I'm moving across the ocean to Paris, France! I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!. Bonjour mon ami. Comment allez vous? Bien merci, eh vous? Oui, Oui! That is all I remember from my high school French classes. I'm not even sure if the spelling is right. I'd better hit the old books because in two short months I'll be ordering French cuisine from an authentic French restaurant with a view of the Eiffel Tower. This is something my husband and I have dreame... more...

More often than not when people learn about all the projects I manage at once, and notice that I actually COMPLETE them... they always ask me the same question, "How do you get all this stuff done?" For me, it boils down to a simple process that I go through every time I set a goal for myself. Whether the goal is to get in better shape (like losing 4 pounds in the last 10 days), launch a new program, create a new website, meet a particular expert or publish a book... the process is alw... more...

Visualization is essentially the process of guided imagery meditation. It's getting yourself into a deeply-relaxed state and then using your mind to create positive images of something you want to, have, or be. Visualization is conscious creation. It's using the power you were born with to live life on purpose, rather than by default. Each of us creates our own reality, consciously or unconsciously. Either we choose to focus and thereby move in the direction of our dreams or we ... more...

Many suggest that "luck is something you do." Nonetheless, I often relate to my patients that what we focus upon tends to become our reality, because we will likely do things and allow things to occur (both consciously and unconsciously) consistent with that structured focus, in order to manifest our desires. Recent best-selling books, like Dr. Wayne Dyer's "The Power of Intention" and Rhonda Byrne's "The Secret," eloquently reaffirm this inspirational messages ... more...

When George Harrison wrote these words: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there", he was making a valid point. If you don't have a clear idea of what you're aiming for, you could end up anywhere. Setting life goals with clarity will make sure you end up where you want to be. It's much better to have a clear idea of your destination. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going.... more...

Just like there's a recipe for chocolate cake, there's a recipe for goal setting. But if you've tried more than one baker's cake you know that not all recipes are the same. The ingredients, both quality and amount, will affect the final result. The order and method of combining the ingredients also makes a difference. Utensils, time, temperature and technique add even more variables. The recipe you choose will determine the quality of the cake you end up with. W... more...

There is a saying that goes: "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there" and the truth of the matter is if you have no set direction or are not clear where you are heading, you could land up anywhere. There is another saying, this time by Ralph Waldo Emerson, which says: "The world makes way for the man who knows where he is going." The point being made here is that with a clear set direction, or clear goals, you are more likely to achieve ... more...

Most of us have goals in life. Most of us have some thing, or lifestyle, that we want.

You can set goals all day long, but if you cannot truly ... more...

As a person if you want to achieve success in life, you will need to develop a definite personal goal/s, which will lead your life to happiness and prosperity. Personal ... more...
