How Not To Be A Loser

It took almost an hour before I could crack him…  before an opening appeared in the veneer of his self-confidence, allowing him to show a real emotion.When we started the coaching call, he was cheerful.  Too cheerful, even.  The goal for the session...

Why You’re Still On The Ground

The other day I ran across this terrific quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery, the author of “The Little Prince”:True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.Now, if I read that quote a year or two ago, I...

Awake in the Darkness, Sleeping in the Light

I woke up at 1 o’clock in the afternoon yesterday.Behind the steering wheel of a moving car.Veering to the left, towards oncoming traffic!Adrenalin surged, and I yanked the wheel back to the right, my heart pounding even as my eyes were trying to...

A Funny Thing Happened

A funny thing happened to me sometime in the last week or so: I seem to have developed a “work ethic”.Well, that’s what I call it, anyway.  What it is, is that I’ve started noticing when I’ve drifted off from doing actual work, and I think of...

How to Make Things Easy

Are You A Cling-On?

Yesterday I was loading up the dishwasher and getting ready to switch it on.  But I was momentarily torn: should I keep the glass I was already using, or put it in the dishwasher?  It was already pretty dirty, but I wanted to put some milk in it to...

Getting Paid For What You Love

Doing these workshops is such a rush.  I don’t mean the public speaking aspect (which I’m still nervous about most of the time), but the part where I can tell I’m actually helping people.  In ways that are much more personal and substantial than...

Life in the Future

It’s really strange, but ever since I started my blog, it seems like my life has been in some kind of fast-forward mode.  Slowly at first, but then followed by four quantum leaps thereafter, as I’ve described here in The Multiple Self, Self, Version...
