Have you ever felt like you were stuck in life by some unknown force, and no matter how much you try… you’re still stuck? Well, I have. Truth is, the most challenging events in our lives are those inner battles that we fight against our own selves.
I realized the hard way that if I wanted to be successful in all areas of my life… I had to do a deep self-examination, instead of wasting my time on negative actions, negative thinking and the pain of negative results. Read more....

Do you feel inadequate? Are your actions impulsive and as a result, you make bad decisions? Have limiting beliefs, procrastination, opinions of others and just plain old fear, kept you from breaking through to success? For the most part, many of us are plagued by an array of ideas, thoughts and conditioning that no longer serve us.
My coach once told me that as you go through life and look back on the events of your life, you will see that you’ve been in a race against yourself. You are in a race to figure out how to stop being a victim of circumstance and finally start a conscious creating or living of your life as oppose to life happening by default. Read more....

Why do so many people make excuses about there life and do nothing to change it? Has complaining and blaming changed your life for the better? Do you continue to ask yourself, why am I still in the same dead end job, in the same financial situation, at the same time, every year?
With so many distractions and different point of views on how you should look, think, and act, one could easily become confused. Think about the different sources of ideas that bombard your mind like TV, radio, media, your parents, social conditioning, teachers, and preachers. Read more....

The Big Shift
Every aspect of my life has changed over the past dozen years. Way back in early 2000 I recall looking out the window of my corner office at the global advertising conglomerate where I worked. I had recently been promoted to Executive Vice President and received a whopping pay raise. Outside my office sat my beautiful assistant. On the surface, life seemed great, but something was gnawing at me inside, telling me that this was not my path. I listened and asked the Universe to do what was necessary to set me on the right trail for this life. As they say, be careful of what you ask for. Read more....

Have you ever met someone and knew instantly, that you connected with that person? Have you ever met someone and instantly knew that you should head in the other direction? Without saying a word, you got this vibe or energy from the other person and you just knew something, one way of the other. What is this unexplained force of nature?
These are called non verbal signs, communication or vibration. Here’s another example. Imagine walking down the street while approaching a gate or fence. The hair on the back of your neck stands up and before you even hear or see it, you sense a ferocious dog behind the fence. Read more....

ESCAPING FROM THE “I’M STUCK MUCK”
WHEN YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH OF THE DRAMA
Think of an interaction with another person that didn’t go well. Did you feel powerless or helpless? Did all options feel unattractive? If so, you may have been stuck in one of three roles: the Bad Guy, the Victim, or the Rescuer. Imagine a triangle. In one corner lurks the Bad Guy (the Perpetrator). In another corner cowers the Victim, and in the third, the Rescuer is poised to spring into action. In the middle of the triangle hover Guilt and Blame. Now notice how you felt and what mind chatter you were listening to. Whoa, don’t bolt! Keep noticing. Noticing gives you distance which gives you power to get out of the drama triangle that has so captured your attention. Read more....
