Everyone has dreams and desires. It’s normal for you to want the good things in life or to want more of what you already have. And you have the ability to create what you want. You can make your dreams real. But if that’s true, why does it sometimes feel so difficult—or even impossible—to have …
Do you ever feel like you can’t get a minute to yourself or for yourself? We live in a crazy busy and chaotic world. It’s easy to get caught up in the societal belief that there is not enough time. And when you do, you begin to believe that you can’t take time for you. …
At certain times during the year we have a tendency to stop and evaluate ourselves. We determine if we have accomplished goals set previously, gotten closer to realizing our dreams, become better people, or fulfilled our potential or purpose. If you are like most people, you probably do this at the New Year. Depending upon …
For more than a week, I’ve spent most of my time in a rehab center. My 91-year-old mother broke her hip. I noticed one thing as I watched her and the people who care for her, as well as the other rehab patients. Cheerfulness makes almost anything bearable. For a patient, it’s easy to get …
Once upon a time, I had no ideas. Or so I thought. Now, I overflow with ideas every day. How about you? Do you have ideas? It’s wonderful to have ideas, especially ones that inspire you and that line up with your purpose and your passion—and your business. But what if you don’t have ideas? …
Have you ever thought about why you are who you are right now, and how you will create who you will be in the future? When I ask most people what makes them who they are right now, they respond, “My past experiences. My education. My environment. My genetics.” These are things that either happened …
Each year during the Passover holiday Jews tell the story of how the Pharaoh in Egypt enslaved the Israelites. Sometimes we talk about what modern day pharaohs exist in the world. I, however, think most of us live with personal pharaohs every day–those in our minds. I know I struggle with the chains put on …
Many of us spend a lot of time working on ourselves. We go to counseling. We take human potential, personal growth and self-improvement classes. We read books on these subjects as well. We analyze our relationships and ourselves. We exercise. We try to eat right. We journal. We meditate. We try new spiritual practices. We …
Lately I’ve been feeling stuck. I want to be unstuck. Ever been there? I’ve tried prayer. I talked to God. I cried to God. I pleaded with God. I tried counseling. And I got really honest with myself and with others, baring my deepest feelings. Today in the car I decided to follow Rebbe Nachman …
On Friday I took a walk in a nearby Christmas tree farm. Many people who live near to me walk there. It’s quite beautiful. I walked in the morning because in the afternoon the tree farm would be filled with people buying trees–or rather cutting down trees. As I walked I looked at the trees. …
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, …
