Memorize Your Way to Success
You’ve probably heard the advice that you need to prepare your “30-second commercial” or “Elevator Speech” to introduce yourself. The idea is that you can polish your introduction and practice it so that you don’t have to think when someone asks what you do.
The Three Focal Points of Success
It can be overwhelming to start any new adventure. We’re full of energy and enthusiasm. But when we start to move on our ideas we realize that we’re not sure what to do first.
Dream Elaborately
You’ve certainly heard the advice that you should “Dream Big.” True enough, but you should also dream elaborately. In fact, you should daydream elaborately.
Everything You Know May be Wrong
Be prepared to re-think truths you have accepted. . .
It is possible that everything we know is wrong.
The Myth of Multi-Tasking
One of the big buzz words of the last ten years is “Multi-Tasking.” I’m sure you’ve heard people say they’re multi-tasking. Or perhaps you’ve prided yourself on being a multi-tasker.
An Introduction to Prayer and Meditation
There are many forms of relaxation and focus. When we say “meditation” people in the United States do not necessarily associate the word with religion. But when we use the word prayer, we do associate it with religion. And yet prayer and medication are very closely linked.
Introduction to Retreats
In the Monty Python movie The Holy Grail, King Arthur’s men do not use the terms “charge” and “retreat.” Instead they use “charge” and “Run away! Run away!” So, when I tell my wife I’m going on my annual retreat, she always says “Run away! Run away!”
Getting Started with Goal-Setting
The goals you set will determine the direction you head: They will determine your life. And not just this month or this year, but the rest of your life.
The Value of Losing
Our society—and as far as I know every other society—places value on winning. This is good. Or, perhaps as a human living in a society, I have no option but to believe that this is good.
Don’t Let God Make You Lazy
A great deal of what we need is simply a matter of taking a little time every day to think. We need to think about our lives. Do we have a plan? (Yes it will change, but any plan is better than no plan.) You can begin today.
