You are the boss of you
And I am the boss of me. But I am not the boss of you. How is it that every little kid in the world has, at some time in his or her little life, uttered the words “YOU’RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!”? Where does that thought even reside in the collective consciousness of […]
That Nasty Little 4-Letter F Word
The word to which I refer this time is FEAR. Fear. What an interesting concept. You can’t touch it or smell it or taste it. Yet it’s running most of our lives and producing many of our results without our even knowing it. Think for a minute about anything you’ve ever had a notion to […]
Being or Doing?
Action defeats procrastination. That’s pretty difficult to dispute. However, busyness is not the same as productivity. So therein lies the dilemma. To do or to be? If the busyness we find ourselves captivated by prevents time for reflection, then it becomes reactionary instead of responsible. And it’s unlikely that very many of us have the […]
Who are you and what do you want?
Steve Farber is one of my favorite authors, and in his first book The Radical Leap he shares a story about one person who is trying to reach another person by phone. When the phone goes unanswered, the answering machine picks up and this is what it says: Hello. You may think this is an […]
Comfort Zone or Familiar Zone?
Most humans are comfort-seeking creatures. We tend to move toward that which is most familiar and makes us feel most secure. Yet we also know that growth happens outside our comfort zones. And humans are the only species that actually goes against nature to avoid growth. We work extra hard to avoid having to change, even […]
What’s Your Story?
We all have a history (or HER story). That’s what has happened in our lives. It really is just what is. On the other side of that, we have our version of what happened. That’s usually at least a little bit different from what actually happened, because it’s what we’ve seen – or remembered – […]
Exclusive or Inclusive?
I had a great conversation this morning with a colleague and I got thinking about the word “Exclusive.” As a marketing term, that seems to be what you would want for yourself or your organization. After all, don’t we want to be stylish and fashionable and available to only the very best of the best? But […]
T.H.I.N.K. before you speak
In our part of the world (the Upper Midwest), we tend to be really nice. In fact, they’ve named a condition after us: Minnesota (or North Dakota) Nice. And that’s not always a good thing. According to an article in the Star Tribune, there are some really not-so-nice things about being Minnesota Nice. So, while […]
Fill ‘er up!
You’ve heard the story about filling other people’s buckets, right? You dip from your own well of experience, ideas, love, compassion, or whatever other positive stuff is in there and you use it to fill other peoples’ buckets so they can do the same for others. If you intentionally give away the positivity you want, […]
