If you’re having one of those days (and we all know what one of those days feels like), why not change it? Come on, be silly — act goofy. I don’t care how serious of a person you are, but I want you to do something silly to make yourself laugh, and dwell on it. Now, to save embarrassment, you can do this where people are not around you - even if you have to lock yourself in the bathroom for awhile.

Start making funny faces, start acting like a little child. Sure, people might think you’re crazy if they DID see you, but it’s OK, so be outrageous.

In fact, look at the mirror and say “I am the best-looking person in the whole world.” Say this ten times and you will begin to feel much better. In fact, start singing a funny little Disney song like one from The Little Mermaid, Snow White or one of my favorites, Pete’s Dragon. You’d be surprised how much this lifts your day.

One thing that is hard to tolerate is being around someone who has a negative attitude and constantly complains. Once they start complaining, other people around them begin complaining as well. It’s like a horrible flu virus that starts with one person and spreads quickly to others.
There is a cure for this particular virus and [...]

The fact of the matter is that we’re here today, but tomorrow is not guaranteed. Have you ever thought about what the world will say about you after you leave? Yes, life will go on for everyone else, but why not leave your friends and family with a lasting impression — a legacy for which [...]

It’s hard enough reaching for your dreams when your friends or acquaintances continue to say something negative about them and discourage you from doing so. But what do you do if the negative person whispering in your ear is a family member?

Whether you live in the city or you live in the country, it’s easy to get caught up in our everyday lives. We are always on the go and rarely take the time to sit back for a few minutes. Have you ever taken 10 minutes or so to watch nature? Have you ever watched [...]

Finding your Passion in life!  Connecting to your Power in life!  Clarifying your Purpose in life!  Without these 3 key ingredients, life will be just getting up day after day and doing all over again what you did all the yesterdays before.

In life, everyone experiences a bad day. Some days are good, some days are bad. But why not transform a bad day into a good one?
The truth is, whether we think a day is good or bad, a lot depends on how we think of it. The pivotal thought here is that we [...]

A friend of mine just recently shared with me the story of John. John was a highly successful business maverick who was contemplating suicide. John had everything materially. He literally owned a mansion, jet-setted around the globe, ate at the finest restaurants and stayed at the ultimate 5-star hotels. Yet John’s life was miserable.
