You see, some time ago, while reflecting on the regrets hat I had accumulated over my forty-some years on this earth, I decided that uppermost in my mind was the fact that I hadn’t always made the time, and put forth the effort, to articulate to people in my life the things I want them to hear and know. This meant that my life, to me, was incomplete.
Take a few moments to pause and relax this holiday season.
When I think of the old paradigm – my old, ill-conceived, self-taught definition of success (that success means money, wealth, status, and power) – I am reminded of an old parable that goes something like this:
Who is the Successful Man?
One day a wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country so that the son could see how the poor lived. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
I had a great conversation last night with Kristen Hallows on her internet radio show: Job You Deserve Radio.
If you’re addicted to adventure, challenge, and achievement, or even if you aren’t, you’ll love my article published at The American Chronicle.
New Year’s Reolutions: many of us make them, and many of us fail to complete them?
Why is this? What can we do to enhance our chances of affecting the change we desire?
Are you having trouble weeding the increidble pile of self-help information out there?

Would it surprise you to know that Charles Schultz, the creator of the extremely successful and enduring Peanuts cartoon, battled many of the same disenchantments and struggled with self-confidence as did his comic-strip characters? He did.

I’m always bothered when I hear people focusing on what went wrong in their lives, day after day after day. These people are suffering from a chronic bad day, and I hate this for them, because it is absolutely unnecessary. It’s not raining five feet away, but they’re carrying their own clouds around everywhere they go.
