Why It’s Important to Make Your Idea Real
by: Tony Papajohn
Say you have an idea for something new and exciting in your life.
This may be something as simple as a new arrangement for the garden or as far-reaching as a career change.
You get the idea and decide you will do it.
Take a moment to use the power of your imagination to get a crystal clear vision of what you want.
What will the new issue look like? What will it sound like? If you could touch it, what would it feel like?
And how would you feel engaging it in completed form?
If you were watching a documentary of your idea becoming a realty, what might you see? What might you hear? What might you feel while you were (read full article) |

Attitude In Business
by: William C. Wilson Sr.
Is your attitude pulling you down? Are you an optimist, glass half full, or a pessimist, glass half empty?
We have all experienced ups and downs in life. How we deal with them is what is important. How do you handle them? Do you say this business is not going to work? If so, you’re letting your attitude get in the way! When we set our minds to the negative side, we are bound for failure.
Think about the most successful person you know! Ask yourself this, how did that person become successful. Was it because they took every failure and said, “I quit, this will never work.” Of course not, they analyzed what went wrong, learned fro (read full article) |

Great Things Materialize Once We Start to Visualize
by: Greg Reid
Watching the Olympics last week really amazed me. The feats of strength were fantastic, and the drama of the events themselves was captivating. But what really made the biggest impact was being reminded of something we all know or have learned in the past, and yet rarely put into action for ourselves: the art of visualization.
Now, I’m not talking about some deep Buddhist trance. I’m talking more along the lines of visualizing in our minds the actions we wish to take, the things we’d like to have, or even the personal relationships we desire in clear detail, before they actually appear.
It simply dumbfounded me (read full article) |

F-E-A-R in the Job Search!
by: Marilyn J. Tellez, M.A.
Fear in starting a job search is a four letter word! Like any other four letter word, the word itself can create more fear, and some- times self-loathing!
Look at the fear when it applies to a job search.
Fear of others.
Fear of change.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of being seen as inadequate.
Fear of taking action, (procrastination in disguise).
By looking at the fears expressed, they revolve around failure. It is not failure in the person looking for a job, it is failure to take action. Looking carefully at number 5, it is easy to understand that a lack of action is the root cause of most failures in the job search.

Let me quote something you wrote. "When you reach the boundary between like and love, you know you are entering a different country. You are beyond newness and infatuation. You know what Shakespeare meant when he called love 'an ever-fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken.'"
On one level, I agree with what you say. But I believe very few of us find what you describe. We end up settling when we reach a point at which we realize it is either that or being alone.
I, for one, have never felt what you describe and recently have come to terms that I will not. I am 50, outgoing, (read full article) |

Bamboozled
by: Denni Gill
Here’s the scenario: Julie, a hardworking secretary, lent money to her good friend Ray; $1300 to be exact. Ray had just moved to a new town and claimed that he needed two new suits: one for an upcoming wedding and one to wear on job interviews. Ray lived in a beautiful penthouse. He had a degree in Computer Science and was accustomed to the finer things in life – designer labels, frequent travel, and spa week-ends. When Ray told Julie he would repay her and signed a paper promising to do so, Julie didn’t think anything of it.
A couple of weeks later, Ray tried to hit Julie up for more money; this time to furnish his new home. When she told him th (read full article) |

A Quick Checklist for Improving Your Life
by: Gene Simmons
1. Learn About You
If you don’t know who you are and why you think and act the way you do, it’s gonna be really difficult to make any positive changes in your life. Take a look first at your parents and close family members. Think about how they look and how they deal with life. This is the basis for who you are today. You’ve been instilled with the tendency to think as they think and act as they act. It’s just the way it is.
Now think about the big events in your life so far. The ones that stand out in your mind. The ones that made an impression – negative or positive – on you. These events have likely (read full article) |

R-E-S-P-E-C-T: 25 Ways To Show It
by: Laurie Weiss, Ph.D.
Convicted criminals report that their violent behavior was caused by perceived disrespect.*
Everyone wants to be treated with respect, but respect means different things to different people. It also means different things in different cultures, so treating others with respect often becomes a serious problem. If you want to avoid offending someone by being disrespectful, you must think about both what they need and how you act.
Respect sometimes means
Look at me¬make eye contact!
Don’t look at me.
Listen attentively when I speak
Respond to what I mean instead of to what I say. That often means respond to my emotion (read full article) |

LIFE'S PURPOSE
by: Onaefe Umenu Edebi
To every life, there is a purpose; a purpose of will and a purpose of choice. A choice to make the right or wrong decisions and the will to act on the choices made.
There is no life that exists that is without a purpose, for everyone exists for something or someone. It may be one single act to which one is born; maybe an act of five minutes. Not so long compared to a life time you would say. But most people live their whole life without having lived-without having lived their purpose.
To many, life is a cycle-a routine, it does not end but goes on as birth to youth, youth to adulthood, then to old age and death, which would normally come after on (read full article) |

Direct Answers - Column for the week of October 21, 2002
I am a stay-at-home mom, 24, married to my husband, 26, for six years. He has a problem chatting with young girls online.
I have "caught" him numerous times, and it's always the same thing. He's sorry and says it's only a game to him, but he continues to do it. He works with a high school program and knows these girls in real life. I've recorded his conversations, and they are very disturbing.
He likes the attention, and for some reason teenage girls are attracted to him, never mind he's 10 years older and married with children. Recently I read a conversation in which he told a girl (read full article) |
