Discover the habits holding you back and attract success
Bad habits. We’ve all got’em. Things that keep us from our best selves, sabotage our success, or just keep us lazing on the couch when we could be doing something more interesting and fun. Teacher and author Judith Wright calls them Soft Addictions. Psychotherapist Terry Real labels them as misery stabilizers. For me, these are the little [...]
Five ways to power up persistence
Ready to make positive changes in the New Year? Here are some tips to help you stay on target. This post originally appeared in 2011. Perseverance. Determination. Persistence. Any quality that keeps you going despite adversity and challenge is the difference between success and mediocrity. It’s also crucial when it comes to living our biggest [...]
How to make resolutions you can keep
Tired of feeling like a failure every time you set (and break) your New Year’s resolution? Statistics tell us that most of people give up on their resolutions within a couple of months. But, you can stop ripping yourself over failed resolutions, and make positive lasting changes in 2013 by thinking of your resolutions a [...]
What to do after the dream comes true
When I wake up tomorrow morning and wander through the still-quiet (please, please still be quiet) house, in the plaid red flannel pajamas, with the tiny claw holes on the shoulder where the cat likes to drape – everything will look the same, but it will all be different.

Take Inspired Action and Get Excited
I write a lot about moving forward and taking inspired action toward the things that matter most. These are the things that you’re passionate about, the things that fuel and inspire you and in the process inspire the rest of us.

How to release expectations and accomplish more
We can become so caught up in our expectations – the plan we set for our life – that we miss living this life altogether. When we expect things to go a particular way, we are fast forwarding from beginning to end without experiencing the good stuff, yes and the tough stuff, in between. This [...]
How expectations limit our lives
It was a great weekend. Family and friends. Fun activities, good food – and not at all what I expected. For awhile then, instead of soaking up all the good things that did occur, all the surprises and opportunities – I lamented what didn’t happen. There was never any plan. No agenda, but still I [...]
Times flies when you’re going after the right goal
I went out for a quick dinner with my girlfriends before the sun set. I arrived home three hours later, in darkness. Boy, did that go fast. It’s easy to feel like your life is on fast forward, especially when you’re having fun and now researchers know why. When we are in what the Bigwigs [...]
How to choose goals you can achieve
When I was growing up, all I wanted was to write for the state’s largest newspaper. I dreamed about it. And, after studying journalism in college, I did it. I accomplished that dream. But, when I ultimately reached that goal any success I felt mingled with disappointment. It was like discovering the wizard behind the [...]
Pick the right goal to insure success
Ever felt like a fly in the window? You keep flying against the pane, smacking your head into the glass simply trying to get out, break free, get unstuck? One of the most frustrating and stressful things we can experience is our inability to achieve our goal. Yet often, we often set up ourselves up [...]
