I met some very interesting people, heard great speakers, and had a chance to share ideas and brainstorm. I also had a chance to climb a waterfall and experience a foreign marketplace. When I got back home, I was on a creative high like no other. My mind was racing with ideas, and I couldn’t wait to get started on some new projects. Then reality hit. I went back to work to find problems. I bent over to tie my shoe and threw out my back. Unexpected expenses on a variety of things came up one after the other I went to fill up my car and gas had gone up over 4 dollars a gallon. A Variety of depressing and painful things. Things we all face. But why does the pendulum have to swing from positi...

They certainly don’t represent anything just a little different or just a little better. They all represented radical change — they operated, sounded and looked completely different than anything that came before them. Their creators didn’t settle for incremental change — slow, steady improvement — but instead radically changed the rules. It wasn’t about doing a few things better. It was about throwing out what was considered “normal” and doing something ridiculously different. The good news is that if you feel stagnant or need to see massive improvement in some area of your life, then you, too, can use radical change to dramati...

Believe it or not, the movie saved my life. It could save yours too, but only if you keep reading. The love of my life, my horse Payday, physically broke me more than once in 2006, with one accident so severe it left me nearly paralyzed. Though we’d taken Ohio by storm the prior year, placing third in the state with a rookie rider and a horse that was new to the area, most people would’ve sold him without a second thought. I still thank him every single day. My divorce made 2006 one of the darkest years of my life. Riding Payday fueled the illusion that I was happy.  If he hadn’t broken me physically, I would’ve no doubt lost what was left of me emotionally. I’m reduced to tears every time I think of Payday’s emotional burden as he grounded me an ...

It’s not sadness, or failure or fear… its complacency. It’s becoming so comfortable with just being comfortable that we stop trying to make things better. We stop even trying to make things different. We go on and on, satisfied with being good enough, and we don’t realize that nothing is really all that good until we wake up one day and find ourselves miserable. Sometime before we reach that point, there are chances, windows that can be thrown open to let in some fresh air and sunlight. Changing your life doesn’t always mean turning your entire world upside down, sometimes it’s just about getting a new perspective on yourself, or the world around you. Change your body We spend our entire lives in t...

I loved the 1981 version as a kid and was keen to see the new movie. Perseus’ quest to defeat the kraken, save Andromeda and fulfill his destiny is the archetype of everyone’s life. We are all on a journey and, like Perseus, we encounter plenty obstacles along the way. Many of them seem strange and frightening, and we can be tempted to give up in the face of what appear to be overwhelming odds. But many of the terrors we encounter along the way are just phantoms – they disappear as soon as we stand up to them. When we face them down, they dissolve like a dream upon waking. Our real enemy, however, is much more dangerous. It is the dream we creat...

With my top ten tips for feeling utterly miserable at work, you’ll soon be walking around with a permanent frown and a head full of misery! Focus on problems, especially ones that you can’t control This is the most important skill to master. If you can crack this one then all the rest will be easy. Here we go. You should always look for problems in every situation. When one problem appears to have been solved, which does occasionally happen for some reason, look for others.

For the most part, I’ve used Starbucks planners for my organizing my disorganized (and still...
