Brummet's Conscious Blog

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Reaction is something that happens automatically, you are not thinking about it. …You can change that and it is really not that difficult but first we must become aware of it. Before we can improve our life and really live it to the fullest we really need to become aware of the area we are not happy with… and we need to take full responsibility for ourselves – and only ourselves .” Striving for Purpose - Barbara Hofmeister –Oct 3 Today's quote was taken from the Striving for Purpose interview that aired back on Oct 3 via the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show - click on the hyper-linked show title to access this interview, or look to the sidebars on this blog for recently aired episodes. -- Chatter -- As many of you are already aware, I try to take 3 days in a row off from the office each month... - not an easy task when the office is located in the home. So today is one of the two days that I can afford to take off, the first in nearly 45...

 -- Quote of the Day --  Re: Writing Schedules:   “ I must behave rather as dogs do when the  retire with a bone,  they depart in a secretive manner  and then you do not see them again for an odd half hour.  They return self-consciously  with mud on their noses.  I do much the same. ”   ~ Agatha Christi This is kind of how I feel today, in fact. I just completed a blog interview piece that will be published later in the month and some of the behind-the-scenes set-up for a radio interview later this week... and once I've completed a form for my publisher I'm off to work on Book #2 of the Trash Talk - It's Easy To Be Green series.  Sometimes I wake up in the office from the daze I am in and realize the real world is a bit hazy and out of focus. A little shake of the head, some sunshine and fresh air and I feel a little more "human", and able to function with the rest of you! lol -- Conscious Discussions Talk R...

Be what nature intended you to be And you will succeed ." ~ Sydney Smith  -- Conscious Discussions Radio -- Today's guest was unable to call in on time so we offered a Positive Eco-News episode for our listeners.

-- Quote of the Day -- “When you are doing what you are meant to do there is this feeling of flow – that you are doing something that is so second nature to you that hours can go by and you don’t even realize it. …The thing that small business owners will always be able to do a thousand times better than larger ones is relationships with customers. …One of the things that happen for everybody is that we try something and feel it failed, but we need to see it as feedback. …We can learn from and adjust our business based on the feedback. …The thing that makes people fail in business is psychological, not knowledge. Knowledge can be found, support can be found. …It is also challenging psychologically to bounce back from something that you really wanted to work and didn’t. …To run a business you really have to understand what part is your part - we can do the footwork, but we can’t control the results. So let me do my footwork and then let go of what happens.” ~ Dec 15, ’09 – Christy Stra...
