| Article Title :: Four Reasons to Set Group Goals Collaboratively |
| |

While we may instinctively know that we should include people in the creation of goals they will be working to achieve, too often the press of time and the lure of expediency leaves leaders setting the goals, and simply sharing them with those charged with achieving them.
The Four Reasons
There are four significant reasons why we need to get others involved in creating of the groupÂ’s goals. Any one of these are reason enough to create a conversation about the goals rather than creati (read full article) |

| Article Title :: DonÂ’t Pull Up The Seeds When YouÂ’ve Just Sown Them |
| |
| Why is it that 95% of people who set themselves goals fail to reach them? In one word: impatience.
The most important and difficult stage of goal-building is the immediate stage after you set your goals. In the first stage, thereÂ’s a brief blip of euphoria. But this soon passes and then you hit the arid plateau of learning. ItÂ’s in this phase that most people lose their way and give up.

| Article Title :: Transform Your Life |
| |
| What's the best way to make a difference in the quality of your life. The answer lies not with one-time actions, which offer temporary results, but with embracing the concept of long-term pattern. Any discipline (playing a sport, learning a new language, utilizing a meditation) becomes a tool for growth when it's performed daily. Starting out, hitting plateaus, sticking with it and pushing send on--these steps all lead toward personal transformation.
Nobody understands the benefits of praxis better than George Leonard, co-author of The Life We Are Given. Leonard, along with Esalen Institute co-founder Michael Murphy, developed Integral Transformative Practice, a pioneering progr (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Power of a Dream |
| |
| I recently spoke to a Youth Leadership Group, and I was deeply inspired listening to the
dreams that the teenagers had for the future. While I was presenting, I felt the group of
teenagers begin to realize that it is ok to dream and be proud of what you have done in
your life and where you want to go in life.
As adults, we need to realize that the power of a dream will enable you to achieve whatever
your ultimate "WHY" in life is. By the age 25, most people lose all of their dreams and fall
into a rut. From the age 25-65, people generally go back and forth to work and say to
themselves," I wish...if only I could have...if only I knew the (read full article) |

| Article Title :: A Sense of Responsibility |
| |
| "I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul." - William Henley (1849-1903)
Our lives are only as good as we decide to make them. We should make short and long range plans and then follow them through, reviewing them as we go. It is our design and determination that decide our destiny, and this is our responsibility. When things are not right we should blame nobody, for that only dodges the problems that are our own and that we must fix ourselves. Let's examine our own actions and decide how things will be.
"Be not angry that you cannot make others as you wish them to be, since you cannot make yourself as you wish to be." - Thomas Kempis (1380-1471) (read full article) |
