Optimism is a great thing and . . . optimism combined with insanity, doing the same things over and over while expecting a different result, produces delusion which is not a great thing. I have an acquaintance who is living in delusion. He’s very optimistic that his business is about to turn the corner and […]

The distinction responsible for vs responsible to is so important to understand if you ever do anything like interact with other people, have a significant other, have kids, or have a network marketing business.

The Familiar Zone People often talk about needing to get out of their comfort zone.

Letting Go and Moving On It is impossible to be truly happy when we are holding on to hurts, grudges, slights, misunderstandings, wronging, injustices, and the like. The important thing to remember is that letting go is something we do for ourselves, for our own happiness, and our own freedom. It doesn’t have anything to […]
