The False Assumptions That Sabotage Your Success
There are dozens of resolutions your could set this New Year, and just as many reasons behind choosing them. The desire for a better life could push you to ask for that promotion, go back to college, stop being an emotional doormat, and be more confident. Guilt could spur you to stick to that diet and exercise plan or stay on a budget. When you promise yourself that you'll limit your spending, you'll feel a sense of relief because you've unburdened yourself of the guilt of overspending. You might also feel excited about paying off bills and being financially free.

The Creativity Bone’s Connected to the Confidence Bone
How was your day? We utter this question blithely every day, not realizing how monumental it is. Indeed, it’s the single most important question you’ll ever ask. We talk about life being short, but 80 years is really a long time. Life’s too long to fight evolution. When you have the opportunity to be fulfilled, life’s way too long to be bored making mediocre stuff all day. Are you tired of being stuck in the rut of doing things the way they’ve always been done? Are you ready to shake things up a bit, but hesitate because of the uncertainty in the economy?

Love is a Many Scary Thing
As human beings, one of our primary needs is to cultivate healthy self-love. But at the same time, we have a strong drive to connect with others. Relating and loving are innate. The more people we have who love us, the more secure we feel, and the sweeter our lives are. The pleasures we experience in life are deeper and richer when we share them with our loved ones. In our relationships, we’re driven by the desire to feel loved, understood and accepted for who we are. And nowhere else in life does the fear of rejection shake us to our very core than in the arena of romantic love.

Are You Bringing Your Legacy to Life?
The same thing that makes a diamond sparkle makes you sparkle, too: individuality! Everyone leaves their unique mark on the world. Your actions have an impact on the future of your family and friends; they’ll carry the memory of you as part of their life. How do you want to be remembered? Baby Boomers are increasingly thinking about their legacy. Traditionally, legacy has been about how much money the kids would inherit when you died, and/or making a big impact on future generations through civic engagement (uplifting the downtrodden) or moral teaching.

The Web You're Weaving
There's a fascinating relationship among Twitter, your brain and the world. Billions of tweets, texts, posts, emails, and phone calls have one thing in common: they're neural signals in the global brain. We've already seen how quickly and profoundly social networks have altered the global brain. Each tiny tweet, at a larger level, is shaping the next global identity, a “we” that everyone can have a powerful voice in.

A Shocking New Revelation About Your Genes
Three hundred years ago, Isaac Newton proposed a radical new theory: the human body is a biological machine that responds solely to physical stimuli. Thus, the health of your physical machine is improved with nutrition, exercise and drugs. Accordingly, the mechanistic Central Dogma of molecular biology (circa 1958) states that your DNA was preset before your birth, so your health has been almost entirely pre-programmed.

The Surprising Power of the Placebo Effect
One gap between your capabilities and the repetitive tasks that can cause you discomfort over time relates to the placebo effect. You’ve heard of the placebo effect: a percentage of test subjects get better when they’re given a sugar pill. The reverse can also happen. The nocebo effect causes subjects to get worse.

Are You Making the Most of This Season?
Last week, I stood on my back porch, watching the snow fall. No matter how many times I see it, I'm always struck by how magical this act of nature feels. Peaceful. Quiet. Lovely. Winter is a sacred time of the year. Our modern culture has collapsed the introspective potential of winter into just New Year's eve. Then it's back to the rat race of nonstop work. For most of us, the seasons have no effect on our jobs.

Six Things Your Life Coach Doesn't Want You To Know
There are many confusing and false messages bouncing around in cyberspace about life coaching. After coaching 600 people over the past 13 years, talking with dozens of coaches and surfing the websites of about 100 more, I'm sharing my take on what coaching is—and isn't. I'd like to say upfront that my intention is not to offend or denigrate. I'm simply stating my informed opinion, which is best taken with a grain of salt.

Another Critical Life Skill You Aren’t Leveraging
Human beings have survived for 2.5 million years because we are the most highly adaptable species on the planet. We adapt to both subtle and extreme shifts in our environment quickly. And for the most part, I believe, gracefully. When I used to visit my grandmother in Indiana, I’d fly in and rent a car. Within 10 minutes, I had adapted to my new environment. I could change stations on the radio (my highest priority). I could turn on the headlights and windshield wipers. I could maneuver the pedals and steer a car I had never seen before in a city I’d never been in before. No big deal.

The Formula for Making Good on Your New Year’s Resolutions
Well, it's been a month since you made your New Year’s resolutions. How's it going? Are you making steady progress? Or, like most of us, have you given up on them? When you made your New Year’s resolutions for this year, you might have used the formula that is very popular these days among the goal-setting gurus, called SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time Specific. This process works well for helping you track your progress toward your goals, but it skips the critical step of helping you identify a goal you really want to get to.
