Each one of us deep inside wants to feel good about who we are. Simply put we want to accept, respect and love ourselves and have people in our lives who appreciate us just for who we are. One of my friends had been struggling for years with being overweight. It bothered her greatly. She wanted [...] In a few days I will be in Brazil for two weeks. Since this is a vacation for me I have decided not to take my laptop along. However, the beauty of an internet business is that I can still stay in touch. There is this wonderful feature of being able to predate my [...] The right mindset does not guarantee anything. It is a great starting off point. Without effort and taking action change does not happen. Yet when we believe that effort will make a difference then we are much more likely to take action because we love to experience our personal growth.

When I go for a walk I have to consciously remind myself to stay in the present and pay attention. If I do not do that I [...] There is no magic answer to rekindling a relationship. There is no one thing that will quickly turn things around. Yet many couples are able to achieve a new closeness in their relationship.
