Keys To Happiness
Posted by: | CommentsAppreciation, or rather the expression of appreciation, is essential for emotional health and well-being. Appreciation is a skill that we can all learn. But it has to start at home. It has to start with appreciation for you.
Appreciation of self may not come easily. I don’t know about you but I grew up with the sense that to ‘blow my own trumpet’ was a bad thing – something I shouldn’t do because I wouldn’t be liked if I did. Being liked was important to me – so I didn’t blow my own trumpet – ever. I also rarely felt good about myself. In my seeking to understand me I discovered that a powerful connection exists here..
The Qualities Of A Skilfull Leader
Posted by: | CommentsIf you want to be a leader who attracts quality people, the key is to become a person of quality yourself. Leadership is the ability to attract someone to the gifts, skills, and opportunities you offer as an owner, as a manager, as a parent. I call leadership the great challenge of life.
What’s important in leadership is refining your skills. All great leaders keep working on themselves until they become effective. Here are some specifics:
1) Learn to be strong but not rude.
It is an extra step you must take to become a powerful, capable leader with a wide range of reach. Some people mistake rudeness for strength. It’s not even a good substitute.
The Up Side Of Procrastination
Posted by: | CommentsIf you are like me, you have a tendency to put off until tomorrow what you could do today. In his book, “The Time Trap: How to Get More Done in Less Time”, R. Alec Mackenzie says procrastination is “… a close relative of incompetence and a handmaiden of inefficiency.” Ouch. I hope that got your attention.
Mackenzie defines procrastination as deliberately avoiding an unpleasant task. So, he is not talking about forgetfulness, although I think the forgetful person may sometimes get accused of procrastination.
Courage That Changed Your Life
Posted by: | Comments“The scars you acquire while exercising courage will never make you feel inferior.” D.A. Battista
“Courage is a special kind of knowledge: the knowledge of how to fear what ought to be feared and how not to fear what ought no to be feared.” David Ben-Gurion
“Courage is fear that has said its prayers.” Dorothy Bernard
Courage. It is a word that conjures up images of great and dramatic actions. And yet I realize that we all have the opportunity to be courageous every day, in small and large ways. And it is when we choose to be courageous that we change our lives and the lives of those around us.

Natural Remedy To Stop Snoring
Posted by: | CommentsUsing Natural remedies for Stopping the Snorezzzzzzzz
You’ve probably spent a sleepless night because of someone else’s snoring. You’ve tossed and turned in your bed; you’ve put on earplugs and listened to Beethoven instead; you’ve tried moving the person around and shaking him to get him to stop – but to no avail.
Snoring is caused usually by a disruption in the passageway of air. Normally, air passes from the nose and throat to the lungs unhindered. But for the snorers, the soft tissue in the upper palate or throat usually gets in the way and starts vibrating, thus explaining that Zzzzzzzzzz sound you hear when you’re asleep.

Parasites In Your Colon
Posted by: | CommentsYour colon is a place for other parasites and organisms to breed and live. Many are harmful to your health and enter the body in
various ways – foods we eat, through the bottom of your feet, air you breathe, the water you drink, and through sexual
activity.
What do we find in your colon? We find single cell protozoan, molds, parasites, fungus, viruses, bacteria, worms (round
worms), and yeast (candida albicans),. By eliminating constipation, eating more fruits and vegetables, cleaning and detoxifying your
colon, you can rid yourself of many parasites. There are herbal formulas that will help you purge these unwanted organisms
The 4 Emotions That Can Lead To Change
Posted by: | CommentsEmotions are the most powerful forces inside us. Under the power of emotions, human beings can perform the most heroic (as well as barbaric) acts. To a great degree, civilization itself can be defined as the intelligent channeling of human emotion. Emotions are fuel and the mind is the pilot, which together propel the ship of civilized progress.
Which emotions cause people to act? There are four basic ones; each, or a combination of several, can trigger the most incredible activity. The day that you allow these emotions to fuel your desire is the day you’ll turn your life around.
Helping Others to Cope With Loss
Posted by: | CommentsAs friends, relatives or others who care, there is nothing more difficult then watching those we care about endure pain—especially the pain that comes from unexpected tragedy. As a society who is untrained in how to help, we may feel confused or unsure of how to best support those we care for. The following guidelines can help you support your loved one during dark times.
Don’t try to find the magic words or formula to eliminate the pain. Nothing can erase or minimize the painful tragedy your friend or loved one is facing. Your primary role at this time is simply to “be there.” Don’t worry about what to say or do, just be a presence that the person can lean on when needed.
