ARTArticleThe Joy of Doing NothingI spent this past Saturday essentially doing nothing, which is very unlike me. Well it wasn’t exactly nothing, but as far as the analytical part of my brain was conce ed, it was a day of rest and relaxation. My husband and I drove 2 ½ hours each way to visit our son at college and attend his (indoor) track meet. For those of you unfamiliar with track meets, there’s a lot – I’m talking hours and hours – of sitting around. Our son participated in only two of the dozens of events, so we spent lots of time watching people we didn’t know compete.ARTArticleThe Law of Success and the Law of Attraction"The LAW of SUCCESS requires that the Law of Attraction be accompanied by the Law of Inner Alignment and the Law of Right Action!" ~ Troyann Are you in complete harmony with all components of the Law of Success?

With an 8.17% rating, E is in fact, the most popular letter in the alphabet. Z is the last letter in the alphabet and ironically, it’s the least favorite with a 0.07% rating. You’re probably wondering if I’m going to rate all of the letters in the alphabet. No worries, but one day it dawned on me that some of my Favorite words begin with the letter “F”.ARTArticleThe LineThe lines that we bare are so unmistakable. We have this code that we sell ourselves from the time we are able to understand what exactly we want out of life, and who we want to become. I will do this, but I won’t do that. We set up our expectations of others along the way. Some will live up to those expectations, others won’t come close. We have in our mind who we will get close to and who we won’t. The types of people that we will date and the type of friends we will have.ARTArticleThe Moment of TruthThe moment of truth is that moment when you realize that you can’t run from your fears. When you have to face what it is that you don’t want to face. It is about coming to terms and about letting go of what you don’t need in your life anymore. It might sound like a cliché but it’s the truth. Let’s see how it works. This is a test for you to do to see how much you have grown. You can pick a person, place or thing that you use to like.

Notice these things when you leave.ARTArticleThe Myth of Multitasking<object width="448" height="273"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2D3hB278Gc?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="448" height="273" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K2D3hB278Gc?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>ARTArticleThe New YouIf you are tired of the way things are going, if you have lost your job and are getting those rejection letters as fast as you are submitting your resume, this will help you along.

The conclusion was essentially that women are not happier despite educational gains, social status and higher levels of economic power; in fact maybe they are less happy.ARTArticleThe Power of Networking: Heart, Lies, and VideotapesNetworking and personal power are vital to growing your business and being a successful leader. This is true whether you are a one-person business, a professional, or a corporate leader running a billion-dollar business. Nowadays, this is truer than ever. We have systematically been taught in the past (which means it is a part of most people’s habitual way of thinking, whether they realize it consciously or not) that rugged individualism and “logical” thinking is the path to “success.” Of course, that depends on what one means by success.ARTArticleThe Power of SleepOne of the most powerful resources for improving all areas of your life is as simple as a good night's sleep. Yes, you have much to do, and miles to go before you...well, you get the joke. But in order to raise your level of accomplishment in any arena, you must increase your energy.

It allows us to see and experience things differently when we are open to this. It can shift our perspective much like the practice of forgiveness.ARTArticleThe Pull We FaceThe pull we face is our daily fight between wanting to do right & the temptation of wrong that is available to us. In the world that we live in currently there is a constant convenience available to sin. In fact it is such a convenience of sin available, it’s a wonder anyone can simply do right at this point. This is where it then becomes a choice of whether or not you want what God has promised you in this life as well as the life thereafter to make whatever adjustments necessary in your life that will allow you to have more of him and less of myself.ARTArticleThe Quantum Half of MeThe Quantum Half of Me The Wisdom of Rhiannon In Celtic Wales long, long before the Romans invaded, Rhiannon had been a Druid High Priestess. Later in Norman England Rhiannon was a healer. Still later, in Henry the eighth’s reign, Rhiannon was burned as a witch. Through her many lives Rhiannon has always been female. On the other hand I, as the lower half of this duality, have always been male.

It was possibly one of the dirtiest restrooms I’ve seen. It looked like a truck stop restroom. I decided to go to the restroom next door at a coffee shop. It was pristine. The cleanliness of a restroom tells me a lot about how a business is run. The office retailer, for example, had shelves that weren’t messy, and the uniforms that the customer service reps were dirty, as if they hadn’t been washed in weeks. The entire store just felt grimy. I wanted to get out of there fast.ARTArticleThe Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D.

When our boys were a bit younger we used to play The Silent Game – you know, the first person to speak (break the silence) is ‘out’.

For now, let’s call him Dale. Like many entrepreneurial artists, Dale had a day job, and he was trying to build his craft business during his spare time. One of the first questions I asked him was whether he wanted to turn this craft business into his main form of income. Dale said that he couldn’t figure out how to turn his craft into a full time business. I tried to point out to Kevin that my question was not whether he knew how to turn his craft into his main form of income.ARTArticleTHE TAO OF NEW INFORMATION AGE TIME MANAGEMENTTHE TAO OF NEW INFORMATION AGE TIME MANAGEMENT Byr Bill Cottringer “The challenge today is to catch up to the shift between the manufacturing age goal of squeezing a penny out of a nickel to the new information age goal of squeezing a nickel out of a penny.” ~The author.ARTArticleThe True Master Of The Clock & Calendar Has Neither!The True Master Of The Clock & Calendar Has Neither!
