Do you have people in your life to whom you wish you could say, “poof!” and they’d be gone – off to bother someone else? Maybe it’s because they’re perpetually antagonistic, intolerably obnoxious, always negative or insufferably nosy. Whatever the situation, you could do without them. If only you could just do what employers do from time to time – issue a pink slip, fire them.
Happiness Is Just Inside
Wouldn’t it be great if we could go to the store and buy a bottle of “100 Percent Genuine Happiness” and pour into our lives? That’s not going to happen. Neither is life the greatest ice cream cone we’ve ever had.

Scientists say, theoretically it is impossible for the bumble bee to fly. Fortunately, for the bumble bee, it has not heard about it yet. So it just keeps on flying. It keeps on living the “impossible dream.”
Impossible…What’s That?
Part 1 of 2
As a young girl, I used to dream of being a big celebrity – lights, camera, action, applause…the whole nine yards. I think just about everyone, at some point in their life, has dreamed of being, doing or having something special or really big.

Five Tips To Personal Success
Each of us describes success in different ways. Many people think of success in terms of money or other material things. Yet there are those who have all those things and still do not see themselves as successful. How about you? What does success mean to you?
Perhaps you want success but cannot quite grasp the concept of determining how you go about having it. Here are five steps to get you started toward gaining your personal success:
1. Know What You Want.
It’s important that you know what you want in order to achieve success in your life. Get as clear as you can on what you want. State your wants in terms of long-term goals. Then create a plan to reach those goals. In addition, you’ll need to create a series of short term goals which lead to achievement of the long-term goals. These are small steps along the way to meeting your ultimate or long-term goal. Brainstorm what you need to do to reach the goal and make a written plan to follow through.

Where Are You Headed?

The Unstoppable Wave of Change
Part 2 of 2
Think about your own limiting beliefs for a moment and then ask yourself for what purposes do those limiting beliefs serve you.

The Unstoppable Wave of Change
Part 1 of 2
How many times have you felt on top of it all, everything was under control, and then suddenly WHAM! You’re knocked out of balance? How often have you used a technology skill to perform a certain task over and over again until you can do it in your sleep when suddenly that same skill became completely and totally obsolete for that same task? Or, have you driven down your street and asked yourself “Where did that building come from, it was not there yesterday?
