Do any of these describe how you network at an event or conference:
• Do you dread going and drag that insecure and negative energy with you?
• Do you go anyway, knowing that it’s just a waste of time?
• Do you hang out by the food or bar to look busy because you are uncomfortable and don’t know what to do or say?
Networking events are touted as one of the most effective ways to find new clients or customers. We are frustrated with our lack of results.ARTArticleUltimate Success Secret On A Pedestal: Right PerspectiveULTIMATE SUCCESS SECRET ON A PEDESTAL: RIGHT PERSPECTIVEnBy

No matter who or what you become in this life, I will love you the same as this very moment. I will be proud of you no matter what! I will respect you for being you. I will love you forever, unconditionally.
My darling husband, you have your faults and I have mine. We have looked past them and into each other’s eyes. I will love you forever, unconditionally.ARTArticleUnconditional LoveUnconditional love is the act of loving someone regardless of one's actions or beliefs. It is the act of loving without expecting anything in return. It is about not looking at their skin color or any of their physical features, but looking right into someone’s soul and loving them the way they are.
A prime example of unconditional love is a child’s love for someone. They don’t set any boundaries. They love through their innocence. They forgive when wronged and they love easily.ARTArticleuncovering your brilliance :: live a life of truthrighteous truth? you are brilliant.
Choosing your path is in part heart, soul and DNA: For me, there was never a name for it; one part seer, one part compassion, another part seeker/driver. I was once nicknamed “Norma Rae” and even belonged to a union…well, actually two.
There is a Hawaiian word; “pono”, meaning "righteous". From my experience an attempt to live a life of truth + good intention can reap epic rewards.

They are the jealous ones; the haters.ARTArticleUnfairWhen you’re down it seems like life isn’t fair. Then like a flash of light all those instances when life treated you unfairly passed before your eyes and you remember the feeling of helplessness with each situation. On some days, life just isn’t fair.
Life is about that moment when you decide to turn the tables on that circumstance. Sure, you could sit and whine about all the unfai
ess that was thrown at you, or you can change your situation.ARTArticleUniversal Peace Calendar„When someone dreams alone it´s just a dream.

Learning to listen to and trust your intuition can help relieve the stress in your ...ARTArticleValentine's DayValentine’s Day might be considered to many as a Hallmark holiday. For some it might just be another day that they want to forget, and for other’s it will be a day that they will always remember. Some will go all out lavishly as a token to express their love. For some an “I love you” will simply suffice.ARTArticleValue Yourself Even When Others Don’t!Who you are, including your dreams, will not be more important to someone else as you will be to you.

n“Slow down you’re doing fine. You can’t be everything you want to be before your time.” ~Billy Joel.
There is too much hype about thriving to success and way too many hits about that “race” on the I-net (only 360 million!). Even the most simple, ...ARTArticleWant More Personal Power? Feel Into It!Personal power is something that many people think they can “get” by controlling or manipulating others. Actually, power comes from “being” personal power. It’s a quality of radiance. I would not call power over others, personal power. I see that as mere force, based in scarcity and fear mentality. Do you realize that “survival of the fittest” is really just a paradigm? Science already shows that there is no “objective” reality, and Einstein said long ago “reality is an illusion; albeit a very persistent one.”ARTArticleWant Success? Think Positive“A man is but the product of his thoughts … what he thinks, he becomes.”rn-Mahatma Gandhi.
Whatever happens in your life is the result of what thoughts pass through your mind. Your thoughts, good or bad, pass into your subconscious mind and greatly influence your behavior and produce similar results. But unfortunately most of us are not even aware of the unlimited power of thoughts. Good, positive thoughts lead to pleasant, happy experiences and negative thinking produces unhappy and unfavorable results. In short, as your thoughts are, so is your life.ARTArticleWatch Your MetaphorsMake yourself aware of underlying metaphors in your communication.

“Courage is fire, and bullying is smoke.” ~Benjamin Disraeli.
Bullies
Bullies come in all shapes and sizes—
Countries, religions, girls and men,
Strong, weak, big or small,
All doing the same thing though;
Shouting and spreading their hurt,
Suffering and pain,
Beating others down,
To pull themselves up;
Not seeing their wrongs,
Or admitting insecurity,
Not being content in any way,
Continuing the cycle of hurt,rARTArticleWe are here today thanks to Mom, says Mike Ghouse. The best lady in the world!To the Americans it is Mom, but to the British it is Mum! (or is it!)ARTArticleWe Love Others to the Degree We Love OurselvesFebruary makes me think of Valentine's Day with its theme of love. What better time to remind yourself of all it takes to build your own foundation of love so you can truly love others. If you value loving and giving to others, take time to nurture your own self-esteem, build your reserves so you can give from the overflow. If building your own self-esteem is new, begin by taking the Self-Esteem Awareness Inventory, at the end of this article. If you are a seasoned traveler, review the inventory to enjoy your progress.ARTArticleWhat all Muslims, Jews and Christians should be doingHARMONIOUS HOME

It is ...ARTArticleWhat Is Codependence and How Does It Affect My Life?Codependence is a new word that became popular in the 1980's. It has become a buzzword and important for you to understand in becoming the person you want to be. In less aware times codependence was considered normal. To be good, perfect, compliant, agreeable, giving, and selfless was rewarded and was the unconscious standard with which many people, especially women were conditioned. Now we are understanding that there is a fine line between where being selfless and taking care of others crosses over to becoming a disease similar to having a physical addiction.ARTArticleWhat Is It That Matters Most?n“It’s not what you do, but how much love you put into it that matters.” ~Mother Teresa.
