey.ARTArticleSELF-GROWTH REALITY REPAIRSELF-GROWTH REALITY REPAI

A marriage is about longevity, not about a weekend fling. It should not be entered into with thoughts of, "oh, if it doesn't work out, we can always get a divorce". It is an institution of love, commitment, respect and understanding. This means that excess emotional baggage, which includes childhood issues, past relationship issues and adult insecurities should be worked through before taking that final leap into a committed marriage.ARTArticleSexual Energy is an Unstoppable ForceKids experience sexual feelings at a very early age.

Rehana Matri sparked a response when she expressed: I wish Muslims would stop speaking English sprinkled with Arabic terminology because every word that is in Arabic can also be said in English. Why this mix of language, it does not help anyone who is not learned in the Arabic language. Just read someone writing about the concept of Ibadah. What is Ibadah? Even if a Muslim knows the meaning of the word a non Muslim would stumble on the word and will have no clue what the article is all about. So why be so sloppy in your speech?

Unless your target is a business or technical based prospect target, too many statistics bore your reader. So use everyday casual language to engage.ARTArticleSitting in Traffic.....Inspiration to write Poetry?I was sitting, in my car, on a freeway, (some might say a parking lot), stuck in traffic, not moving. To while away the time I was reading the bumper stickers and signs in the back windows of other automobiles. It suddenly struck me; the parallel between totems, talismans, and these stickers, magnets, paste-ons that modern man posts on his steel steed to declare his beliefs. Wondering if I’d ever get home.ARTArticleSo What Is A Guardian Angel?Have you ever pondered the question of what exactly is a Guardian Angel? I know I did.

You can’t understand some things,
You may think you can,
But you really can’t,
Especially the why questions,
Other people’s motivations,
And the purpose of things;
There is a clever way though,
In living the answers,
And doing a few simple things—
Growing some patience,
Thinking a little differently,
Relaxing your expectations,
And extending your time frame;
In the meantime, be more generousr
