What are you practicing?
We are always practicing something. Got this idea from Susan Scott author of Fierce Leadership. Walking daily is a practice. So is watching TV. Getting up early is a practice.

Why is Change so Difficult?
Old habits die hard – the saying goes – but why is that? We’ve been told that it takes 21 days to change a habit. This I believe came from Maxwell Maltz. Originally a Plastic Surgeon, Maltz noticed that it took 21 days for amputees to cease feeling phantom sensations in the amputated limb. From…
