Over a couple of recent posts we looked at happiness based on the premise that — whether consciously or not — it is a person’s main motivation. However, it can only be attained by acting in accordance with one’s values. We then defined happiness as being the mental feeling of well-being. We also saw that…
In a recent post, we explored happiness as being a person’s main motivation. And, that it can only be attained by acting in accordance with one’s values. I then posed a few questions and received some excellent responses. I’d like to restate the questions here, and answer them per my own understanding. 1. How do…
Two things I’ve learned about success in just over 56 years as a resident of this planet: It leaves clues. And… It doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Success tends to occur as the result of very specific, predictable, principle-based reasons. So, when I got to meet one of my real-life action heroes, MaryEllen Tribby in…

In the final sentence of one of her recent daily emails, Esther Hicks wrote: “You are determined to be freedom-seekers in a Mass Consciousness society that is determined to make you the same.” What a powerful statement, and on so many levels! In the context of her entire message, she was referring to internal freedom.…
Recently on Facebook and Twitter I posted the following: “How far can you push a rope? Not very far. That’s why true influencers don’t push.” A reader asked, “But if you think about how hard and how often to “pull” when are you being strategic and when merely manipulative?” I thank him for caring enough…
The brilliant, Dr. Stephen Hawking said: “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.” Profound. One person commented that — in their opinion — the two are the same. My friend, Alice Flanders explained the difference: “One person is ignorant, they do not know. the other person thinks they…
Jedi Knight, prosperity authority and critical thinker, Randy Gage tweeted: “The next time your core beliefs are challenged — try being curious instead of furious.” This one golden nugget can make an absolutely huge difference in your personal effectiveness.
