The Key to Finding Hope
Dec 19, 200700:02:53Tap to summarizeThis was a busy day. I’m sure you understand. So when I received two emails each from Amnesty International and the International Rescue Committee imploring me to contact my senators and urge them to support sending UN peacekeeping forces to Darfur, rather than call I felt annoyed, put out, guilted.
Transcribe →Strengthening Your Self-Esteem
Dec 19, 200700:03:26Tap to summarizeHow can I strengthen my so low self-esteem? In my book I talk about The Big Lie, which is the mistaken belief that we are unworthy. As long as we believe this lie, we will behave accordingly, encouraging others to also believe this lie. You can increase your self-esteem. The only thing in the way is a belief that you don’t deserve to.
Transcribe →It’s a B_tch Being Conscious
Dec 19, 200700:04:31Tap to summarizeDo you ever feel that it takes more work, more out of you emotionally, to live a conscious life than it did to live less-than-consciously? So why do we do it? Why do we keep working on ourselves when it takes so much effort, when we’d sometimes rather be zoned out, pour a cold one, light up a joint or cigarette, or grab the remote?
Transcribe →The Value of Friendship
Dec 19, 200700:07:19Tap to summarizeAlthough most people don’t consider themselves isolated or friendless, 1/4 of Americans say they don’t have even a single close friend. This is a change from just 20 years ago when only 10 percent reported having no close friendships. How does technology affect our friendships and even our ability to know how to be a good friend?
Transcribe →Helping New Orleans Recover
Dec 19, 200700:14:48Tap to summarizeThis is one of those times that I wish I were a poet, even just a decent one, because New Orleans deserves to be described with more powerful imagery than I can offer. I knew that New Orleans was special. What I didn’t know was that it would steal my heart.
Transcribe →Clarity on Your Life Purpose
Dec 19, 200700:03:30Tap to summarizeWhat if you don’t know what your life purpose is? If you feel overwhelmed by figuring out your life’s purpose, you may be thinking too grandiosely, causing you to feel paralyzed by your dreams rather than motivated by them. Write down a few small steps toward one of your goals and make a commitment to take one of these steps.
Transcribe →Rekindling Your Passion for Your Work and Your Life
Dec 19, 200700:11:30Tap to summarizeI wake up every weekday morning dreading the upcoming day. I’ve got a good job and a loving family and should feel grateful. What’s wrong with me? If this is how you feel most mornings, wishing you had a different life, you are suffering from burnout. Burnout is the result of enduring for too long and is debilitating to your spirit. The good news is that it’s curable.
Transcribe →What Really Prevents You from an Extraordinary Life
Dec 19, 200700:03:02Tap to summarizeI am in love with a woman but she doesn’t love me. This prevents me from having an extraordinary life. If you believe that someone else prevents you from leading a more extraordinary life, you are giving away your power, which will only fuel a belief that you are a victim. It is never someone else who stops us from manifesting our deepest truths and longings.
Transcribe →Some Thoughts on Gratitude
Dec 19, 200792:46:40Tap to summarizeI received a wonderful email recently from a teacher of underprivileged teens who has no books and must rely on the Internet for materials. He wrote to thank me for offering my grammar and punctuation rules for free on my other web site, www.grammarbook.com. This email was a lovely reminder that our wealth is not just our money or what we do; it is our knowledge, our wisdom, our compassion, and our love.
Transcribe →The Difference Between Thriving and Just Enduring
Dec 19, 200700:04:19Tap to summarizeWhat do you mean by endurance and what’s wrong with it? I always thought enduring was a good thing. Here are four immediate ways to get out of your prison of endurance and to make each day forward a remarkable one.
