161. Food for Thought By Vivian Gordon
     We all love picnics. They represent a fun time as we prepare the food, the entertainment and the guest list. I think that the main idea behind picnics is the eating! Everyone usually brings some kind of a special treat that we all like to sample and sometimes in excess. We are left feeling overly full and tired. Forget the volley ball for a while and it's not good to go swimming after eating, so let's just lay here for awhile and rest. O…



162. Personal Philosophy is Like The Set of The Sail By Jim Rohn
     We have all experienced the blowing winds of disappointment, despair and heartbreak. Why, then, would each of us, in our own individual ship of life, all beginning at the same point, with the same intended destination in mind, arrive at such different places at the end of the journey? Have we not all been blown by the winds of circumstances and buffeted by the turbulent storms of discontent?What guides us to different destinations in life is de…



163. Believe In Yourself And Become a Winner: Lessons from Hollywood By Priya Shah
     Copyright 2004 Priya Shah A while ago I made it a point to watch the movie "Legally Blonde." Not just for the bright, chirpy and eminently watchable Reese Witherspoon, but also because I loved the message it sent out. If you didn't see the movie, all you need to know is that it's about a smart, fashion-conscious blonde who's told time and again, by her family and friends, that it'simpossible for someone like her to go to Harvard law school…



164. Random Thoughts on Living Your Best Life By Jeff Herring
     More things I've noticed along the way:* Our son's birthday is Sept. 11. As we put him to bed on that terrible day, he said,"Daddy, I hate it that I'll always remember this day as the day they flew airplanes into buildings!" My response was "Well, we'll always remember this day as your seventh birthday."A few days later, as it became clear that the terrorist attacks were going to be referred to as "Sept. 11," he started lobbying to change the d…



165. Coming To Your Senses, Again and Again! By Barbara Becker Holstein
     When we talk about the Enchanted Self we are referring to positive states of mind and body that are unique to each of us. We are also referring to the process by which we tap into our Enchanted Self. (The name I have given to this delightful, happy, elevated part of us that knows how to have fun, feel alive and be joyful.) One step in the process is learning how to heighten and how to return to positive states of mind and body. Our memories…

169. Life is Art By Jim Rohn
     In my years teaching people to be successful, I have seen that basically people break their lives down in to two major parts: Wealth-building and the rest of their lives. Having done a lot of reflection on these two topics - wealth and life - I am coming to some new conclusions about how to perceive the two.Until recently I thought that there was a significant difference in how we should tackle the two areas. In fact, I thought that the two top…



170. Trusting Yourself and Others By Yasmeen Abdur-Rahman
     How come, as women, we always second-guess ourselves? Are we not confident to choose a mate that has the characteristics of what we yearn for or start and operate a business that we have a passion for? Who can you trust?For most of my teenage and adult years, I’d sit in front of my computer going over a wish-list of things to accomplish before growing old. Unfortunately, others tried to degrade my dreams, dissolve my opinions, and demean my com…



171. Don't Wait For Your Wake-up Call By Hans Bool
     What has been your wake-up call? Why do improvements no longer help you? And what should you do to change?Business activities are always subject to improvements. There is always something that could be done better. This is a process that can easily be managed. You can plan them as if they where day to day activities. It is a linear process where you can determine the result by some kind of extrapolation of the past. Improvements are best manage…

     Fear is deeply rooted in uncertainty. Think about it; the only you’ve ever feared was the unknown. All fear and fears humans have experienced and continue to experience is rooted in uncertainty. A drive in an unfamiliar place can prompt fear, an unknown result, a stranger behind you, or a dark alley.Any life uncertainty can fuel human fear. Sometimes we even use references to light when talking about knowledge (“he is so bright”). Knowledge tak…

That is the voice that is in you, whom you may also call GOD.Think logically, if you have heard of the voice of that inner soul in you, who indeed is the never-lying, never-forsaking GOD, then is it JUST NOT possible that you are devoid of even a spark of that Divine…

179. My Passion, My Life By Catherine Franz
     Every morning I excitedly get out of bed.  Just a few minutes of goals and visions for the day swirl in my head. No lingering for me, no alarm, no wishful notes too.  Just me in my night gown with no hat. I sit down to enter my dreams and what can notes.  In my journal entries that began long ago with a tiny book and its lock and key.  I used to dwell on all the icky things back then but now I write God with my cheers and glees instead. I rem…
