Right to be hurt aka beast of burden What if we forever relinquished our right to be hurt and offended! How many grudges and hurts are we carrying around today that are related to something that happened 1 year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago . . . That’s insane that […]
Path of least resistance
September 21, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Path of least resistance The path of least resistance seldom, if ever, takes us where we want to go. It is always going to be easier to not exercise than it is to exercise, to not make the phone calls than to make the phone calls, to avoid the difficult conversation rather than have them, […]
Conceptual vs Real
September 20, 2016 by Leave a Comment
Conceptual vs Real If your goals don’t bring a smile to your face, open your heart, or create a flow of positive emotion, then they are just items on your to do list. They are chores. And, chores do not have any magnetism or inspiration or desire. This happens all the time with people and […]

Guilt is not a success strategy The illusion is that if I feel guilty about something, it will help me to change, to not do that thing again, or to do better next time. It won’t! Not a chance! That is not the way the brain works. Whatever we continually impress upon our brains basically […]

Background Thought I talked recently with a client. His background predominant thought is – “this is not working.” Another client had, “I’m a screw up.” Many clients have had, “This business is hard.” Many clients have had, “I’m not okay because of this childhood thing.” And on and on.

Parrot Coaching If I got a parrot and taught it to say, “Based on these results, what must you believe?”, the parrot would be able to do part of my job for me.
