What Are Your Thoughts and Emotions!

I was listening to a webinar yesterday when the speaker asked us about out brain and our thoughts. He said that our brain is in charge of protecting us from harm. It is the old ancient fear that results in fight or flight. We needed this in the caveman days, right? Do you need it now? Yes, sometimes we do AND we are required to discern when it is necessary to listen to it when we are on a subway or when we are safe in our comfortable chair at home drinking our favorite beverage.

When a fearful thought comes into your mind, do you go off on a tangent and continue to focus on that thought? Do you bring in past thoughts that might reinforce the thought and then project the thoughts and potential situation into the future? What happens then? I mean, what feelings result? Do you get afraid, depressed, or sick? Just think about this for a moment. This is so very powerful!

Observe your thoughts now. What are you thinking now? Are your worried about paying your bills? Are you thinking about a test that you have to take? Are your concerned about your health? Are you worried about your children's safety? Are you concerned about your spouse or lover cheating on you or abandoning you? What are your thoughts?

Now, take a few moments and write those thoughts down. Are they happening now, in this present moment? I mean really now! Did it happen in the past or are you thinking that it might happen in the future? What is really happening in the now? Are you in a safe environment? Do you have food to eat? Do you have ANY loved ones in your life, i.e...friends, family, etc.? Read More...

Much love,

I took a Dale Carnegie course back in the 1990's and, in my perspective, his teachings are timeless. In his book, Make Yourself Unforgettable, Dale Carnegie tells us to keep the following points in mind: To get the best of an argument - avoid it. Show respect for the other person's opinion. Never tell a person he or she is wrong. If you are wrong, admit it quickly, emphatically. Begin in a friendly way. Get the other person saying "yes" immediately. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking. Let the other person feel the idea is his or hers. Speak softly. Smile appropriately. If a confrontation can't be avoided, don't feel you have to get an unconditional surrender. Always give the other person an opening for an honorable retreat. When you want to make yourself unforgettable, you may consider, do I want to be considered in a positive or negative manner? This is especially true when you are looking for opportunities. You never know

Mistakes Aren't Failures - Official Diploma Frames

We shouldn't be afraid to fail. When it happens, we shouldn't waste energy trying to cover up. It's all right to fail as long as you learn from your failure and go on to the next challenge. If you're not failing, you're not growing. Barbara Corday ( is an American television executive, writer and producer known for co-creating the television series Cagney & Lacey ) has something to say about failure in On Becoming a Leader , an excellent book by Warren Bennis (Addison-Wesley Publishing Co.). Barbara Corday was co-author (with Barbara Avedon) of the TV movie, Cagney and Lacey , which was the basis of the highly acclaimed TV series, but in the Bennis book she talks about one of her flops. "My favorite project" she said, "a TV series called American Dream , had a lot of things to say, was executed brilliantly, written and acted well, and produced beautifully. It was a critical success, but for whatever reason, the public chose not to w
