The world is changing and we can move with the change along with it.  The key thing we need to do is take responsibility.  No more blaming, judging, condemning.

 If you are concerned about the gangs in your neighborhood, the governments use of your money, your financial situation, the homeless, the sick, the dying or world hunger...stop thinking and start doing.

The movie needs to start filming, ACTION! 

The next time you catch yourself blaming someone or judging someone’s decision or shaki...

I picked up the book, "Happier Than God", by Neale Donald Walsch at the library last week. This book is about the secrets of being happy. It is one of those books that can be read in one day if you wanted.  Don't let the "God" word turn you off from reading it.

One immediate take away I got from this book has to do with wanting. There might be one or two things you want to happen in your life such as a new job, more money, losing weight, a good life for your children etc.

I attended a local Chamber of Commerce luncheon today.  The keynote speaker did a talk on how to have memorable conversations. She did an exercise with the group that was quite powerful. 

She asked everyone to get up and meet six people.  We were all asked to introduce ourselves and ask a simple question, "what is good?". 

I was very impressed with the energy shift in the room after doing this exercise. Everyone really opened up and were enjoying themselves.

The presenter pointed out that too...

I read this book that my brother, Bryan, gave me for Christmas one year. The book is called "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" by Robert M. Pirsig. It is an interesting book. It has two story lines that are interconnected.

One storyline is about a father and son who are touring across the United States on a motorcycle. The other storyline details a philosophical perspective on the word "quality" and the difficulty with defining it. Quality is referred to in the book as shapeless, for...

I had a cold last week and it got me thinking.

When we are sick, we tend to change our perspective on what is important. Ultimately, we want to get healthily again.
If our cold is really bad, we will sleep more, eat better and work less.

What if the universe created the common cold to remind us of the importance to get away from all of life's distractions and see what is truly important?

1. Exercise 3 times a week.
One of the most powerful ways to clear your mind of negative thoughts and watch your self esteem skyrocket high in the sky is to get physically active.

Are you finding it hard to get motivated to go for walk, run or get to the gym?
Does it seem like too big of a task to take on based on the situation you are in?

A 10-15 minute walk a few times a week is a great start. Then you can work your way up to 3-4 times a week gradually.

You can start tracking your weekly exercis...

Winter time brings back memories for me of playing in the snow and ice skating. I loved going out in our backyard and skating on the home made ice rink my Dad would make every year.

Now my son is creating memories of his own related to winter and skating. In fact, today was his very first day on ice skates. It got me thinking about the reason for ice skating.

What if the universe invented ice skating to open our minds to a new way of looking at things?

Ice skating shows us that when in a differe...

What if the universe invented band aids to be a reminder that when we feel pain, it can be healed in time.
