How do you define success? Are you successful when you achieve your goals you set out in life? Or do you feel successful even when you haven’t achieved them all, but are working towards them and feel good in life? The truth is, for each one of us we have a different definition of success. There are even people out there who believe that they are never truly 100% successful in life – that it is a constant procession towards success that makes them who they are.

“Play to your strengths.” How many times have you heard that one? How many times have you heard it, and within one day had to do something you knew was not a strength of yours, because you felt you had no choice?
I’ve been frightened in my life. We all have. But you know the most frightening thing I ever did?
It was giving up my job as a financial trader, working eighty to a hundred hours a week.
If we find ourselves angry and resentful, it’s important to acknowledge that our anger hurts only ourselves, and we’ve inadvertently given other people the power to make us angry and resentful.
We correspond frequently, but we’re often rushed, preoccupied, and unable to give our full attention. If you feel overwhelmed and distracted in today’s world, take comfort.
We’ve heard time and again that attitude is everything.
In a world that’s becoming less black-and-white every day, one seemingly littered with contradictions, can it be true that there’s one simple answer to the question of how to improve our lives?
I think not! There’s more to life than attitude.
If you’ve tried recently, or even not so recently, to “get organized” and “manage your time,” you’ve probably noticed that it just isn’t that easy. You feel like you’re getting more done, and done faster, but you’re not feeling any better. You’re just working harder and faster, without seeing any real change in your life, at least not any positive change.
I suggest that what you need is not just to come up with a way to organize your life and time, but a way to slow down.
What? Isn’t this all about getting more done, and getting it done faster?
Personal development and self-improvement help can be found easily on the Net. But where can you find it in your local community?
We should think of ourselves, care for ourselves, and take what we need, if it is ours to take.
I continue to ask myself one question in order to maintain that simplicity: “What are we grateful for and when should we be grateful?”
As a small business owner, this is also the perfect time of year to make a list of resolutions of things you can do to help grow your business in the coming year. Think of it as reinforcing your business plan -– or in some cases, rewriting your business plan to take advantage of new opportunities.
The Pareto Principle, or 80/20 rule, or the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity, states that 80% of the effects (results) come from 20% of the causes (effort).
Let’s throw out the Pareto Principle formula and focus our time on doing what’s truly important.

I think that as a culture we tend to try too hard to avoid sadness at all costs, and I think that’s a very serious mistake. I have seen people bury parents and then bury all the feelings associated with the death, all the feelings of loss, all the grief. This is not a good thing. Sure, we can get right back to work. Sure, we don’t hurt.
