Seeing is Believing; Believing is Achieving

To find a business idea, we’re often told to search for a problem and offer a solution. One simply needs to find out what people really need and offer it to be wildly successful.

We could cast blindly about in search of some novel product or service that we believe people need, and […]

About a week or two ago, I was browsing the blogosphere, being entertained and informed by various pearls of wisdom when I came across a post called the Think Differently Challenge.
The author talked about the constant rain, something he disliked about where he lived and consciously went through the process of creating new thought about […]

My long awaited package arrived today. Inside were two books, one of which I’ve been waiting years for. I can remember finishing the book before this one. The tension I felt as the conflict in the story grew, the bitter disappointment as the book wound to a close but the story did […]

You stand before the judge and your eyes nervously scan the room.  Friends, family and co-workers line the room.  The faces of people you only vaguely recognize join them.  You start in surprise to notice the face of a beggar you regularly pass as you hurry from one place to another.

They have the power to make a wish come true
When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires will come to you
If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star […]

    “The heights by great men reached and kept,
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they, while their companions slept,
Were toiling upward in the night.”

Respect yourself and others.
Learn to truly love yourself and […]
