Do you ever find yourself using "but", "I can't", "I don't believe", "this is a struggle", "I don't deserve" or "I'm not a top performer"? Continually using negative language is self-destructive. "But" is a very bad habit that needs to be removed.

A very simple mechanism w...

itbadmin — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 16:06:02 +0000

I ask you the question: Is it okay to ask a person: "How old are you?"

Because of this question, I'm going through culture shock!! I even grew up here and I'm still going through culture shock!

Today was about the 5th time in a week that I've been asked: "how old are you?" The ...

Rationalization

Rationalization: "The devising of self-satisfying but false reasons for one's behavior." Sometimes we don't know why we do what we do, and perhaps such ignorance is okay, or should be. Our temptation is always to explain, but that often does nothing useful. In fact, it can just get in the way...

It's likely that all of us have this bad habit to some extent, and I nominate it for the title of the worst habit one can have. What is it? Fighting reality rather than accepting and dealing with things the way they are. Here are some examples, and a few suggestions as to how to break this habit...

Life Turnaround to Purpose

itbadmin — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 22:02:20 +0000

The journey of the last two decades has been a wild, roller coaster of a ride, filled with slow climbs up and exciting, even scary descents. It's what I affectionately term my purposeful path. Before my near-suicide, I traveled the path mostly asleep, unaware that I was even on a journey. Then c...

You Can Have What You Want

Oh, how I love my friend CJ! He's such a gift and a blessing. I had been running around for days trying to find a copy of the original "Layla" by Eric Clapton. Forget trying to find a copy of it on audiocassette in Los Angeles. I was going to have to go to CDs, which I don't have in my car. B...

itbadmin — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 23:02:15 +0000

To blame means to accuse someone of doing something wrong. It is very easy to put blame on a person when things begin going wrong and hammer that person left and right for being responsible for all the mess. Let us look at this further.

Sometimes, in our personal relationships, when we say ...

Are You Forgetting the Future and Predicting the Past

itbadmin — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 23:02:12 +0000

"Already always living"...do you suffer from this? The primary symptom is that of projecting the past into the future...assuming what has (already) happened before to you, will (always) happen again. Therefore, you stay stuck in repetitive patterns and you live your life like a broken record. Y...

Seeking to Nurture Others Start By Finding Yourself!

itbadmin — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 23:01:23 +0000

"I'm not worried about what I want; I just want to make sure that everyone else has what they want."

It's an unspoken chorus of women who have been raised to believe that being "selfless" is their greatest gift to the world.

Underneath it lurks a great fear.

"If my family...

The Word Can’t Does Not Exist In My Vocab

itbadmin — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 17:06:05 +0000

I remember when I was growing up, my parents used to become vey annoyed with me when I stated that I could not do my homework or could not do other things I had been asked to do.

They would respond with the advice that I could do anything in life as long as I believed in myself and as long ...

What Was I Thinking

itbadmin — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 06:01:11 +0000

There's a country song called "What Was I Thinking?" It's a cute story about a young man who takes a beautiful girl out for a date. Normal, right? Except for the fact that the girl's father is a bit crazy. And despite the father's gun-toting demeanor, the boy decides to take the girl out ag...

itbadmin — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 00:04:23 +0000

Recently I've been asked to be a guest expert to discuss Manifestation and, in particular, how what we think creates the life we experience - our reality and results. It occurred to me that I've talked about this idea over time in my newsletters, and that it was time to be really direct about i...
