While I don’t entirely agree with Scott that a bad attitude is a disability in the strictest sense of the word. I know his intent is to say you can’t be held back from what you want because of a disability. I do agree however, that “attitude” can have an impact on your results. But …
Mae West was an American stage and film actress, playwright, screenwriter, singer, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned over seven decades. She was known for her breezy sexual independence, and her lighthearted bawdy double entendres, often delivered in a husky contralto voice. Wikipedia I’ve seen old comedy movies with Mae and she always grabbed attention …
What’s up Chris! I was scrolling through Facebook and saw this question: What is the biggest obstacle preventing you from achieving your goals!? For me, I responded, it’s waiting for my ex to move out. I just want the bandaid ripped off and then I can truly move on and achieve the goals I have …
Lou Holtz, former football coach and motivational speaker, has often been quoted and I think this is one of his best… We know, deep inside, that it’s always how we react to something, more than what that “something” means. We get cut off in traffic and we get angry at the driver…who perhaps is late …
I’ve heard this quote before and didn’t know who “said” it. While we have no control over the first…we most certainly do over the last. Yet, what I find truly heartbreaking is that so few pursue knowing the “why” of their life. They simply choose to exist. And perhaps that is their why and good …
Yeah, so Chris… I didn’t grow up in a very vocal family. Lots of whispers and secrets. I was taught not to allow my emotions to get the “better of me.” You know, hold it in at all costs. It screwed up some really good relationships with women, who didn’t know I really cared and …
Helen Adams Keller was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness at the age of 19 months. Wikipedia She was brilliant in turning her “disabilities” into “abilities” that showed the world that nothing can truly …
Gotta agree, right? When we tie our happiness to people or things, we know full well, that gives our power away. Goals, that we’ve defined — not that others have given us, are well within our span of control. And the achievement of said goals, is fully ours to celebrate. Start with a goal to …
Hey Chris, Can you tell me how I can be more assertive when I am around people? Even though I always knew that people aren’t always trustworthy yet I still act very passive and submissive just to avoid trouble. But this causes me to get walked all over. I am the type of person people …
We often look at the people around us and what they’re doing, accomplishing, succeeding at… Then we recalibrate our actions and intentions because they “might” beat us at our game. Paul Graham’s quote is brilliant in its simplicity. If someone IS going to surpass you, why shouldn’t it be YOU? No word games here… Simple …
