The Voice in Your Head: A Personal Perspective

By Arlene
Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

By Suzanne Quinn and Andrea J. Brunswick

After seven years as a life coach, there are times that I still hear the voice in my head loud and clear.  Although I have been working with clients and helping to change lives for many years, my career has taken a new path.  My vision for my life and my career are big.  My partner and I have embarked on a new venture, which includes writing articles, building a website, blogging, developing products, social networking and speaking engagements.  Our vision is much bigger than the one on one coaching with which I am comfortable.  This means moving out of my comfort zone in many areas.

Two weeks ago, a loud ugly voice in my head told me, that I have bitten off way more than I can chew.  What do I know about writing articles?  What do I know about hosting webinars, creating new programs, and being a business owner?  My voice told me that I could not do it.  It told me that I was going to fail.  Read More→

Celebrate Your Success

By Julia H James

Do you ever accomplish something and just move on to the next project, not even taking a moment to catch your breath? After all, there’s so much to be done, right?

You are not alone! Most people plug away at those eternal to-do lists and don’t allow time to celebrate hard work and success. This pattern may produce results, but it certainly leaves little room for joy – and results without joy is like baking a great cake without ever delighting in its taste.

Why don’t we stop to celebrate more often? After all, celebration shifts us into a world of fantastic feelings – happiness, satisfaction, pride, and more – and these feelings have a way of generating even more success. Read More→

Learning to Love What Is

By Arlene
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011

By Caroline Nettle

We live in a society that is addicted to fast, young, beautiful, and me, more, now. We are constantly told that we need to have this gadget, or make up, or job in order to be lovable, and in our constant quest for the quick fix, we really lose sight of ourselves.

It is remarkable that we spent so much time, money, and effort to look youthful and vital, and then condone men who leave their wives for a younger model. It is also tragic to see the vast numbers of young women, and increasingly men, who are electing to have surgery in order to be more…..whatever it is that they are chasing- thinner, more beautiful, younger, bigger breasts, and so on.

The advertisers take no responsibility for the increase in eating disorders, bad debt, or suicides that occur in our society because we are essentially not happy in our own skin. Read More→

Give Generously and Let Go

By Robert C. Jameson

“What does that mean and why should I give at all? I don’t have any money to give away. Money’s tight these days. Haven’t you been listening to the news?”

It’s interesting that when we think about giving, we think we have to dig into our wallets and give someone our hard earned cold cash. Cash is nice and it is important to share our abundance; however, that is not the type of giving I am talking about.
