The Best Way To Predict The Future Is To Create It.
Imagine being a wizard. If you were, you would have the powers of creation and transformation. You would be able to bring things into existence and transform what you dislike into something you do like. If you had such powers, what would you create? What would you change? If we would awaken ...

“I live to laugh and laugh to live.” (Milton Berle, 1908~2002)
A reader writes, “I read your article, The Benefits of Laughter, and while finding it most informative I also felt as though it were rubbing salt in a wound. You see, unfortunately I cannot laugh, and have been looking for all sorts of medical help with this problem. Of course you didn’t know that I am going through a particularly difficult time learning to laugh. However, perhaps you could make things easier for me by sharing knowledge of anyone who shares my condition or perhaps what you think might help. I have tried comedies, jokes, funny stories, tickling.

Self-Discipline Is the Mother of Happiness
Does the title of this article sound like a contradiction or oxymoron? After all, “self-discipline” makes one think of work or effort, while “happiness” brings up thoughts of pleasure and the absence of work. So, how can the two go together? Well, first we have to understand what happiness is. It is peace of mind. And what exactly does that mean? That simply means FREEDOM FROM shame, guilt, regret, anger, resentment, greed, jealousy, frustration, sadness, self-doubt, fear, boredom, stress, anxiety, loneliness, and all other negative emotions.

A Problem Is Your Chance to Do Your Best
Problems: we’ve all got them in one form or another. It may be health problems, financial difficulties, relationship trouble, career worries, or something else. Yes, we all have challenges to face, puzzles to unravel, and hurdles to overcome. But is that so bad? Psychiatrist, best-selling author and screenwriter, Theodore Isaac Rubin doesn’t think so, for he wrote, “The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.”

Is Life an Adventure or Misadventure?
Is life an adventure or a misadventure? The question is an important one because the view we take colors everything we experience. Our attitude or perspective either works for or against us. So, now and then we need to pause and examine which way our life is heading. After all, if we don't change our direction, we will end up where we are heading.

Like Champagne, Make Your Life Sparkle
Stuff happens. What happens is neither good nor bad. It merely IS. But we, in our attempt to understand everything, stick labels on things. We call things big or small, hot or cold, smooth or rough. These descriptive words can help, but where we go astray is when we label things as ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ These two words (and other negative and positive words) do not describe reality; they merely describe how we FEEL at the moment.

“Life is about not knowing... Delicious ambiguity!”
Some people are uncomfortable with ambiguity. They have a need for precision. In their eyes, the world is clearly defined. Things are good or bad, right or wrong, virtuous or sinful. The problem is, the only time that is true is while we dream. Of what value is life if we choose to sleep through it?

Don’t Do the Wrong Things and the Right Things Will Happen
Life is not meant to be complicated. It is straightforward. It’s simply a matter of doing the right things. And when we do so, the right things will happen. The reward for doing the right things is success, happiness, and fulfillment. But when we do the wrong things, we reap failure, misery, and regret. So, what are the wrong things? The list below is enough to get you started.

Acting without Thinking Is Shooting without Aiming
You wouldn’t fire a gun without aiming, would you? So, why would we act without thinking? When we live as robots doing whatever feels good instead of whatever is best for us, there is a heavy price to pay. Replacing thoughtful behaviour with thoughtless acts leads to material, mental, and physical suffering: lost dreams, emotional turmoil, and bodily pain and illness.

Peak Performers Manage Their Strengths and Weaknesses, Part One: Our Weaknesses
Many are painfully aware of weaknesses that hold them back. Yet, surprisingly, they are unaware of their many strengths. Focusing on our weaknesses while ignoring our strengths can be a source of discouragement and failure. And glorifying our strengths while ignoring our weaknesses can be equally unproductive. It is only when we give equal weight to our strong points and faults that we can realize our potential. Also note that we must choose our friends carefully because each relationship nurtures our strengths or feeds our weaknesses.

Peak Performers Manage Their Strengths and Weaknesses, Part Two: Our Strengths
Our Strengths A) The Big Picture We all have strengths. But we cannot just smugly sit self-satisfied like a Cheshire cat. Rather we need to further develop our strong points because it’s a matter of using them or losing them. Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890~1969) explains, “Our real problem, then, is not our strength today; it is rather the vital necessity of action today to ensure our strength tomorrow.” As a military commander he knew we must never run from, but squarely face adversity, for we gain the strength we have overcome.
