For many of us, young people in particular, there is pressure to do what society, parents or peers tell us to do – go to university, become a doctor, or work for the government. But if these options are not in our heart, we must resist the pressure from outside, look within and carve out […]
Millions of people continue to apply for something that is increasingly rare — a full time job. The U.S. government estimates that 35 per cent of all workers are currently independent contractors or freelancers. This number is expected to hit an astounding 50 per cent within the next ten years. But, there is no security in being […]
There is increasing proof that the mind is more powerful than we realize. We can think our way to financial success, rewarding relationships, and even good health. Medical researchers now say that in many cases, a placebo – a pill with nothing in it, has greater benefit than actual drugs. If told that the placebo […]
Many of us lead lives of underlying frustration. The reason for this: we have a growing list of things we need to do, but because we don’t particularly enjoy doing them, they never get scratched off our to-do list. The crawl space in my house is now so cluttered, I am sure there are creatures […]
I spoke this week with a friend who told me they won’t be reaching out to certain people this holiday season. I asked why. The response: “Because I have not heard from these people in a long time. Why should I have to be the one to reach out?” The games people play. There seems […]
It struck me as odd. I knew a married couple for years when one day, the man left his wife. The woman said to me, “My life is ruined now.” She had given him the power to make or break her. So often in life, we give others power over us. A spouse is given […]
Joseph Murphy is not a household name. But what he had to say about the way our mind works has the power to change your life literally overnight. Murphy, who died in 1981, was an ordained priest, pharmacist and writer, armed with a PhD in psychology who believed that our entire life – including our […]
This can be a very busy time of year for many of us. Our “busyness” can discourage us and make us yearn for a simpler time. We tell others how busy we are and lament our “misfortune” at having too much to do. Yet, when we closely examine most of our “to do” items, we […]
Have you ever noticed that many people you hear from each day want something from you? They want your money. They want you to listen to them. They want, they want and they want. Often times, people will pretend to be your friend, when in fact, an ulterior motive is at play. You realize […]
My accountant (of all people) keeps telling me to live life to the fullest because, “you never know what disasters tomorrow will bring.” Tim practices what he preaches – travelling, going out to events, and meeting as many people as he can. He also forces others to adopt his philosophy, inviting them along for the […]
