I can recommend a couple of things. One, I can guarantee that no matter where you are in life, you can do better. This is what champions do. They strive for a little better every time. Use a coach if you don’t know how. Two...
I’ve heard so many times from my coach, that we have already what it takes to be successful. But we may not believe in ourselves, that’s why I see so many people just getting by in life...
Before I do anything, I am trying to answer two questions: 1 - What would I think if I was on the receiving end of my actions?..
I like looking for some wisdom everywhere I go. So today is another episode of my extraordinary mindfulness, so to speak. And this one comes out of the shower. Wait, wait, I won’t say anything bad!..
Have you ever wished you had a magic pill? For anything. For personal and financial success, for health, for fitness. I know many people who’d love to have it. I think the history of magic pill goes at least several thousands years back, whether it was a pill or a potion, or whatever...
No matter where in life we are, we have a tendency to compare ourselves to others, and put “right or wrong” labels on everything. This is quite obvious when people...
I often hear something like, “Oh, the traffic was horrible!” I can totally relate to that because I used to be that way too. But I realized that if I keep thinking about how bad it is...
Most of us are talking a lot every day. What are we saying?
Working with people, l had to train myself to filter every word coming out of me. Some of these things I learned from not so pleasant experience...
Do you ever think how you sign your name? I know in most of cases I don’t. I just sign it. How about signing it with your other hand? Ok, ok, let’s do it with your writing hand, but sign it backwards. Can you easily do it?
Sometimes people can make life changing decisions based on this 2-dimensional snapshot of what happened. They throw assumptions and they may not even bother to come closer and see, what has exactly happened there...
Freedom is not free. Somebody has to pay for it. That’s why I am saying thanks to the veterans, as well as all military...
Mindfulness is not a physical concentration, but rather an inner state of awareness. We know...
Have you ever wanted to save the World? I know I have. I still think I can. And many other people do...
Some people like cats, they just like sitting in the box. But I’ve met quite a few folks who are genuinely looking for a way out, but they only focus their attention on the closed door. They miss so many opportunities!..
I recently read a quote online, and that brought to memory a story I heard many years ago. There was a method described how to catch a monkey. Some variations talk about spider monkey, but the meaning is the same....
This is a conclusion of the week, and we’ll talk about communication. In my opinion, it’s failing in two areas: 1. In many cases we are listening to others to answer, not to understand. 2...
Sometimes I feel that our communication is going in a different wave frequency, like radio. We talk to each other, create noise, but it does not register...
I see people coming up with wrong statements, wrong assumptions, and even totally bizarre facts that they think up. If not corrected, this false information may become permanent very quick. And then, which is very sad, other people start making their conclusions and assumptions based on the previous false information...
I started this week with a story, so I have another one for you today. This time I’ll be talking about children’s fairy tale. I watched the movie many years ago, and the book was called Gelsomino in the Country of Liars. The tale was about a boy who had a magic voice...
There are people who will whine and complain about their life. But there are those who will say nothing, they just keep walking, or crawling, towards the goal. Which side are we on?..
Rules and regulations exist as guidelines for a normal day. But if somebody’s life is on the line, we may be forced to make a decision. When we have one life against just following the rules, the answer is pretty obvious. But what about making decision...
Anything’s possible. But I am following two principles: 1. Most of what we hear and read, is speculation. Nobody seems to know exact details. And I believe most of so called predictions given to us after the fact are false anyway. 2. Stop worrying about...
I think somebody is trying to point at specific numbers in whatever, climate, economy, politics, etc, just to distract us from the bigger picture. It’s like being scared of high tide...
We make assumptions that if we go by the rules everything will be OK. If you are dealing with people, I can guarantee that Merphy’s law won’t fail...
This topic is about assumptions. My driving case is just an example of how things may go wrong. We assume. The worst thing we can do is bet somebody’s life on our assumptions...
