“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.
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.

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?
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.
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.
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?
I was. That is until I devised my own plan.
Design your very own personal development plan.

Sometimes in life you just have to give up. That may seem like a pretty absurd statement from a professional coach and lifestyle mentor, but I think it’s the most important advice I ever got, and the most important thing I can share with a client who’s facing something that is just not humanly possible.

When we talk about “comfort zones” in self-help, we’re not talking about the temperatures between 67 and 75, or wherever the comfort zone on your thermostat lies. But that comfort zone is a good starting place, actually.
We all deal with change, well or poorly, every day. The challenge for most of is not so much that we have change to deal with, but how well we manage it. Managing change well means less stress, less work, and more time to feel content, joyful, and fulfilled.
Very few things are simple, and the more we try to simplify our thinking into this/that, black/white, good/bad, the worse we’re going to make our lives, because life just isn’t like that. We’re not like that, no one is like that, and no one ever will be.
