Today I want to talk to you about the question, the one question, the one question that is most important to ask yourself during times of crisis, challenge, or turmoil in a relationship. This question is probably the most important question you can ask yourself during the toughest times of your life. It is ‘What can I learn from this?’ Most of the times, in times of crisis, we are so hoping for a solution that we don’t look for the lessons in the situation. In situations where relationships are going bad or where you feel like they are going bad, you spend so much time reflecting on how hurt you are that you are not looking at what can be done differently or what you can learn from the situation. Personal crisis can be financial, it could be medical, it could be extended family issues, it could be a natural disaster, but all of those provide life lessons. The first thing you need to look at is your ability to...

So many individuals and families are in trouble right now. Many have lost their homes, their jobs, and their self esteem. Times seem really tough and many people are very afraid. It is in these times that you really need to know who you can count on. Many are hoping for relief. They are hoping that the government will come up with a plan and help them out of their troubles, after all that is what the government promised. Many are hoping the President of the United States will help them out in some way, that is what he promised. Those in trouble hope for help and keep looking everywhere for a hand up and out of the problems they are facing. For most the help has not come. There are times when circumstances are out of your control, however the person you need to be sure you can count on is yourself. Being self reliant is a great confidence builder. If you rely on your self and know your capablities, you will be less likely to over extend yourself financially and otherwise. If you are self reliant you will be disappointed with others less often, which makes it easier to be unconditionally accepting. Today is the day to start becoming the person you need to be – for...

To find true happiness you have to know what you want out of life. Most people think if they have wealth they will be happy. There is a reason that there is the old cliché, ‘You can’t buy happiness’, because many find after becoming wealthy that the money and the big ticket items were not what they were looking for, it was an experience they were looking for. They were looking for quality of life. What is quality of life? It is different things for different people. That is why it is so important to treat yourself well, and with respect, so you know who you are and what you value most. If you know yourself well, then quality of life is easier for you to define. Happiness is about living your definition of quality of life. Interesting, but as you gain quality of life, you will notice that having that quality becomes your true definition of...

If you are like many, your life has become about sacrifice. You feel like you are doing without because of your circumstances. You are hoping things will get better and hiding from the bill collectors. You hope and pray that one day soon something will change to help you improve your current lifestyle. What great unforseen opportunity will rescue you? The good news is that you only have to change one thing to make your life better, and that one thing is completely in your control. It is YOU! You have to change before your life will improve. You need to practice daily and sometimes, right now self dicipline. Self discipline means making the right choices right now. No fudging, no enabling excuses, no thoughts of ‘I deserve it’, it is being completely honest with yourself and training yourself to make the right choice. It means being frugal in all aspects of your life in order to be able to take advantage of the right opportunities for you. How does it work? It means not going shopping unless it is in your budget to do so, or not buying unless you planned to buy and put it into your budget. It means having a plan for the health and wellbeing of your body, and making the right choices when eating and exercising. It means simply choosing to exercise and making a plan for it. It means keeping your home well orgainzed and clutter free, and not buying stuff because you think it is cute, to stuff it in a closet or under a piece of furnature when you get...

How well do you know yourself? Your likes, style, preferences, colors, and more. Is what you like and prefer the things that make your soul dance or the things you were told you should like when you were growing up? Is that ice cream really that wonderful and delicious or do you eat it thinking it is since that was what you were told? Everything you think you love about life maybe what others told you to love, which could be why you are not as happy and satisfied with your life as you could be. It is all about taking the time to really get to know Y-O-U! How well do you take care of yourself? I am not talking about your waist line, your hair or your nails. I am talking about the whole you. This would include all that has been mentioned, your physical self based on appearance, but it would also include many things you have not considered. Is your source of income something that energizes you, brings you a sense of pride and accomplishment, or is it a daily grind? Are you waiting for an entitlement check? Are you going through the motions until the day you can retire? It could be that you need to really take a hard look at your source of income and change careers, choices, or your income producing lifestyle, to be more authentic to who you are. If anything in your life does not feel right for any reason, or for reasons unknown, you may just not know who you really are, or maybe your life isn’t as...

Are you happy, I mean truely happy? If not, now is the time to do something about it. Life is short and you only get one, right? So many of us get stuck in comfort and forget about ourselves as we try to survive the daily grind, but is that living? I mean really living? Not really, that is being the walking dead. Dead to new ideas, dead to your inner self, dead to your emotions. Today, right now, in this moment you need to change all that has become mudane about your life, if you are not happy. I think just about everyone can do a little fine tuning to make their daily life a bit more pleasurable. Just think about some of the small changes you could make that would bring a little grin to your face. It really isn’t that hard to be happy. If you think that being happy will force a sacrifice you don’t want to make, you can try something small for a bit to experiment and then decide if a sacrifice is worth it. In most cases people find that the sacrifice was not making the change sooner. Stop wasting your life! Take action today to be happy! Warmly,...
