You discover subliminals that really work to make changes in your life. You get super excited and want to change everything about yourself… […]
How To Stop Spreading Yourself So Thin That You Never Finish Anything
A person without a goal… a mission… a single purpose in life, is like a ship without a sail. The waves push you this way and that. But you never really move closer towards any one destination. People who don’t have a clear mission and purpose in life always have trouble deciding what to do […]
What does confidence look like, to you?
We all have a different picture of confidence. What’s yours? Even if you don’t see yourself as confident, you can certainly picture someone you see as confident. Maybe a friend, or family member, or some famous person you admire… How do they stand? How do they move? How do they talk? What is it about […]
What percentage of your decisions are emotional?

I Love Saying (and Hearing) This Offensive Word
I don’t know how you feel about this word. Most people hate it. But maybe you’re okay with it. I won’t judge. I like it, too. Because I’ve learned how much power this offensive little word really packs for people who are willing to say it… …and for people who aren’t afraid to hear it, […]
Escaping The Envy/Inferiority Trap
Envy, like all emotions, isn’t really good or bad by itself. It’s how we use it that determines if it’s useful or harmful to us. And yes, there is a useful expression of envy. Usually, though, we allow envy to make us obsess over the success of others, until we end up constantly comparing ourselves […]
