The first time…

We quit, is the hardest…and then it gets easier over time. Good to know, if you have a pattern of quitting or are considering quitting something that you shouldn’t be quitting. You can either resist quitting, or change the pattern that gets easier…as your life gets harder. It’s really our choice. Yours in “Suck it… Read more »

“My low self esteem…

Is at an all time high”. Ever think that way? Well, it’s better than being at an all time low. But in either case, it shows that our self esteem is “range bound”. To break out of our self esteem “range”, we need to think more like everyone else does…about us. “Most people think more… Read more »

It’s interesting…

How some folks turn out the same as their parents, and some don’t. I know of one “parent” that never keeps his word, rarely works and is a poor role model for his kids. One of his kids is pretty much the same, and defends his “deal” as having a poor upbringing and a bad role… Read more »

What’s you’re Plan?

Writing, posting or displaying affirmations will be a great reminder on what your plan is. What helped me long ago, when I used to eat until I was stuffed was “Just like the ships that go out to sea, I push my plate away from me”. Yeah, corny, but it worked. Other examples are: “I… Read more »

There is only one color red…

But a world of different shades. The same goes with the people in our lives – they may be limited in number, and we see them as one “color”, but what are the different “shades” that make them up? What are their dreams? What’s their favorite movie or book and why? If they could do… Read more »

Looking at our challenges from an outside perspective, or another’s viewpoint, always helps us out with clarity…looking from the “outside” and the solution is… Read more »

We all know…

The folks in our lives, where a discussion tends to end up in a disagreement…when we have an opposing opinion. We often forget and disagree with that person, which virtually always ends up in a “spat”. We don’t have that challenge with others – so we must remember that the challenge is part of “their… Read more »

Average?

We all have a blank…

Check for new construction in our lives. It just all depends on what we how much we want to spend, and what we want to spend it on. By looking at our lives, it becomes pretty clear what we have been spending, and how much. Yours in “Making Investments” – Coach

What happened?

I was “Fresh” this morning? Yes, straight out of bed and into the shower, clean clothes and your battery fully charged to meet the day with considerable relish! Then as the day goes on, things start to drag a bit, and at bedtime, you are fully shot? Just the way things go. It would be… Read more »
