“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 thing! [Read more…] about Why Giving Up Can Be a Good Thing
I wish I could show you, when you are lonely or in darkness, the Astonishing Light of your own Being. ~Hafiz
It turns out there is after all a name for that irrational, incessant and intrusive behavior which we so precisely insert between ourselves and success. It doesn’t take a psychology degree to recognize this mental obstacle. It is called self-sabotage and it is a beast. If you say you have never met with this beast, I will guess you must then be on top of your game and at the peak of your life because it is unimaginable what we can achieve without self-sabotage.

“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.

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