Don’t Give Up On Those New Year’s Resolutions Yet


After a week or two of the New Year, many of us are starting to wonder why we ever vowed to those resolutions in the first place. Sure we want to get our spending under control or shed a few extra pounds, but these goals require lifestyle changes that aren’t always the easiest to make. However, throwing in the towel on those New Year’s resolutions may sabotage you in more way than one.

In addition to improving your health or overall mental well-being, several New Year’s resolutions will also help you get a better hold on your finances, especially if they are one of the following: Read the rest of this entry »

Take Control of Your Life


People spend their lives dreaming of the day when they will finally be in control of their own destiny.  As children they dream of the day they get to tie their own shoelaces and choose their own food. As young teenagers they dream of the freedom of having their own car and as older teens they dream of being out on their own or going to college. But when they get to college the dream shifts to having a job, their own money, etc.

Unfortuantely, the job doesn’t bring freedom either. You still have a boss, deadlines, and people telling you what to do. So perhaps the dream shifts toward being your own boss, having your own business or the day you are eligable for retirement.  But it is a long way from college graduation to retirement. And that is no way to live the majority of your life… waiting for the day when you can sit back and do as you please. In today’s article Jason Leister shows us the importance of “Standing Up” and taking responsibility for our own lives in the here and now and not just shifting responsibility off onto our parents, teachers, professors, boss, doctor, or government.  Take control of your life… you’ll be glad you did.  Tim McMahon~editor

The Power of “Standing Up”

By Jason Leister
Almost 3 years ago, I started on the path towards accepting responsibility for everything that happens in my life. I was hardly living my “best life” at the time and the repercussions of that were really starting to be a drag.

If you feel like you’re going through your life, doing your best to deal with what the world is “dishing out to you,” then you know what I’m talking about. It’s a terrible feeling.

The good news is that you can change that. The bad news is that only you can change that. Read the rest of this entry »

Why Work if You Don’t Have To?

Ideally, your work should allow you to take the best of what’s in you and express it to the world. It should give your life dignity and meaning, whether you’re writing software, fixing teeth, or just raising happy, productive kids. No matter how you spend your days, you have a clear choice. You can think of your work entirely in terms of responsibilities and obligations. Or you can view it as a contest, a challenge, an opportunity. Because if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, there’s little chance your work will please or impress anyone else.Read the rest of this entry »

Your Beliefs Are Your Destiny

By David Batchelor

Belief is a feeling of certainty – but being certain of what?

Being certain of possibilities.

When we believe something, what we really believe is that that thing is possible. Life after death… a cure for cancer or Lupus or AIDS… success in any endeavor… we either believe it’s possible or we do not. “Impossibility” might simply be defined as “the absence of positive belief.” Read the rest of this entry »

What’s the point?

By David Batchelor

Each day for five or six days a week you come to work. Perhaps you come to work in your own business or maybe you are working for someone else. Either way, you are investing a lot of time and energy helping this business to succeed. Why should it?

I am really asking you if you know the purpose of your business: it’s reason for being? Do not confuse purpose with goals and business strategy. A purpose is long-lasting because it is never fully attainable. Read the rest of this entry »

Searching For Happiness in All The Wrong Places

By Sharon L. Demarte, M.A.

Recently I realized I am happy! I have found happiness! Oh, I have a couple of challenging life situations going on at the moment, but my overall state is that of happiness. I write this in a state of awe that I have actually gotten to this place and excitement to share with you what I have learned.

All of my life I’ve struggled and strived to find that elusive quality called happiness, only to have it continually evade my grasp. What is so amazing to me is that I didn’t find it in any of the ways the world prescribes. Read the rest of this entry »

Managing Your Time Wisely
