Where should you focus? Where should you put your energy and effort? How do you know that this is what you should do? It all starts with the diagnosis.

Are you letting sideshows distract and discourage you from your major goals?
Think about a goal that remains elusive. From as far back as you can remember, you’ve wanted to achieve this. You read about others like you, with similar talents, earning and living your desired life and the lifestyle that came with that. When you think about this goal, this target you set for yourself, noContinue reading “Are you letting sideshows distract and discourage you from your major goals?”
What’s Your Word?
Have you ever heard about choosing one word and living with it for a year? Well some time back in November I decided to choose joy. Joy is the highest energy of all. It’s the magical sense that everything is possible; it springs from appreciating the gifts in each moment except I wasn’t doing that.Continue reading “What’s Your Word?”

Why Are We Still Failing At Customer Service?

It Takes More than Passion to Succeed
Follow your passion is bad advice. So says Cal Newport, Ph.D., a 30 something year-old and assistant Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University.

Makes sense, somewhat but it doesn’tContinue reading “It Takes More than Passion to Succeed”
Allowing the Universe to Give You What You Need
There was a time when I could sit for hours reading. I would finish a 200 plus page book in about 2 days. I felt centred, connected, in touch with the Universe. Whatever I read I understood immediately. I would underline; make notes; everything made sense. And then I developed this compulsion to constantly check toContinue reading “Allowing the Universe to Give You What You Need”

If anything comes too easily we look at it sideways with much suspicion. What’s the catch? Where’s the hidden camera? I’m being punked right nowContinue reading “Would it be Okay if Life Got Easier?”
