Spring is here. The mornings are crisp. The breeze is intoxicating. The trees show off a lushness and richness that is a feast to the eyes, even if you have seen it a thousand times before.

And life is good, very good indeed, despite anything and everything that you may have going on. All it takes is you believing it to be so. A little trick of nature, a little game of the universe, a little irony for our own good. Life is Good if you just believe it to be good.

That’s just it, isn’t it? What things we believe, what thoughts we think, what stories we tell ourselves. That becomes our very reality.

Trading in Your Insecurity and Doubt for Self-Confidence: 8 Starter Tips

by

Standing Tall Trees in Christchurch

There are days that I look at myself and wonder how – just how – I summoned this unabashed, undaunted, unstoppable soaring confidence to keep me the most loyal company day and night, rain or sunshine, good or bad days.

The Power of Positive Thinking: 22 Thoughts to Change Your Life

The Power of Positive Thinking

In my lovely Iranian culture, where the power of positive thinking and inner peace hardly makes an appearance, I grew up seeing the terrible impact of this mindset around me all the time: Some people were apparently born lucky and others, well, not so lucky.

“We are each responsible for all of our experiences.”
Louise Hay

I would hear grown ups talk about how “lucky” this person is and how sadly this other person’s life turned out. How someone ended up with their own company or rich by marriage and oh how it was always about “luck”!

It was really scary to think of myself tossed into the well of life and swished around uncontrollably as I waited with baited breath to see if life spits me out as lucky or unlucky. “Oh God, please let me be the “lucky” kind.” I would beg in my childhood prayers, “I don’t like the stuff they say about the “unlucky” ones!” [Read more…] about The Power of Positive Thinking: 22 Thoughts to Change Your Life

How do you clearly send a message to the world, short of printing it on your forehead, that you are running a business as a blogger and that, as fun as it may be, you are not just in it for the fun, (unless you are of course, in which case this blog post might be handy a few months or years down the road when the idea of turning all your hard labor into a thriving business makes more sense then but no rush!)

Anyway, we all need incentives to be moved to action. Right? [Read more…] about How to Treat Your Blog Like a Business Not a Hobby
