As much as I want you to stand up and be counted, I also want you to have the energy and the confidence to keep moving forward. In that spirit, I created two f_ree ebooks to lift you up and give you some courage. One is for Managers and Business Owners who are trying to motivate their employees during this economic insanity. The second is for everyone trying to find their way out of this mess. They are simple PDF files, about a dozen pages long. Easy to download and easy to view over and over. You will find them here.

Pay attention while you are out and about getting ready for the Holidays. Humans make for interesting entertainment.
I am at the Post office. Lines are long as Arizona residents struggle with the notion of 75º afternoons and Christmas only two weeks away. Here is a mother with twins, trying to juggle packages and frisky, beautiful […]

Black Friday - the day retailers hope will put their books “in the Black” - ie - make them profitable. The problem? The nonstop media coverage of impending disaster clashes with the consumer-driven ads this time of year. The result? A sense of Hopelessness and Helplessness. Heaviness of heart.
Whether you are a retailer, a […]

I’m watching the results of this economic hiccup with great interest. I notice there are two types of people - those who are ‘waiting to see what happens’ and those who are making things happen.
Which one are you?
At this juncture, I doubt that one human on the planet can predict accurately what comes next. So […]

My friend Peggy from Hawaii reminded me to pick up Viktor Frankl’s book, “Man’s Search for Meaning,” at exactly the right time. We all have times of regret in our lives. Times where we wonder why we went somewhere, made that choice, got involved with someone.
As I re-read the amazing story of Viktor Frankl’s experiences […]

The news tugs at the side of my consciousness. I watch it from time to time, but have decided not to let it rule my day. I think it was Mark Victor Hansen who once described the news as “The same bad stuff happening to different people every day.” I’m keeping up on things, but […]

Go hug somebody. Remember who you are. Remember you only get about 80 trips around the sun, if you’re lucky — and don’t sweat the small stuff. Enjoy today. Even the difficult and boring parts. At least you are here to deal with it.

Perhaps the most important lesson was the one driven home by Russell Conwell - in your longing for things, look around. You may already have what you need.

In case you missed it, today the large group of Native Americans who have been crossing the US on two different paths will converge in Washington, DC. They’ve been marching for 5 months. Interesting and moving Video about it on YouTube.

Actually, I could title this, “The Real Secret to Life UN-happiness just as easily. In tracking my progress over the decades, it’s easy to see the ups and downs. Much like standing on a mountain and looking back over the path you’ve walked to get there. The downs are just as pronounced as the ups. […]
