In coming up with a Top 3, I faced a daunting task. If it were possible, we would make you all winners.
Let’s be very clear here, if your response isn’t in the top 3, you should know that just about everyone of them was a tie, and the ones chosen as winners had some points for a different way of saying things that others also said, or had Read More...

Some 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...
Not 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 Read More...
Until recently, I’ve spent much of my life occupying my time with small projects and a list of things to do that has kept me constantly busy. This process has become second nature and I’m quite good at playing the game of being organized and on top of things. Having this list provides a regular sense of accomplishment – crossing off items makes me feel I am making progress.
At the same time, this list also keeps a certain level of stress revving in the background; never quite accomplishing everything because I have so much to do and am so busy. I’m working from sun up to sun down. It can’t be helped. The real problem is these activities are just a big facade – a mask of busyness, Read More...
Every single day, and I mean literally everyday, there are some decisions that you have to make. Actually, we are all required to make them regardless of our professional position in life. I am going to discuss two of these decisions from a list of seven that I have discovered. When we make these decisions, we have to choose either/or. There is no third option to pick from and there is no such thing as not deciding. Here are two of the decisions that I am talking about.
A Professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the Professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The Professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up Read More...

Do you ever judge people? I know for me, there have been many times when I have judged my clients for not buying, my contact for blowing off my call, my colleagues for doing something I didn’t agree with, my spouse for not doing something I wanted, my kids for throwing their food, myself for many things…I have found that it’s not very helpful.
How about you? I get frustrated and negative. And you know what? Sometimes those things that upset or frustrated me were blessings in disguise. This brings me back to the old Chinese proverb about the farmer:
An old farmer had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the Read More...
