Saying Goodbye to the Olympics and Lessons Learned (#225!)

Eighteen days ago we celebrated the opening of the Winter Olympics.  We watched as athletes from almost every nation and continent marched across our TV screens in preparation for competing in athletic sports competitions for which they had been training for over four years.  We watched both triumphs and losses but, to me, they are …

Do You Set Daily Goals for Your Workday? (Why You Should)

When you go to your job each day, are you prepared for the tasks at hand, do you feel 'pumped' and get to work?  If not, then you are missing the boat for getting more done and for getting noticed.  Being productive not only gets work done; it also taps into one's motivational need in …

How Will You End out 2013?

We only have a few more days until the New Year; it seems so hard to believe that it is here already.  This is a time of anticipation for many - will 2014 bring new career opportunities, revitalized health or a new relationship?  It's as if we are looking in a crystal ball and wondering …

Ready to Set 2014 on Fire?

Happy December!  With only a couple weeks left of this year, now is the perfect time to plan and prepare so you can hit the ground running in 2014 and blaze into success.  What you do now is predictive of how your new year will start; I think it's a misnomer that the beginning of …

Mapping Out 2014

It's hard to believe that in just six weeks we will be facing another new year.  It seems surreal that the busiest of holidays are almost upon us and all that they bring.  So my question is - are you ready for the new year and all that you want it to bring?  Will you …

If you have been living under a rock, then you would not be aware of the amazing accomplishment of 64-year old Diana Nyad over the weekend; she (finally) swam from Cuba to the U.S.  This is such an awe-inspiring accomplishment considering the distance she swam (150 miles) and the challenges she faced, i.e. the weather, …

Goal Reached (Day 30 of my Blog Challenge)

Today is day 30 of my blog challenge!  While it hasn't always been easy to find the time (and sometimes topics) I made the commitment and did it.  Knowing that it takes at least 30 days for a habit to form, I should assume that mine is set; but, alas, it is not (quite).  Habits …

Time to Rev Up Those Goals

Well, here we are at the end/start of a new week, which is the last week of the month.  School is back in session and things are getting back to a level of routine.  Before we know it, summer will be gone.  This week is the perfect time to reflect back on the last 3 …

What Seems Revolutionary is Actually Evolutionary

Being an avid horoscope reader, I found mine for today very intriguing as the phrase in the title of this post was in it: "What seems revolutionary is actually revolutionary."  The other 'advice' told me not to spend money on toys, to postpone travel for now, and to test ideas to avoid conflict.  I didn't …
