Self Improvement & Motivation

Changing Your Thoughts

I have found myself in the mood this week to browse personal development and self improvement blogs and I found this one that I love! It is called Changing Your Thoughts, a subject which I am extremely interested in of late. Changing your thoughts can change your life, because we create our reality with our [...]


The Secret of Life

I am always searching, call me a seeker, for ways to improve my mind, my spirit and my quality of life. In that journey I have found a blog I really like called The Secret of Life. Loaded with goodies to help motivate and inspire, this blog also has some wonderful links in the sidebar [...]


How Can You Change Your Life?

I have been talking a lot lately about getting healthy, both physically and mentally, and I found this great three part series at the blog The Thoughts, on how to change your life. I really like the information here and wanted to share it with you. What is so great about it is that the [...]


On Getting Healthy

As I sit here smoking a cigarette, after waking up this morning coughing my lungs up–something I said would never happen to me–I am thinking how badly I need to quit smoking. But that’s far from all I have on my mind as far as getting healthy. Of course, quitting smoking is HUGE, but I [...]


A Great Post on Perfection

I found this really great post at Cultivating Greatness on how perfection can slow you down. I must admit that I am a perfectionist and I agree with so much that was said in this post. When you want to do everything perfect you often never attempt something at all! Or that has been the [...]

That’s how fascinating people and their motivations are to me, figuring out what makes them tick. But alas, life intruded and I never got to follow [...]


The Best Business Book I Ever Read

Five Steps to a Successful Job Interview

I hope this doesn’t sound like bragging, but in 35 years I can’t remember NOT landing a job I really wanted. I feel that qualifies me to offer you advice on landing the job that YOU really want.
