Do you sometimes feel like you’ve wasted your time? or your resources? or your opportunities? or … That ‘they’ are gone and can’t be retrieved. While some of the waste can be laid at your own feet – not all, sometimes the waste was not your doing but you reaped the results.  How does it make you feel? […]

Is this how you live your life, your MO? Or do you only play it safe with certain aspects of your life and are wildly abandoned in others? Do you know, if you’re the safe player type, how you got that way? What happened that ‘made’ you adopt this way of reacting and interacting? Playing it safe

How do you define this word? Does equal mean precisely the same? Does ‘equal’ apply to everything? The answers to the last two questions is… no. I suspect that part of our approach to equal starts in childhood when it appears that another person may have gotten favor over/instead of us. Equal really is such

Please note that it’s the word, ‘want’, not ‘need’, not ‘like’ – want. Do you know what you want? And most importantly, is it something you can acquire? I’m putting ‘want’ in realistic terms – something attainable though you don’t currently have it. However, it isn’t a ‘need’. It’s critical that the want is something that’s

… is a goal worthy of pursuing and requires all that we are capable of doing at a moment in time. For me, of all the possibilities, knowing that my efforts are effective is a goal. But what if you aren’t effective? What do you do with this reality? How do you handle a situation

Have you ever experienced a life changing event? Did the change ‘take’? I would define ‘take’ as some event that caused a significant change for you and that you ended up using it to build upon. I have and I’ll never be the same. Then again, that’s what a life changing event does – it changes you. The

Do you ever fear that you’ve missed your moment? That somehow (your) the ‘opportunity of a lifetime’ came and went without you ever savoring it, maybe even being aware? Perhaps you have… but I seriously doubt it. I don’t believe in only one opportunity to accomplish or attain whatever your moment defines. Whether or not it is

Have you ever thought about life’s questions and answers in terms of the source of the answer? With few exceptions I believe each of us has a portion of The Answers to The Big Questions of life and living, whether or not we realize it. I also believe it’s as we share our answers that the picture

Admittedly, I’m an unabashed anti-noise person. Even as a child I have always intensely disliked noise – I think because it’s so jarring. However, simply because you don’t like noise does not, ipso facto, make you a silence adherent. In my case it does. I do enjoy the quiet because of all the things you can hear in

Do you believe in the multiple persona approach? Another way of asking this question is: do you have a work face, a home face, a friend face, a play face, etc.? To be honest, I’ve never seen the need for or relevance of this approach though I know many people do. However, I don’t know
