3 Questions to Bring You Out of Your Darkness

by

How to Deal with Personal Attacks

It’s funny how I still get a little upset and a wee bit defensive when I get blog comments like this last one on How to Stop Wasting Life in a Dead-end Job:

An awakening?
An epiphany?
A shock?
All the above?

You see, somewhere in our energy-infused intense conversation, self-confidence found its sneaky way in. Or wait, was it lack of self-confidence? Yes, I do believe that it was the lack of self-confidence. [Read more…] about Bring Your Self-Confidence to the Show

A Memo On Encouragement: From This Day Forward

by

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.”
~ Oriah

I saw these words a few minutes after finding out that Forbes published a story around my recent decision to ditch the corporate life. Impeccable timing. I finally do know what I ache for and you can bet your bottom dollar that I fully intend on meeting this heart’s longing.

What about you?
What do you ache for?

Please tell me you have not given up asking that question. [Read more…] about A Memo On Encouragement: From This Day Forward
