Distracted that is. The great memorable line from the TV show Kung Fu, "Focus grasshopper" is one of the great statements of our time. Overcoming distractions and being present in the moment is one of the great challenges and skills we can possibly overcome and develop. Science shows that we are "here", focused on this moment in time no more than 10-15% of the day. ...

"How far can I go daddy"? the little boy asks. "As far as your imagination can take you" his wise father replies. As Emerson once said, "What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you". That's it really. That thing that lies inside of you is greater than any of us will ever be able to truly ...

We can get stuck in a routine. We all can. That is the basis for the creation of behaviors after all. I spend the majority of my professional time working with clients to overcome negative behaviors and creating new ones. The reality is however that there are certain aspects of life that we don't get to engage in at all due to our, well, routine. It reminds me of ...

How far can you go? Good question and one that I'm sure we all ponder often. If we say "the skies the limit" and we actually believe it then we will no doubt end up in the clouds. If however we immediately doubt the power we have to create what we long for then we begin gravely challenged before we ever get out of the ...

The truth is that we all have so much more inside of us than our mind is currently willing to allow us to believe. All the proof we need is evident from our own lives. There was a time we could not chew food or ...

I laugh sometimes when I write one of the daily perspectives and I get an e-mail back from someone asking how it was that I knew exactly what they were thinking. I normally e-mail back, "Didn't you know I'm psychic"? Truth is that after working in this field for so many years I have gotten to know the similarities of what we all go through. I ...

Finding the sweet spot of what makes us happy. That's what we are all in search of. Trying to define it while we swirl about in a world of influence can be the great challenge. Influence over choice is what can take a very simple decision and make it complicated and surreal. "Should I want this house? If so why? What will my friends think if I ...

We are all likely aware of the TV reality show that focuses the cameras on those now referred to as hoarders. Those among us who become so attached to their "stuff" that they can't get rid of anything and as a result end up buried by it. We all have the potential to get "buried" in our own stuff. For many of us "the stuff" is not necessarily ...

In a seminar today I was talking about why so many people never connect with what it is they were put here to do. To live with passion. I told the story of how children are sold a bill of goods throughout their lives. Here is the story. Every year, students are pushed through the system with little or no regard for what it is that they would like ...

We always find the time to call the client. We find the time to fix the fence. We find the time to, well do anything and everything but for what we really want to do for ourselves. Being in the business of personal and professional development puts me at risk to appear counter to what I teach. Yes, we need to stay focused on business and focused on our ...
