Is that how you feel? Are you looking forward to positive changes in the year to come? The beauty of optimism Optimism is a beautiful…
The Surprising Value of Vultures
The vulture shortage really did happen. It was a few years ago, but 100 percent true. As for the rest of the story… Uncle Filbert and I were engaging in some leisurely small talk about the usual topics: what to eat for dinner, how the children were growing, the odd weather we’ve been having lately, and of course, the severe vulture shortage in India. “It really has placed the country in quite a pickle,” Uncle Filbert observed. I agreed. “Whatever will they do for Thanksgiving next year?” “It’s a vulture shortage, not a turkey shortage,” Uncle Filbert explained. “Well, at least they’ll have the pickle.” …

Why Goals Are Not the Same as Wishful Thinking
There seems to be a lot of confusion when it comes to the difference between having goals and plain, old, wishful thinking. I often hear people talking about their personal goals and find their enthusiasm to be very encouraging. Everyone should have goals. When I ask these same people about their strategies for reaching those goals, it’s not uncommon to hear the phrase “I’m going to try.” I know their intentions are good, but the simple truth is that trying is not a strategy. In fact, it’s usually a combination of wishful thinking topped with a token amount of effort. What does…
