It's the end of the year, everyone is looking forward to the New Year and getting a redo. If you're like most, you've probably got some resolutions for 2019. Losing weight, making more money, getting organized - those are the top resolutions, and while not unattainable, most will forget about actively working on them after
This month we've been talking about success, failure, setting goals and dreaming big. We should all have big dreams to pursue, life should be interesting and more than just clocking in and clocking out. What is the point of life if not to try to reach for the stars? Reaching for the stars can be

If you can think it, you can achieve it. It's true that our thoughts become our reality so why aren't we actively changing our thoughts so we can have a better reality? We can actually change the path we are on, simply by changing our thoughts. And this isn't a new concept. Freud talked about
Last week we talked about managing change, this week we'll discuss manifesting change. One is coping with change that has been forced on you, while the other is bringing change to pass. Change is scary, and yet many of us want to change at least one or two things in our lives. We don't like
Now is the time to set some Spring Resolutions! If you're like most Americans, you stopped any New Year's Resolutions about a week into the new year. Spring is a great time for new beginnings. You see it all around you - flowers, trees, creatures - everything is budding with new life. Spring is a
