What if it isn’t hard to change? Last week in step 1 we discussed that in order to program our autopilot for success we need a high level goal. I also shared my high level goal with you. You’ll have to let us know if you came up with one that makes your heart leap. [...]

You Should Be Committed–part 2.
February 13th, 2012 · No Comments · Fear, Planning, Process, Self Mastery

Not as in… “They’re coming to take [you] away ha ha ho ho he he…to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time” … even though that actually does sounds pretty good. (If you don’t remember it that quote is from an old song – recorded in 1966. You can experience it on [...]

I had a chat, earlier today, with an unhappy teenager. I lick my chops at such an opportunity. I’m hoping that sharing some of what I’ve learned somewhat later (okay a bunch later) in life will give them a chance to really enjoy themselves earlier than I learned to enjoy my life. She made a [...]
