If you're aiming for success, this blog will help
you set goals, exhibit the confidence and attitude
needed to achieve all you desire.






 How Success Starts


The famous actress Goldie Hawn once said about her longtime life-partner Kurt Russell and father of one of her sons that he woke up happy every morning. Kurt is a lucky man in many ways, and maybe he doesn't need a brownie for breakfast.

Still, some mornings it couldn't hurt. Doing something special for yourself soon after waking, getting that happy mojo started, specially if you didn't wake up happy, is very important for a successful day.

Getting off to the right start and cultivating a happy, purposeful outlook is vital. Some mornings a brownie for breakfast does it for me, but for many some quiet time, a hot shower, coffee and the newspaper, stretching and/or a run through the neighborhood, any of those could work.

Getting the mood right is the first step to planning a successful day, one that keeps the joy of living working for you. Success involves a plan and the right attitude.

So, an inventory is important to catalog reasons why your self-confidence will help you make the day succeed. Some call it counting blessings, but I want to suggest counting recent successes, recent demonstrations of self-confidence to help you build more success today.

If that sounds too easy and glib, put it on your "to do list" every day and see if the discipline of getting your mood happy, maybe even ebullient, and congratulating yourself out loud for recent successes, promising to add more today, doesn't make a big difference. Why not?

People buy from people they like (whether you're selling yourself, a product or your ideas), and someone who shows up happy and self-confident is eminently likeable.

Try it and see how good it makes you feel.

Dreamy Destinations

is a gorgeous photoblog with pictures you've likely never seen
before from the world over. All of the photos are high color drama,
yes some from Paris and London, but more from St. Lucia, the Maldives,
Tahiti and Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
You will be amazed at all you've never seen before, even the beauty
of rural China.
You've never seen much of this and it might be just what you need to plan a family vacation, a honeymoon, or just something special for yourself.

Perhaps, labeling the photos would enable some not familiar with the location to
identify it better.

Fear of public speaking
doesn't have to be a fear
second only to death for you.

This helpful blog offers many good
ideas as to how to overcome that fear.

You'll be glad you took a look at this
colorful and helpful blog.


Some advice for speech preparation

  • generally, the best speeches make 3 main points
  • you should develp an attention-getting opening, think through transitions between points
  • and then you should have a conclusion that both recaps your 3 main points and calls for action, or makes a memorable conclusion for the audience to take home with them

Why is Fear of Public Speaking up there with Fear of Death
---and What Can Be Done to Change that Thinking?

1 Fear can be paralyzing or it can be a powerful stimulus to action

 2 New behavior such as public speaking is likely to project some fear, discomfort for most people, but that can be countered by remembering success at other new things one has accomplished. Focus on past successes.

3 Fear of most things is usually overblown and should not be allowed to occupy the mind. Refuse to give into the negative thinking. You can do that with practice, and you will feel so good about yourself once you succeed.

4 Even the most successful actors say they have some trepidation before the opening of a new show, but they channel that into stimulus into a sharper, more dramatic performance that appears effortless. You can do this too.

5 Finally, remember your first few times at public speaking is simply new behavior that will soon become more comfortable, that fear is often overblown in life because of new adjustments or behavior, and lastly many others successfully work through their fear of speaking and other things, and so can you. Practice, practice, practice.

Waterfalls Uplift


Waterfalls are spectacular, simultaneously beautiful,
uplifting, overwhelming and bringing such immediacy
into our minds.

There is no wondering about what the waterfalls were like
yesterday, no way to know what they'll look like tomorrow.
There will always be a shade of difference, a nuance noticed
or not, but to see them right now, in this moment in their
powerful splendor---that is the way to celebrate the present.
