1. Endings Are Beautiful Too
   Endings Are Beautiful TooHelaine Iris© 2003“To be able to look at change as an opportunity to grow--that is the secret to being happy.” Joan LundenAs I stepped outside this morning for my daily power walk the brisk October air braced my cheeks. The deep, fragrant aromas of wood smoke and dying leaves; autumn in New England filled me with an unexpected joy and appreciation for the season. I looked around at the spectacular, vivid color of the trees. My sneakers kicked through the crinkly red, ora…



2. Give The Wrong Words An Inch And They May Take A Mile!
   What do you do when circumstances seem out of control? What's the first thing you look for? Or Whom? What immediately runs through your mind? Do you yell? Do you curse? Do you go bow up your back like a porcupine getting ready for all out war?By Word Of Mouth!There is something that every one of us has been taught to do since we were born and yet so few people know how to control it.

5. TURNING THE IMPOSSIBLE INTO THE POSSIBLE
   When the Wright brothers pronounced that they would be the first humans to fly, many people said that humans could and would never fly. 'This time, they carried the glider almost to the top of Big Kill Devil Hill. 'Ready?' asked Orville. 'Ready,' replied Wilbur from his prone position. Safely in the air, Wilbur warped the wings. There was an instant response and Wilbur glowed with joy. But as the glider curved, he became aware of a new instability. He adjusted the controls, There was little resp…



6. Fear of Forever
   Have you ever found yourself with a goal in your line of vision yet unable to cross the last ten yards to the finish line? There doesn't appear to be anybody or anything in the way to stop you, and yet you just can't seem to take the final leap and get where you want to be. I've often wondered about this phenomenon and there are probably as many reasons for this as there are people. Fear of failure, fear of success, fear of disappointment, actually, a whole bunch of fears. And when the goal is i…

8. Top Ten Best Excuses To Not Use The Time Of Your Life
   “Time is on my side, yes, it is!” Each time I think of time, Mike Jagger’s melody enters my mind… For me it is a song, for another a tragedy. What is time, that it consumes so many of us; how much of it we have, how little, what to do with it, how to conjugate it? The following “human reasons” are offered as the clever and humorous making of our mind time machine…1. I don’t have any! Time is generally viewed as a measurable device. We are saving it, spending it, clocking it, wasting it, investin…



9. *****Not Fulfilled? Create Your Own Business*****
   Why Create Your Own Business?

Not wanting to dwell on myself, I must in fairness must give you an indication of where 'I am coming from' and why I feel so keenly about helping people who are looking at the prospects for going into business on their own account.I trained as an engineer and worked initially in Research…

13. Grasso, Kennedy, Frost, Public Service and You
    “Something we were withholding made us weak/Until we found out that it was ourselves,” wrote Robert Frost, in “The Gift Outright.” Frost recited this poem at John F. Kennedy’s inauguration in 1961. With the words, “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what American will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man,” John F. Kennedy was sworn in as the 35th president…

15. Giving Up Too Soon
    So you feel beaten up and bruised and you're ready to quit. You have no support system or the one you have is pathetically inadequate for the goals you've set. You're so tired that the couch is looking more and more inviting everyday. You have bills piling up and you probably ought to get a real job anyway.

17. Sticktoitivity: Lessons Learned!
    Walt Disney coined a special phrase for persistence and determination, he referred to it as sticktoitivity. I reflected upon this recently, because I stumbled across 20 old business cards from previous business ventures and jobs I had been associated with over the last twenty five years. Those old business cards , certainly brought back a museum full of memories and mixed feelings. I had forgotten about some of those jobs that shaped my outlook as I pushed onward and upward. As I look back on al…

20. Goals and Beliefs - Chicken and Egg
    Tis the season to be jolly. Tis also the season to look back on the year that was, celebrate personal growth, victories and achievements and reflect on losses, misses and down right stuff ups. We individually reflect on the year that was; maybe in an MS Word generated letter to distant relatives and friends interstate or overseas, summarising how we did, who changed jobs, house moves, little Johnnie's cricket scores, the Grandkids new teeth and so on. How much different from last year is it? The…

22. The Pursuit of Happiness
    Imagine someone holding a glass full of clean, fresh water and complaining about thirst. Likely you'd suggest they first take a sip from the glass in their hand. Happiness is similar. Everyone wants to be happy, but not everyone knows how to recognize and stay with it; they're always looking for more. The search for happiness is lost when it becomes an insatiable pursuit for getting more. The difference between the two is like the difference between savouring and lingering over the sweetness and…



23. Why You Must Stay On Course
    “After speaking with a lot of people who are disappointed trying to make something out of their ‘passions’, Marquez Comelab releases his first of a series of articles, saying that despite the cycle of frustrations experienced by artists and entertainers, there are reasons why they should stay on course.”I believe that all of us want to express something: an idea, a theory, an opinion or a statement. I also believe that the majority of human beings would love to be creative in the expression of t…



24. Adjust Your Attitude and Expect Success
    If you’ve ever called me, you’ve heard my answering-machine message end with the words 'Expect Success.' There’s an important intent behind that. What if every time we made a phone call or personal request or met with a potential client, we expected we would be successful? Do you think our behavior would be different? It seems likely that if we had that confidence, we would make more phone calls, make more requests and schedule more appointments. And that would result in more business, more inco…
