I don’t know how many articles I read on the subject of happiness last week, but, if I had to venture a guess, I’d say it was 30 or 40. The way I’d sum up the articles is, “The good news about happiness is that it seems to be a skill we can acquire and develop.”
The bad news is that most of us are not as happy as we could be.
Emotional maturity is not something that is automatically given to someone when they turn 18. Emotional maturity is something that we must develop in our lives by knowing how to respond to situations in a mature and responsible manner.
by David Bohl “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” This proverb, made famous in the 1980 horror film The Shining, is
Is a complete life simply one where you’re achieving your goals and achieving things?
There’s more to it than that.
So what is the big deal about music? You’ve no doubt heard music has “powers to soothe the savage beast.” Music can soothe us, too.
I have never been able to understand those people who always want to shirk the blame for a situation and claim it is someone else’s fault. Sure, it gets them “out of trouble,” but for myself, if I’m going to have a problem, I would rather that I was the cause of the problem.
That may sound pretty stupid on my part. I’d rather be the one at fault than have someone else be to blame? You’re probably wondering if I also carry around a baseball bat and offer people five dollars to hit me over the head with it.
Sometimes, when we’re overloaded with work or dealing with a difficult client or otherwise in an uncomfortable situation, we can get really stressed thinking about the consequences we might face, and how horrible they would be.
We can often times envision the end of the world as we know it.
Many people who appear successful and together on the outside feel dissatisfied and disillusioned on the inside. This is because even though our life and careers are humming along at a breakneck speed, we frequently have no idea what direction we’re traveling in – or for that matter, why we ever agreed to go along for the ride.
It’s easy to say we want to lead a life free of stress and anxiety, but achieving it is something altogether different. In our modern world it seems that stress and anxiety are part of everyday life. How Do We Find Serenity amidst all the chaos? Find out how in my article.
These days, it seems everyone has a blog, and if you don’t have one, you’re supposed to. It’s “good business,” “great self-promotion.” Many people have blogs just because they think it’s the smart thing to do to build their business, and for no other reason.
In my very humble opinion, these people are missing a lot. I love blogging, and I think it has some very real benefits, not only for the readers of the blog, which we’d hope for, but also for the blogger
A few weeks ago I wrote about the importance of planning and keeping your New Year’s resolutions. Now that we are a few weeks into
Most of live our whole lives, to some extent, in this half-waking, half-conscious way. More…We know what we’re doing, but we don’t think about it. We don’t stop to consider whether this is the right job for us, whether this friend is dragging us down, whether we need to spend more time on what we really love and enjoy.
by David B. Bohl It’s become a joke to wonder “what’s my motivation?” like an actor, when we have something in front of us to
What do we mean when we say someone needs to show maturity – and even more so, are we mature in our own lives?
Have you ever heard someone say, “You’re not hearing me?” They’re not accusing you of not listening. Presumably you are not only listening but responding to what they’re saying. The accusation is that you are not adequately processing and understanding those words and the emotions and situations underlying them.
A nationwide survey sheds some light as to what people think will help them achieve their business goals in 2008. What made the top of the list? Achieving a work-life balance!
This should come to no surprise to many of you reading this. It seems we are all working longer hours and spending more time trying to keep up with technology rather than using it to help us achieve productivity gains. We’ve become victims of our own success; often times forgetting about those people we share a house with — our family.
There is some truth behind the saying trust your gut instinct. Sometimes our gut instincts can be wrong but I do believe there is something
