The Mystery Of Intuition
Intuition is elusive. You know it exists but it’s difficult to explain. You experience insight or understanding; you know what to do or not do; you can predict outcomes and avoid dangers. Jonas Salk said, “Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.” Why do you now know what you didn't know just moments ago? This article helps you better understand your intuitive processes and take full advantage of your hidden, intuitive capacity.
Puppy Power
I'm sitting here watching our puppy bark at his reflection in the window in the door to the back yard. His goal is to get outside but he has a problem. There is a guard dog on the other side of the window, staying right with him, bark for bark, preventing his exit. He first runs up to the other dog, tries to get past him, then backs away to analyze and evaluate. This article has the rest of the story.
Business As Usual And Other Facts Of Life
It probably comes as no surprise that merely trusting others is not the end of it. The question is not just, "Who do you trust?" It isn't, "Who trusts you?" either, since even world class scoundrels likely are trusted sometimes by someone. The question is, "Is there any good reason why anyone should trust you?" This article explores this and other principles of personal success.
Monkey Bridges And PRIDE
Your personal monkey bridges are usually easy to see. They loom monstrously in the path to your success. Your challenge is to approach each one with PRIDE and then reach down deep inside for the strength and confidence to just do it. This article shows you the meaning of PRIDE and how to handle those pesky monkey bridges that are blocking your path to success.
Can and Did
How should you approach success? What is the best strategy for blending did and can?

You have a wide range of options for doing but no magical powers. This article helps you understand and exploit the options you actually have.
The Key To Virtue
"When one ceases from conflict, whether because he has won, because he has lost, or because he cares no more for the game, the virtue passes out of him." -- Charles Horton Cooley -- There are three concepts here that represent an unusual juxtaposition: "conflict," "the game," and "virtue." This article discusses virtue and how you can assure that you are actually behaving virtuously.
Some Stuff I Have Learned
The toothpaste won't go back into the tube. I learned this important fact when I was about 6. I don't remember how I managed to get the toothpaste out of the tube and all over me, the bathroom, and my new shirt. But I sure do remember that there was no way to get it back into the tube before my mother asked the question all mothers ask. 'What in the world do you think you are doing?' …
Fired With Enthusiasm
“Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." = "Seize the day, put no trust in tomorrow." – Horace -- Along with “Carpe diem,” Horace said, “He has the deed half done who has made a beginning." Indira Gandhi also thought that getting on with getting on is the way to go, "Have a bias toward action....” If you are ready to Seize the day, this article is just what you need to consider.
