  • Do you have a stop-doing-list?

    Look at your to-do list. How many items do you find that have been there for months. Do they really need to get done? What if you deleted them? The first rule of getting something done is identifying and knowing what does not need to get done. List those tasks where you get “caught up”…

  • Our Deepest Fear… (Lyrics and Video)

    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of…

  • A New Era of [Political] Responsability (Recovery.org)

  • Motivation: What’s your Daily Dose?

    “People often tell me that motivation doesn’t last, and I tell them that bathing doesn’t either. That’s why I recommend it daily.” –Zig Ziglar It’s easy to get distracted and lose focus. Especially when Monday comes and the work week begins for most of us. Over the years I have discovered that what works best…

  • Personality begins where comparison ends…

    I recently came across this quote by German-born fashion designer and artist Karl Lagerfeld: “Personality begins where comparison ends.” Personality is the sum total of the physical, mental, emotional, and social characteristics of a person. When we talk about character, we essentially speak of the qualities and distinctions which make a person unique. This uniqueness…

  • Bono on poverty at the NPB (2006)

  • Daylighting

    Some call it the side hustle, others call it the side project, but it’s been coined as “daylighting” – working jobs on the side while at another one. And for young creative professionals, it’s become a way of life. “The slash/slash generation are best described as do-it-all teens and twenty-somethings that undertake multiple careers –…
