“Some people are so poor, all they have is money.” – Patrick Meagher Be better than that. The greatest reason to acquire wealth is for the person you become in the process. The person of talent, discipline, maturity, and excellence. Those who become more in the process of getting rich are also those who can experience misfortune, lose it all, and then get it back – and more. Why not set a goal to acquire wealth? Why not set it for what it makes of you to achieve it? – We’ve been working on a new website! Write a private response at 130 Words. It’s
From Imagination to Realization – Bridging the Gap
Your Imagination is one of your greatest personal assets. It is a window into the world of possibility, and a powerful force toward the realization of a happier, more fulfilling life. When used purposefully, your imagination becomes the trigger of your creative abilities. Without imagination we would never venture outside the box. Our reality would only exist within the confines of the status quo. What we tend to label as “fantasizing” is really a vital first step…

Meditation and Psychotherapy – Do They Work Together?
Meditation has come a long way in the last few decades. Now practised by business sorts and bohemians alike, it is used in schools, prisons, and major companies. Meditation was even introduced in Parliament here in the UK. But is mediation really suited to be part of psychotherapy? What sort of meditation do psychotherapists use, anyway? And …
Power of Appreciation
For years I searched for my 9th grade lacrosse coach, Tony Caiazza. Little did I know I was simply spelling his name wrong and that’s why I couldn’t find him. When Coach John Brubaker, a fellow writer and speaker, found his information for me, I sent Tony this email. Are you the Tony Caiazza who coached at Smithtown East? If you are, you changed my life and …

Why risk regret?
Q: What’s scarier than making a life change? A: Regretting not making a life change. Irrational forces hold us back.

Are You Creating What You Don’t Want?
All of us are very busy creating our personal reality. Creating is actually a full-time job and we are all quite good at it. Problem is, most of the time we do this unconsciously. That means that there’s a strong likelihood we are busy creating things we don’t really want …
Webinar: Energy and Life Shifts After Healing an Issue
I spend a great deal of time on this spiritual website helping people get to the point where they can engage with an issue to heal it. But guess what? Once something shifts, you're not really done. You're now in a new space, and the deeper fear of the unknown that abides in many people can turn this amazing opportunity to grow into a threat. Additionally, the rawness and vulnerability that people often feel can be unsettling, and it is an important practice to know how to sit in this space of greater openness and clarity to allow …

How Do I Find My True Self?
Step away from everything that is familiar to you like your job, friends and family. Then take yourself out of range of all the electronic noise from computers, cell phones and the television. Now tell me this: When it is just you standing alone in the quiet of total solitude, who are you? If that question leaves you scratching your head, you are certainly not alone. I’ve noticed that more and more people are starting to feel almost completely disconnected from their true self. They tell me that they just don’t…
Enlightened Exercise: Discovering Your Body’s Natural Shape
Enlightened exercise is not about a certain state of awareness or fitness goal. It's about aligning to your body's needs and how to achieve your optimum health. That last phrase may sound a little cliche and like a goal. But your body does know what optimum health is, and it can't be described by a nutritionist, doctor, personal trainer, or whomever. Only your body truly knows what that feels like, and while we certainly take advantage of what…

11 Thoughts About Teamwork
1. Teams rise and fall on culture, leadership, relationships, attitude and effort. Great teams have a great culture driven by great leadership. Relationships are meaningful and teammates are connected. The collective attitude is very positive and everyone on the team works hard to accomplish their mission. 2. It’s all about teamwork. Sometimes you are the star and sometimes you help the star. 3. If want to be truly great you have to work as hard to be a great teammate as you do to be a great player. I tell this to athletes all the time but the same is true for any profession. When we work hard to be a great team member we make everyone around us better. 4. Your team doesn’t care if …

Get a better view of you
“Stop searching for what you already have.” In the movie The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy held the power to return home.

Take the time to become self-aware – to know yourself. Get a 360 degree view of you. Inventory the inner magic you already possess. When you take the time to recognize the capabilities, knowledge and
Personal Excellence: Building a Castle or Hauling Rocks?
There’s an old story about personal excellence that goes like this: A man who walks by a construction site and sees three workers, each pushing a wheelbarrow holding one enormous stone. Out of curiosity, he asks one of the workers what they are doing. “What does it look like?” he says with a sneer. “I’m just hauling rocks.” Unsatisfied with that answer, the man asks the second worker with a wheelbarrow the same question. Without even bothering to look up, this man says “We’re putting up walls.” Frustrated, the man tries one last time. “I say there,” he asks …
