The average person spends over 12 hours a week, watching, listening and reading news. Most of the time that news is focused on negative events that occur during that day. It ranges from crime, to war to financial issues, etc. Most people say they watch news to “be informed” yet when that is tested against reality, it [...]
It’s all about the weather?
So today in northern NJ there will be about 10 inches of snow when last week it was 49 degrees. As I say so what (SNOWWHAT). Do you let everything from the weather to that crazy driver on your commute affect you? I am not a big fan of snow as it causes major transit [...]
How much control do we really have?
All the time you thought you were in control. The big problem is we have less control and more of our life is based on faith. Now the question is, what do you have faith in? Is it faith in others, is it faith in ourselves or is it faith that comes from something much [...]
Perspective
This image was right outside my door yet until I took time and viewed it from a different perspective, I almost missed it. How many times are there amazing things right in front of you and you can’t see them. It is all about perspective. Are you ready for a change in yours?
Stop being who you are not
Are you really what your boss says you are? If they said you were only worth 2% more (or in some cases less) than last year, do you believe that you are? Of course you don’t. If you lose your job or don’t get a raise does that mean you lose your identity? I hope [...]
Limits–define and change them
And you are limited? Why? I see more people put limits on their passion, income, relationships, and ultimately- life. They tell me “I can’t make money doing that” or “I am too young/old for that” or “I have never done it, so I can’t.” I then show them a “receptive perspective” and that starts [...]
Money is (NOT) everything!
As kids, most of us are taught that “when you get older you will need to earn a living.” Well, as a kid that sounded good enough. You go to a job and you get paid. When you get paid, you have money to spend and then you can buy things that you like. But [...]
Accountability or backslide?
Some things should not be done alone. When you are looking to accomplish a significant task and keep on track for the long haul, you need accountability. This is not a backslapping buddy but a person who has a vested interest in your future and well-being. Surprisingly, it may not be your best friend, or [...]
Perception becomes reality
It is amazing how may times we embrace perception as our reality. My favorite example is when you see a person with a job or family that looks like it is just perfect, and you find out that they have more problems than you do. Your perception was based on what you saw, yet it [...]
Living life with intention (part 2)
Part 1 was posted Fri. January 30
Look at today as 24 hours to either use with intention or misuse and squander. I know we can work at our jobs, duties, and requirements of life with intention. It would be where you purposefully and deliberately put forth effort that would produce fruitful results. Even if we [...]
