The value of friendships
That is top of mind for me because one of my best friends is coming to visit in a few hours, and I know we’ll have a blast.
What is it about friendships that is so great?
Great conversations; an easy sense of belonging without having to try so hard; mutual self-discovery after many years; being liked [...]
Entropy and what that means to your life
Entropy is a law of thermodynamic physics and I’ll spare you its formula and exact scientific definition.
A “lay person’s” definition, according to “thefreedictionary.com” is:
“The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity”, or “The inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society”
Ok, so…how is that relevant [...]
Getting out of overwhelm: 6 suggestions
We get into overwhelm when we feel there is too much to do and too little time.
That’s pretty obvious. What’s less obvious is what to do about it.
Most of us feel like there is little we can realistically do in our current circumstances.
We’ll get relief only when those change; when our sales reach a certain [...]
Getting high with weeds (This post is not what you think)
Ok, I admit it’s a cheap headline, but I couldn’t resist.
What this post is really about is how being present and aware dramatically changes the quality of our life.
And the kind of weeds I’m referring to is…garlic mustard (a plant that’s not native to this region and is very pretty but destroys the habitat if [...]
Why do we do things that we know are bad for us?
Like overeating, or smoking, or too much TV, overspending, etc. etc.
Now some of those are real addictions and my intention in this post is not to talk about the causes and remedies for addictions. For one thing, I couldn’t even graze the surface of the subject.
Let’s talk about things we do that we [...]
The main block to creativity
Creativity is essential to entrepreneurial success nowadays. We need to know how to adapt to the fast pace of change; to find ways of standing out amongst the crowd of business communications, free educational offerings, teleseminars, etc.
One of main things that will block our creativity is fear (or any other negative emotion). Why is that?
For [...]
Success at making changes: Start with the big rocks
You might have seen this demonstration in a seminar; I still get a kick out of it every time:
There is a jar full of sand and various-sized rocks. Your task if to figure out how to put several larger rocks in the jar without throwing away its content.
The larger rocks represent your latest important projects
The [...]
Personal growth: is it an indulgence in difficult times?
After all, we have to first tend to the basics: earning a living or keeping the business afloat.
Doesn’t Maslow’s hierarchy of needs tell us that survival has to be met first, personal growth being only the icing on the cake when everything else is looked after?
Let’s say for the sake of this argument, that we [...]
The time war
Do you know anyone who doesn’t feel like time is shorter than ever? Even those of us who escaped the rat race are juggling priorities.
A whole industry’s been built around time management, and even though it gives quite valid advice, it never really seems to help. We delegate, prioritize, eliminate…and before you know it, we’re [...]
Electronic Leash
I was traveling for most of May, partly for business and partly for pleasure, and the month flew by. I had decided that writing blog posts was not my highest priority; looking after individuals’ needs was as well as taking a break.
But I felt like a slacker for not posting, which of course is ridiculous. [...]
