It’s a well-known fact that relationships have a positive affect on the fabric of our lives. People need people. The Internet Age, however, has left some people connecting primarily via text, email, direct messages and status updates. That’s simply not the same as meeting face to face or even having a long telephone conversation. When …
Many people think of me as a highly productive person. They ask me how I accomplish so much. They want to know my methodology for getting so much done. I don’t think of myself as a high producer or high performer. Yet, its true that I create a fair amount of written work, such as …
During Yom Kippur, Jewish congregations atone for a litany of communal sins. They range from common ones to ones you rarely hear or think about. One sin, however, always sticks in my mind, because it a misdeed I typically don’t think of as a sin: negative thinking. Don’t get me wrong. I believe strongly that …
Like most Jews, this week I observed the holiday of Rosh Hashanah. This is the time of the year when we begin thinking about how we behaved for the last twelve months and participate in the process of atoning for any wrong doings or wrong behavior. I see this as a chance for introspection and …

I’m a dreamer. How about you? But dreams don’t do us much good if they stay in our heads. I’ve been known to act on my dreams…even without a whole lot of planning or forethought. Sometimes that’s okay. It’s better to take action to make your dreams a reality than to do nothing at all. …
Recently, I found myself struggling with my work. I just wasn’t feeling jazzed, passionate or eager to get to my desk in the morning. I was having a hard time making myself write. I could see my income suffering as well. I would offer a course, and nothing would happen. No response. Not only that, …
Have you ever been in a situation where you felt small? Maybe someone said something or did something that seemed to reduce your size by half or more? This happened to me not that long ago. Someone said some things, made me feel “less than,” not good enough, and generally as if I were in …
Every day I remind myself that I’m supposed to exercise. I need to build muscle and gain bone mass. After all, I’m approaching 55, and I need to take good care of my body. It’s my temple, right? Yet, I need to build muscle on the inside, too. I was reminded of this last week …
Most of us don’t realize how often we say we can’t do something. But what could we accomplish if we stopped saying, “I can’t”? Any limiting thought or belief holds us back., and it’s highly likely that in most, if not all, cases when when we say these words they are based in a belief …
One person can impact so many lives. Imagine if your life were to change the course of thousands or millions of people and if the work you are doing now were to becoming a living legacy remembered long after you had left this world. Is that something you would like to strive toward? Or would …
Yesterday I was supposed to be writing. Instead, I spent about five hours purging my office of paper. I wasn’t exactly sure at the time what that was about, but this morning I woke up, looked around my office, which still has quite a lot more unnecessary “stuff” that can be tossed, and knew exactly …
This past week my daughter graduated from New York University. I had the privilege of sitting through two commencement ceremonies, one for the entire university and the other for the Tisch School of the Arts. While some people dread such events, I look forward to the inspirational speeches. They may be meant to inspire the …
