Who Has The Greatest Job In The World?
by: Rev. James L. Snyder
I have, in my opinion, the world's perfect job. Just look at the evidence. I love people and I love God. I love talking to people about God and I love talking to God about people.
Therefore, if you put these two together, I am doing what I love doing: the greatest job in the world.
I must confess, however, this was not always the case. When I wore a younger man's suit, I had different ideas about what would be the greatest job in the world for me.
Nowhere on that short list did being a pastor appear. God, sometimes, displays a marvelous sense of humor in selecting people for his service. I am the supreme example.

Full Disclosure

Direct Answers - Column for the week of April 21, 2003
I hope you can talk me out of this bad feeling. I watched the Michael Jackson program where he was talking about how he was treated by his father. I had hushed the bad memories to the back of my head, but this program brought them flooding back.
I was brought up in Ireland with a mother and father. All I remember of my childhood was my mother beating me for nothing. I was beaten three or four times a week with a hurley stick, but she was so nice to everyone no one would have believed the terror we lived in.
I had to get my brothers and sisters out to school while she stayed in bed. If (read full article) |

Don’t Know What You Want in Life? Play a Game
by: Kate Hufstetler
Have you ever said any of the following:
My life is boring.
I’m tired of this.
There has to be more to life than this.
Whether you are finally breaking free of the past or just getting a kick start into your future… in order to move beyond complacency you need to know what you want in & out of life. The problem? Most people don’t know what they want. In fact many of my life coaching clients say they are so busy or so stuck that they don’t even know where to begin figuring out where they want to go & what they want for their lives. That is why people seek coaching. But what about you?

No Regrets
by: Laurie Hayes
It's never too late to pursue a dream and in the words of one of my favorite authors, Wayne Dyer, "Don't die with your music still in you." If you have a dream, pursue it, and don’t let anyone or anything get in your way. The only thing that will truly stop you IS you.
MY FOUR-MINUTE DANCING CAREER
A few years ago, I decided to pursue my dream of being a dancer. I was 37 years old and being a dancer was on my list of things to do before I die, so I thought I'd better get cracking before osteoporosis or some other age-related malady took hold of my body.
My goal was not to become a Vegas showgirl or to star in the next Flash Dance, but to learn how to (read full article) |

A New Conversation About Dreams - Integrity: The Key to Getting What You Want
by: Marcia Wieder, America’s Dream Coach®
The most critical attribute for realizing our dreams is integrity. In a conversation about dreams, integrity is essential and can be summarized this way: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Honor your word and agreements and you will be living with integrity, where dreams really do come true.
Simple, yes, but not always easy. Vastly overscheduled, often the person it’s most difficult to keep our commitments with, is yourself. As you practice upholding your values, you are given opportunities to show up or to sell out. When you are challenged, do you lose s (read full article) |

Everybody Wins!
by: Debbie O'Meara
In his book "Prosperity", Charles Fillmore writes:
We all grew up playing games. In every game, there was a winner and a loser. For me to win, someone else (or lots of someone elses) had to lose. And it didn't stop when we left the playground. Did your teachers grade on a curve? Then every top grade had to be balanced out with a low one. How about getting that job, that promotion? There was a winner, and everyone else lost. Is it any wonder that we look at life as a zero-sum game, that every win comes at someone's expense?
When it comes to getting a given job, perhaps that's so. But Prosperity teaches us that that isn't the entire story. There is ab (read full article) |

Are You Making a Sacrifice?
by: Debbie O'Meara
When I was a university student, an ice cream-loving friend of mine gave up ice cream for Lent. It became a joke among all of us as we watched him suffer through keeping his promise, and almost a party when we brought him three gallons of butter pecan just after midnight Easter morning! We often talk about Lent as a time of sacrifice. Of the sacrifice Christ made for us. And the sacrifices we should make.
The idea of “sacrifice” isn’t a pretty one—it’s a painful one! But it implies temporary pain for future gain. In our study of creating greater abundance, what do we have to sacrifice? We have to give up our old ways of thinkin (read full article) |

The Thriver's Secrets to Success™: It Starts With Your Attitude - Get a Grip and Go®!
by: Gail H. Stone
What impact would it have on your professional and personal life if you could learn the secret of successful living known by about 25% of the people? Think about that for a minute and even pause right now and write some thoughts down. How would your life be different if you operated like a "thriver" - a person who thrives and flourishes no matter what life throws at him or her?
In Webster's II New Riverside Dictionary, the definition of thrive is: "(v) (1) to be healthy or do well: flourish. (2) to be successful: prosper." In the field of positive psychology, thriving is defined (read full article) |

Coping with Grief - It's Called Living Through It

"Dad, I tried to wake Nana, I think she's dead."
"Grandpa died yesterday."
"Oh my God, Daddy's dead."
"Uncle Jack died today."
"Grandma died last night."
"I'm standing with the body of your deceased father-in-law."
"Hon, I think we should get a divorce."
"I'm sorry, but we weren't able to resuscitate your mother."
"Mike called. He thinks Mary is dead."
"I'm sorry to leave this on your voice mail, but Uncle Andy died last night."
This litany of phone calls and conversations on death or parting has all occurred in the past 30 years of my life, most in the last 20. Whether I was the one deliveri (read full article) |

Open Your Eyes People
by: Ieuan Dolby
People, people, people! Dear average ordinary citizens of this world. Open your eyes and look around, can’t you see that we are destroying the planet under our feet and thus ultimately all life who live on it.
I used to have one black spot that clouded my mind and ability to think clearly. It was about what existed at the end of our galaxy. Sort of what comes next, is there another galaxy and if so what is after that one? Now I have two blind spots, this new one being: how can life on earth continue to exist when all we do is destroy and pollute?
