Exploring
Life’s Big Questions
With Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a contemplative
nature. When I was a little boy, I ruminated about life with questions that
seldom had concrete answers. I’m intrigued by what I call “the big questions.”
Some of those big questions are: Who am I? Where Did I Come From? Are We What We
Came From? …Like

Make 2010 the
Most Amazing Year of Your Life!
By Dr. Deepak Chopra
We have all experienced coincidences that seemed
extraordinary. Perhaps you were out on your bike and collided with another rider
in front of a small café you’d never noticed before. Later in the week, you
decide to eat lunch there and end up meeting your future wife at the next table.
Or maybe you pick up the Sunday classified ads for no apparent reason and notice
a job opening that interests you. A couple of weeks later you find out that your
corporation is laying off everyone in your division. You suddenly remember the
ad you saw and decide to apply. You go for the interview and the new company
offers you an even better position that hadn’t been advertised. The Swiss
psychologist Carl Jung coined a word to describe these moments of meaningful
coincidence: synchronicity. …Like

"It’s Not You,
It’s Me”
Deciphering Common Break-Up Lines
Breaking up is hard to do – for both parties. The partner
being rejected feels pain. The partner who is calling it quits may fear
inflicting harm on their ex and/or having to deal with the inevitable fallout.
This fear too often leads to reluctance to communicate feelings and intentions
in a direct and clear manner, which results in half-truths, white lies and a lot
of confusion, uncertainty and guilt. …Like

How Do I Look?
A Conversation Between The Sexes
“Ok. What’s up?” he sighs. “You’ve been quiet ever since
we left home this evening. I thought it was a great party but you’ve been pouty.”
“I’m not pouty,” she pouts. “Come off it. Of course you are. Something’s been
bothering you from the moment we got in the car.” “No,” she corrects him. “From
the moment I came down the stairs ready to go. You didn’t say a thing about how
I looked.” A heavy sigh accompanies her tearing eyes

Do You Flail Or
Sail?
Dealing with Change
How is it that when change strikes, some people flail
while others sail? Why do some become bitter while others allow the change to
make them better? How is it that one person becomes frozen with fear and
hopelessness while another seizes the opportunities present in the change? The
answer lies in one’s response to life’s changes. Here are eight of the most
effective ways to deal with change: …Like

Fulfilling Your
Wildest Dreams
Keys to Abundance and Prosperity
What are your wildest dreams? How would you feel if your
deepest hopes and wishes came true? Real abundance and prosperity goes far
beyond money. We usually consider abundance to be material wealth, but it also
means emotional well-being, spiritual fulfillment, and the ability to fully
experience – and share – love and joy. True fortune is the art of knowing how to
live. …Like

“Are we there
yet? Are we there yet?
As a child you probably asked this question at one time or
another, and if you’re a parent, you’ve probably heard it from your child as
well: “When are we going to get there?” As adults we ask: “When am I going to
meet my partner? When am I going to get that job I love? When am I going to
get my raise? When am I going to be happy? When am I going to be free?” …Like

Second Sight
How to Remember and Interpret Dreams
Dreaming is a direct line to a place where magic abounds
and nothing is without meaning. It is a pristine state of awareness, unpolluted
and clear. Direct guidance for healing lies in our dreams, the natural territory
of intuition. Here, time and space are non-existent and anything is possible.
Like a blank, white canvas, our dream world is a spacious medium where intuition
can freely express itself. We have only to listen.

In Search of
the Authentic
To really live means to be directed towards something, to
progress towards a goal. Whether you like it or not, to live is to always have
convictions, to believe something about the world and about one’s self. Personal
convictions can be positive or negative. …Like

Nagging
Ask the Expert
I have been accused of being a nag many times and I hate
it. I nag my husband, but only because he doesn't take responsibility to follow
through on what he says he'll do. This is getting to be an old and frustrating
routine. Is there a way to change it? …Like

The Power of “PMA”
Attitude! From Negative to Gratitude
Some say that PMA (positive mental attitude) doesn’t
work. I beg to differ. While it’s true that doing nothing in addition to
positive thinking will NOT get the best result, a positive attitude (with a dash
of gratitude and celebration) will at least raise your energy.

A Closed Door
The Arrow Pointing to Your True Path
Recently I did a coaching session with Claudia, a new
coach setting up shop. She’s been a marketing tiger: going to leads groups,
networking, sending out slick brochures, yet still no takers. “I’m doing
everything the books tell you to do,” she exclaimed. “Are you doing everything
your heart tells you to do?” I asked quietly. “No,” she said and filled in the
details. She wanted this business to work. But she really didn’t love
traditional coaching. More and more she daydreamed about doing
spiritually-oriented work with teenagers. “Then thank goodness for closed
doors,” I said. “It would be a tragedy if the wrong life took off.”

children. But the truth is, there is much we can learn from them. Why not turn

Books are Not

Enticing the Reluctant Reader
What’s worse – manipulating your child to eat their
veggies at dinner or cajoling them to read after they eat? Well, if you reacted
– “both are flatly impossible” – then keep reading. As for eating healthy, you
are on your own. But getting your child to become a sincerely avid reader is
far from impossible. In fact, you can do it!

When Thinking
Positively is Just Too Hard
We’re told that happiness is a choice, but many of us who
struggle with depression and anxiety can’t always keep our negative thoughts
from taking control of our lives. When we believe the world is coming to
an end, or that we’re a complete failure, or that nothing will ever work out for
us, it’s easy to think about crawling into a hole somewhere. And some would have
us believe that if we just THINK positively, we’ll magically feel better, but
that doesn’t always work. …Like

Need
Counseling?
What to Look for in a Therapist
Face it. You’re a mess! You’re lost in an emotional
storm, in danger of capsizing, and you need a good navigator to guide you
through. It’s time to search out a reliable counselor or therapist to help you
find safe harbor. Whether you decide to work with a clinical psychologist,
licensed social worker, or pastor, it’s important to choose a person who is both
professionally competent and compatible with your personality and needs. It also
saves time if your counselor has experience with the problem you face – divorce,
grief, addiction, challenges with your kids, or whatever tempest life has
presented. …Like
