So which, dear Reader, is the most important? “Surely the second flows from the first but is the most important.”, do I hear you say? Nay, I reply…. a thousand times nay.I would contend that the art, and it is an art, of asking questions is the most critical skill, ability, learning one can attain. […]

So tell me, Cosmic Reader, are you a worrier? I know the case could be made that everyone worries about something, at some time. True. But are you a chronic worrier?My definition of ‘worry’ is a person, event, activity (not necessarily an event), “potentiality”, etc. over which you have absolutely no control. That’s the key

Sooo, Cosmic Reader, how do you handle disappointment? Stoically? With anger? Lash out at others whether or not they are involved? ‘Bravely’? Throw in the towel? Use as an impetus to try again?Obviously that is far from an exhaustive list of responses to ‘disappointment’. Remember though, never equate failure with disappointment, unless you let it

F 2I’m a word person. Not particularly earth shattering information I know. But what I want you to understand is that I’m a very serious word person. It’s probably why I’m always asking the person I’m talking with to define their words. We all use words assuming the other person will know and understand what

Don’t know about you, Cosmic Reader, but I’m one of those who is goal driven. I think I always have been. For me, it provides focus. It ‘tells’ me that out of all the various paths before me, one leads more directly to where I’m going. I should define my words – goals are not

I’m a half full type. I don’t remember not being this way. If there’s a silver lining… I’ll find it. If there’s something ‘good’ to be seen… I’ll see it. And I think I’m really blessed to be able to look at life in this way. This particular mindset, though, can be extremely annoying to

They aren’t the same, you know. However, to save any initial argument I’m going to provide my definitions so you’ll understand why I’m saying what I’m saying. Job: something you do to increase the flow of money into the family unit. Work: something you do that provides you with fulfillment, motivation, and challenge. This means

not necessarily. Compromise… Is it an ugly word? A behavior/action to be avoided…. at all costs?I remember a comment by Oral Roberts that what you compromise to get/keep you will lose. That’s paraphrased but the essence is there. Compromise, Cosmic Reader, may be ‘helpful’ but it also may be insidious. Yes, I know, it is
