How Do I Get Published? This is a question my clients who are new and aspiring writers always ask me.

Success Really Does Come In Cans Success Really Does Come in CansI wish I’d coined the phrase, “Success comes in Cans.” Its accuracy was on my mind as I spent time with two people in Can’t Mode. One of them was open to reframing thoughts and statements; the other was not.One is currently in a funk and has been paying rent to live in Funkville for a couple of years. Ask him what he wants to do and he’ll tell you. Ask him what he...... Similar Editorial : Your Success by Frank Schmidt. | Source : Successful Presentation
Push Or Pull? In four days, I’ve watched “The Secret” four times, though definitely not my first viewing. I mentioned this to a friend who responded, “I heard the secret is never actually revealed.” I think the reason some people feel the secret isn’t blatant has to do with the fact our brains don’t respond to the word “don’t.” Years back, I heard if a child usually slams the door, it won’t work to say, “Don’t......

At Least Open A Window! Mid-January, I posted an article, “Success Really Does Come in Cans,” where I mentioned conversations with two individuals. One was a Can’t-Do person; the other was a Can-Do type.I haven’t heard from the former, but I heard from the latter. She called to say she was utterly confused and desperate to find a job. She’d once had a dream job that disappeared when someone bought the franchise and put......

The Factor Of One I watched a PBS series titled, “Road Trip,” where the narrator took his parents (married 60 years at filming time) around the States in an RV. This documentary’s attraction was its reassurance that in spite of certain differences, we have more in common than not with our fellow man.Sometimes when we watch such a couple, we focus on the surface of what we witness. In this instance, the wife was...... Source : Define Time Management
Positive Thinking -- Does It Really Work? I received an e-newsletter with a comment from a highly successful individual arguing that positive thinking doesn’t work and why. He also claimed that when he expresses this opinion, some people get their knickers in a knot, especially those who’ve spent decades reading the books and attending seminars and, he added, without any significant change in their lives. Here are some other points he...... Similar Editorial : Create a Positive by JoAnna Brandi. | Source : Personal Time Management
What Do You Think About Opinions? Bill Bullard said, “Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge…is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.”Our society seems to admire highly opinionated people. People with strong opinions, stated with energy, come across as dynamic and knowledgeable. In a world where...... Source : Personal Time Management
Are You An Innie Or An Outie? During a conversation with someone who wishes to move out of a lifetime of negative behaviors and beliefs, I realized as she spoke, that what it takes for her to feel better is for something outside of herself to improve or indicate a circumstance is getting better. Anyone even minimally familiar with the Law of Attraction is either shaking or nodding their head in understanding as they read this...... Source : Personal Time Management
Are You Traveling Or On A Journey? “Bill, you asked me if I was just traveling or if I was on a journey. Aren’t they the same thing?” “Not at all, A. J. Not at all.” “And the difference would be...” “When people are just travelin, they start out with the notion they’re gonna end up someplace by a certain time. They get together what they think they’ll need and head out. They stop for fuel if they...... Similar Editorial : Frodos Journey by Dr. Rachna D. Jain. | Source : Time Management How To
Law Of Attraction: Do You Feel The Vibes? You can identify what you desire to expand into your life through the back door: “Well, what I don’t want is . . .” (which will only create more of what you don’t want) or, you can walk through the grand entrance. Fact: The human brain omits the word “don’t”. So does the quantum field (our larger brain). “Don’t slam the door,” is heard by a human brain as “Slam the door.” “Don’t let me lack” is......
