Okay, so, I have to admit it. The other day someone told me I am a procrastinator. And I had to admit that he was right. We procrastinate for many reasons. Fear. Laziness. Self-worth issues. Lack of passion. What about you? Are you procrastinating? Why aren’t you doing what you say you want to do? […]

Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started. — David Allen I don’t celebrate Christmas; I celebrate Chanukah, and that holiday ended early in December. So, I’m already thinking about the New Year. Not that the secular New Year is

By simply thinking about the

So many of us don’t pursue our dreams out of a fear of failure. We feel afraid that we won’t get it right, our work won’t be perfect, we will find ourselves ill equipped for the task, we won’t be good enough or will be thought uncredentialed, we will give up or for some reason,

When we can’t seem to solve a problem, we turns to a supernal power that might provide a solution…or a miracle. Thus, more than two months into the Gulf oil spill crisis, four affected State Governors proclaimed this past Sunday, June 27th, A Day of Prayer. In other words, we turn to God for answers

Today, I will look at the last seder plate symbol: maror. These are the bitter herbs that represent slavery. Of course, during Passover the issue of slavery comes up big time. We discuss how the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt and how Moses asked the Pharaoh to let free them. When Pharaoh said, “No,” God

Each year as Passover approaches I’m given reason to consider my fears and how I deal with them. I do this because I remember learning about how fearful the Children of Israel felt at the shore of the Red Sea as the Egyptians approached. I was at an event near my home in Silicon Valley

Like many people around the world, I’ve been watching the Winter Olympics. I’ve been struck by the skaters in particular, who have had a number of falls. It’s easy to sit back in my living room chair and criticize them for making mistakes and “blowing their big opportunity,” but I know how hard it is

As Jews around the world usher in the Sabbath with the candle lighting ritual, they ask God to spread over them “wings of peace…sukkat shalom.” They ask for “Shabbat shalom…Sabbath peace.” While some Jews actually will feel that peace during the 25 hours of this week’s Shabbat, I’m sure the survivors of the earthquake in

As I sat on my wind trainer today trying to get my post-ACL surgery knee to simply bend a little more than yesterday, I contemplated my back and forth motion. (A wind trainer, by the way, is a contraption upon which you can place a regular bike so you can “ride” it inside.) I had

As the sun sets, marking the beginning of Shabbat, a day known for “shalom,” peace, I think it’s fitting that President Barak Obama today should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
