What Are You Willing to Risk?
Have you ever planned something – visualized exactly how it was going to unfold and then experience something totally beyond your control? That’s how it was for me when I met Arnold Best. We were meeting at half past one at Rituals in St. Ann’s. I got there about quarter after to settle myself and…

Do you ever feel insecure? What about unworthy? And rejected? Are you easily hurt if your’e not included in a conversation…left out of a project…didn’t get an invite to the party?

Beautiful Strategy…But Are You Getting the Results You Want?

What Have You Done Right Today?
I recently started reading “The Thin Book 2” by Jeane Eddy Westin. The title of the book is misleading because although its focus is weight loss – I have found life-wide application. The entry for January 8th reads: Don’t ask yourself the Wrong Questions. I’ve heard Tony Robbins say it like this – Ask a…
