We’re often asked to develop new skills, learn new things and expand our horizons. Is it all in an effort to be closer to “perfection” in how we live? Not so sure… However, I love this perspective…when nothing is to be taken away…we’ve achieved perfection… Perhaps…perfection, then, is an illusion. What do you think?
Bill Nye, the science guy… I’m sure with all he knows, he still learns something new most every day… When we meet someone new, they will have an experience, a perspective or an opinion that can teach us something we didn’t know before. I recently enjoyed a fabulous retreat in Sedona, AZ and though I’ve …
When you’re unsure if you have something to share, teach, give…let this quote remind you… Birds don’t care if you don’t “get” their melody, they sing anyway. And if you’ve ever heard a crow, oh boy…they REALLY don’t care if you understand their song. Caw! Share, teach, give in the way you see fit… It …
Not being a full-on baseball fan, I still feel confident that I know what he’s saying. If you don’t even try, you can’t possibly succeed, right? How many times have clients told me that they are afraid to even take a shot at what they want? How many times have I told them that what …
I particularly like this quote, because it’s author is the founder of a company I LONGED to work for out of college.

Many successful individuals will tell you, that without the “failures” in their lives or businesses, they would not have achieved their goals. It’s always a learning process…that is, if you “learn” from those failures. I’ve often thought that failures were just an opportunity to show you what you’re truly made of. And when you achieve …
Odd way of phrasing the title, I know. And yet, isn’t it true that when we solve a problem, we make a decision that we don’t want to run into this again? It does, in fact, become a rule, benchmark, signpost…whatever you want to call it. It becomes something we can “recall” to avoid the …
Are you a bit like me, in that you really want to make the BEST decision, every time? Nothing wrong with that… However. We know that the decisions we make, are done with the information we have available at the time. What if you get MORE information, later, that may have guided you to a …
This quote is a testament to my working out, 4 days a week. Even when I don’t want to… During lockdown, I gained some weight. Having been an active exerciser in my 40’s, I knew I had to get back into the groove to get the weight off and keep it off. Motivation? Check. When …
A “skillful” anything…holds to the same sentiment. Many a highly skilled individual, did not achieve mastery without challenges. It takes those very challenges, to provide the skill and mastery being pursued. So when the waters get choppy on the way to your great achievements, celebrate it. You’re being “made.”
