Self Understanding Making a sincere and honest effort to learn who we are is critical for success in every area of our lives. I don’t mean to be presumptuous, but it’s an interesting question – Do you really know who you are? I think it’s safe to say that most of us don’t. Most of us never get to the answer because it can be painful to be honest […]
So far in my lifetime, I have attempted and failed multiple times to establish successful habits. I still struggle to consistently do some things I know are good for me, but which I don’t enjoy. Exercise is one of those things…as you can read on my Facebook profile. However, I’ve been successful in the corporate world and I run an online business while still working as an employee, using these […]
The benefits of a positive mindset are obvious. When you are thinking positively – have a positive attitude – you are happier and less stressed. You have a better outlook of the future. That’s all well and good – I’m sure you already know that. But, what is sometimes easier said than done is keeping a positive mindset. Life happens. Disappointments come up. You don’t get the results you were […]
As an employee, you are likely required to spend a good part of each day performing some function that the company you work for finds valuable.

I made a decision that changed my life. It […]
I Am Very Grateful That I am Able To Do My Job From Home I am So Grateful that I have the type of job that allows me to work from home. I used to commute into downtown Pittsburgh from 42 miles away – about an hour and a half one way – partly on a bus and partly driving from home. Although I usually tried to spend that time […]
When I meet someone new, I try to learn something about them. I try to listen more than I talk. When I ask questions, I’m seeking to understand, not judge or change or convince. I’m a firm believer that everyone has something special about them. We are all part of the same human race.

How The Subconscious Mind Works As a child, your subconscious mind absorbed everything you experienced. No previous information existed to contradict anything you learned. Now, as an adult, those lessons will either propel you to success or sabotage you in your efforts to create the life you want – unless you do something to change them.
