"High Performance Living is the ongoing feeling of full engagement, joy and confidence that comes from consistently living your best self."  Brendon Burchard

Who doesn’t want more engagement, joy and confidence in their lives? I'm guessing we all could use a lot more of all three!

And not just bursts of these highly desirable states, but an 'ongoing feeling', or a state of living that persists over time. That is definitely something we would all love to achieve!

If someone asks you, "How ...

Sometimes things don't work out despite all of our best efforts. We plan, we prepare, we focus, and we do everything possible to lay a solid foundation for a successful outcome.

And then it doesn't work out. Or it doesn't happen at all.

And yes, it's painful. Yes. It's a bummer.

But it's also ok.

When things we strive for don't manifest into a real outcome, it's all part of a bigger foundation. A bigger achievement. A better outcome.

I'm not saying that 'things work out for the best', becau...

It's easy to forget what a miraculous gift we have in this thing called life. We are alive, we are breathing, we have options, we have opportunities.

My New Year's wish for all of you:

May you choose to see the best in yourself this year, and do ever...

With the New Year staring us down like a loaded gun, I'm personally feeling that all-too familiar pressure to figure out/or resolve how to do better in the upcoming new year.

I have been a perennial New Year's resolution maker. I have also been a consistent Spring Break quitter, (meaning I'm lucky if my resolution carries me as far as the melting snow). I'm a true believer in the power of taking stock, and revisiting what you have going on in your life, so that you can plan and make positive ch...

There is nothing so easily remade as the definitions of ourselves. - Dinaw Mengetsu

“People can’t change”

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks”

“You can’t change who you really are”

You’ve probably heard these more than once. But is this really true?

Are you really the same person you were 5 years ago?  Do you have the same challenges, dreams and ambitions that you did last year?

How about the way you approach life in general? Do you think the 20 year-old ‘you’ would be congruous wit...
