We are not wired…

To remember pain…But we are wired to remember happiness. Here’s the deal…When we think back to a time when we had pain, we cannot recreate the feeling, only remember the event. Whereas when we think back to a times of happiness, we not only remember the event, but we can recreate the feelings as well…. Read more »

Fired Up?

You bet! I’ve been talking to a lot of people lately and their vocabulary has been changing. From last years defensive talk of putting their helmets on and attempting to fend off the blows that the recession have been dolling out, to “enough is enough” and switching their mindsets, to that of going on the… Read more »

Happiness and Health?

You bet – Happiness has a big deal with your overall health! Being unhappy or sad, go hand in hand with some pretty unhealthy habits, such as over eating, laying around all day, smoking, drinking or doing drugs. And even without some of the unhealthy habits, depressed people have an increased chance of getting diabetes… Read more »

Don’t betray your DNA…

Your ancestors, most likely, have struggled and worked hard for you to be where you are today. So why not take the torch and keep the light shining bright, by taking YOUR life to the “Next Level”. –          Dr. Vik, The Culture King

Having a challenge…

Slowing down? Maybe we just need to change our focus a bit. The world keeps on going around and around, so it’s up to us to find the places where we can take a break from it all and “get whole”. What most consider a waste of time, could be our perfect haven. Lines, airports,… Read more »

Do we need to…

Jed Clampett of The Beverly Hillbillies, who inadvertently struck oil in his Ozark swamp land, was approached by Milburn Drysdale who let him know that he could move to Beverly Hills to have all the best. Instead of living in a “shack”, Drysdale said “You could… Read more »

A great quote…

That we can all use to help us and others is from Aristotle: “Never discourage someone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow”. It’s good for us to know when dealing with others and even better to remember for ourselves. I have met with a lot of folks that have been discouraged in their… Read more »

A good friend…

Of mine in college, used to find money on the ground, wherever we went. Sounds weird, I know, but amazingly he would find $5, $10 and $20 bills just lying on the ground…while I never found anything. He told me his secret: “When I walk, I always look around on the ground, because that’s where… Read more »
