Many of us that…

Are Super Optimistic…need to get hit in the head a little harder than ones who are not. When we are not too optimistic, we can get hit or just bumped a bit by an obstacle and we change course, as we expect things not to go too smoothly and we are trained to changed direction… Read more »

Need a little pick me up?…

We all do from time to time. Thoughts precede emotion, but we can always work up some emotion to spark our thoughts. This is what we do in our family: We slap your hands and then rub them together like we are going to start a fire, or we rub our hands together and then… Read more »

Water, Water Everywhere…

And some of us don’t drink? Keeping your insides in “tiptop” shape and your body cleansing as well, needs water to function as it should. Your kidney’s are pumps – have you ever run a pump dry? Your lymph system removes toxins from your blood and works best if the fluid flows like water and… Read more »

If we woke up every day…

And knew it could be our last…what would we do differently? Would we be more excited? Would we want to do more? Would we treat the ones close to us, with more love? Would we be more thankful and grateful? Only we can answer these questions when we wake up every day, but it is… Read more »

Every Journey…

Has to start somewhere. Whether the journey it is a camping trip, expedition, or our life. Planning our journey, for whatever we have chosen, starts with us, and has no bearing of where we were before, in the past, with the exception of experience and what we have already learned which can help to guide… Read more »

We grew up coloring…

And the colors are what also helped our brain to develop…and remember in color. Try it yourself. Look at a page with only black text for 10 seconds, and then close your eyes and visualize the page and not much of what you looked at will “pop out”. Then take a page with different color… Read more »

One of our greatest attributes…

Is our Ambition. With it, we can drive our lives forward…and without it, we stay in neutral. We all have it, just some of us aren’t using it as much as we should be. It’s OK, ambition can be stunted by adversity, and if that’s the case, we simply need to ease into our ambition… Read more »

Allegiance…

Is described as a loyalty or devotion. From allegiance comes our allies…those who help us and “have our back”. Focusing on those who help us and dismissing those who are attempting to do the opposite, is a key in focusing our attention on that which will move us forward. – Dr. Vik, The Culture King
