The problem is not with working too much. It never has been! The problem is in the type of work that you do and how you feel about it. It is in the people you work for or with. It is in the nature of the actual work. It is in the measure of purpose [...]

I have been in Australia for a week now, a beautiful unforgettable week here in Melbourne, a lovely laid-back city that has everything you could need plus an easy, happiness-inducing feeling about it. Yesterday, we drove to see the 12 Apostles. The pictures in this post are from the scene of these stunning rock formations [...]
After 8 months of a strictly vegan diet, one day, I decided it was no longer for me. Here’s the story behind that decision. When I was growing up, I could put eating in two category: you either ate regular foods or you ate diet meals. When we moved to the US, I discovered the [...]
The pursuit of massive wealth can be a wonderful thing, but it is the most beautiful of all when pursued with meaningful work on your own terms. A little over six months ago, I embraced uncertainty like a long-lost friend and walked out of my corporate “career” of some 12 odd years because I could [...]
Have you ever wondered what would happen if your limitations and imperfections, your worries and anxieties, or your doubts and fears, neither mattered nor materialized as you so desperately persist that they do? Just what if …
“I am under the law of my own consciousness.” ~ Louise Hay Never, ever give up. That was my motto, my goal, my life’s work and accomplishment summarized in one phrase. Never giving up. So praise-worthy. So upright. So noble. And so dead wrong at times because sometimes giving up can be a really good [...]
Tell me, where do you go for corporate career advice when you need it? Whom do you trust to tell you the truth about how things run behind the corporate walls? In the early years of my 12 year corporate career, I went down a lot of dark alleys; I came up to a lot [...]
There Is No Reason To Do What You Hate There is no reason for you in 2011 to be doing anything that you hate. No reason good enough, no explanation worthy enough that you will want to whisper back to yourself after the sun has set on your youth, your beauty, and your opportunities as [...]
Going against the tide is no easy task but alas, it is much, MUCH, better than going with the flow the wrong way. How does your ideal day unfold? Actually, forget that. How does your ideal life unfold? What color is it? What texture does it have? What fragrant smells and what delicious tastes does [...]
The most wonderful relationships can run their course; the greatest love affairs can go sour; the sweetest friendships can meet a bitter end and even the most invincible people may leave each other through death or divorce but I never saw a day that I would fall out of love with a company that was [...]
My, what a big bold claim! Easy and radical in one little phrase? There should be nothing easy about radical. A radical change should require extremely hard work and sweat and only those prepared for such a grueling path should even consider it. And going vegan is not only radical, it is anything but easy [...]
Twice now I have heard this feedback – one from an email subscriber who shared it sadly as a reason for leaving my mailing list and another from my devoted client during our 1:1 coaching sessions: “Feeling overwhelmed with self-improvement and personal development.” Oh I can more than relate to these feelings; personal development bloggers [...]
Big life-changing decisions should come about after agonizingly long hours of thinking and plotting, analyzing and scrutinizing, predicting and planning. People should not make decisions that change the course of their life in one day or one hour or one minute. No, not smart and savvy people like you and me and certainly not the [...]
How inconvenient that it takes extreme sickness, the onset of depression and the depth of frustration to make us wake up to the reality of the situations in our lives! How annoying that it takes a mountain of stress to make us realize the harm we are doing to our bodies and the poison we [...]
Anaïs Nin may have thought a thousand thoughts when she uttered these gorgeous words: “The day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” To me, she meant having the courage to know yourself well and to live life being exactly who you [...]
