Many of us have maxed out our Visas on books with titles like “Finding your Passion” or “Following your Dreams.” All well and good if you actually possess Read More...

business-successNot many things feel as good as experiencing the perfect day.  You know the feeling, when everything seems to just go right.  I know some of you reading this are thinking… “How about the perfect hour” that would be a good start.

The thing about the perfect day that is important to understand is that they don’t happen by accident.  Many times it seems like an accident, but in reality there are a couple of things that happen when everything just seems to go right.

For starters, the perfect day almost always has at least one, if not several moments that are highly anticipated.  That could be a show you’ve been waiting to see, a meeting with a close friend, a dinner at a special Read More...

Who is the REAL Boss of Your Company?

Filed under: Cultivating Passion and Significance, Leadership — Tags: , , — Roger Seip @ 7:10 am

Roger SeipA while ago I read a book called Managing by Values, which I highly recommend. It’s a pretty short little book, and the main lesson in it can be applied to an organization or to an individual.

This lesson involves who (or in this case what) is leading or guiding your business life? In other words, who is the boss?

Most companies and individuals view the “corporate hierarchy” like this:

Shareholders
CEO
Managers
Workers

And that’s how it works in Read More...

Lessons You can Learn from a Dog to Live a Fulfilling Life

happy-dogHere is a short story from a veterinarian on the purpose of a dog’s life he learned from a six-year-old. After the story, there are 16 life lessons that will lead to a fulfilling life – enjoy!

******************
Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish wolfhound named Belker. The dog’s owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, we are all very much attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn’t do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe Read More...

Believe it or Not – Everyone is Creative

Filed under: Cultivating Passion and Significance — Tags: , , , — Guest Blogger @ 6:00 am

David DenisSome of you reading this have just tuned out. A voice played in your mind saying, “I’m not creative…this doesn’t apply to me.” Let me just say that that is total complete and utter nonsense. Or, in more basic terms, a load of crap.

Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is creative. This means you. I say this with complete and absolute certainty because, although I know very little about you, I am confident that you are in fact, human. To be human is to be creative. It is what we do.

Have you ever solved a problem? Have you ever set a goal and achieved it? Have you ever gotten lost and then gotten unlost? Have you ever fixed something that was broken? Have you ever written a poem? A letter? A note? Have Read More...
