Failure only occurs when you choose not to learn from an experience. There are valuable lessons to be learned from both good and bad experiences. And each lesson is preparing you for an event or a challenge that you will face later in your journey. You only fail when you refuse to recognize or accept a lesson and are forced to repeat it again rather than moving forward in your journey.
We all have had those moments when we feel really good. For some of us those feelings can simply make us feel calm and content and for others, they are more intense and we feel like we can do anything and that life is just rosy and amazing. We feel great! Eventually, though those feelings seem to disperse and disappear. This is all a normal and natural process as how would we recognize and…
There is no shame in being a responsible adult who does the work that is available to earn a living. But it is also important that you keep your dream alive.

I seem to have entered another time in my life when “why” is the thought of most days. And unlike in my youth when I really expected an answer, I think as an adult, when I hear myself utter this question, I know that it is time to reflect on the issue and search for my own answers. The short version of the current need for contemplation is a set of challenges for myself and…
Everyone experiences trying times in his or her life. And on many of those occasions, human nature takes over, and we mentally utter what might be the oldest question in the history of mankind, “Why?” Sometimes, it is said in a truly puzzled tone and other times it is snarled in a voice demanding an instant answer, and an apology, from the universe. But in all of these cases, we feel that our predicament…

As parents, we sometimes forget that our children spend a great deal of time looking up to us. They watch what we do and learn far more from what they see rather than what we tell them. In a sense we are more than a mirror for our children, we are a looking-glass which provides a glimpse of what they can be and achieve in their future. Be the role model and project an image of…
So much has changed in the world in the past 50 years. An entirely new generation has come of age and brought with it the mantra that they are the center of it all.
