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

Do you know how people perceive you? Do you know how you want to be perceived? I talk a lot about branding with my writing and blogging clients and with attendees at writers’ conferences. In simple terms, this means I help them determine “how they want to be known or perceived.” The process involves thinking

I celebrated my birthday about a week ago. Several other people I know on Facebook shared the same birthday, and one asked me at what time I was born. I started thinking about my birth…why I was born in the morning…and my birth script. So much has been written about things like birth order, but,

The other day I was speaking with a dancer about perfection. Dancers constantly strive for perfection, but it’s an unattainable goal. No matter how well they perform, no matter how seemingly perfect their last pirouette, no matter how amazing their last double tour…it can always be better. Some people feel fine with “good enough.” Others,

I went to a conference recently run by the Expert Industry Association. I did it to advance my business—to help me learn how to do what I do better. I was surprised to hear—or maybe not so surprised—that most of the presenters spend a ton of time and money on personal development. Some of them

One of the ways we help ourselves succeed in life is by association. We can choose to associate with people who are successful, to find mentors who can teach us or to surround ourselves with supportive friends and colleagues. In this way we help ourselves become our best possible selves. I recently read that we

Tomorrow begins the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the Day of Repentance. It comes after 10 days of introspection when we explore the sins we’ve committed and how to rectify them.
