Breathing

Taking a breath is good! Not just because you are less likely to die if you do, but also because you are less likely to kill a relationship. Have you ever had a time when you hit “send” on an email, or made a snarky comment-and then wished you had a rewind...

Blame

As a society, we’re really good at blaming others. We do it really quickly, too. I’ll let you in on a secret; no matter what your source is, you will NEVER have the whole story. Even if you somehow did have all of the information, you would not have the...

Communicate

“For no one can fill, those of your needs that you won’t let show.” Lean on Me. Bill Withers People love to help. You love to help. No one wants to be taken advantage of, but everyone likes to help. The problem is, we don’t always know how to...

Don’t like where you’re going?

Change it. No matter how small the change, it will change where you go. Jim Rohn said, ‘When you change your direction, you automatically change your destination.” It has been calculated that if an airplane that just took off from Los Angeles, heading to...
