 -- Quote of the Day --  "Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." ~ Mark Twain -- Really Great --  * Today's article was submitted by Monika Amar ( Director of Social Media with www.transmediagroup.com ) for her client: Dr. Shelley Plumb - a podiatric physician, certified Life Strategies coach, prominent speaker and founder of Plumb Talk Women .

-- Quote of the Day --    “If I were asked to give what I consider the single most useful bit of advice for all humanity, it would be this: Expect trouble as an inevitable part of life and when it comes, hold your head high. Look it squarely in the eye and say, ‘I will be bigger than you. You cannot defeat me.’” ~ unknown    Some time ago I was asked to write this article below that briefly outlines my  journey leading to where I am now in this wonderful maze we call "Life". The article is written in 3rd person and has been slightly updated...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand – and melting like a snowflake.”  ~ Marie Beyon Rey Defining and Seeking Out Passion Passion, as defined in the dictionary, refers to a powerful or compelling emotional feeling similar to desire, amorous love, and ardor. Passion can also go beyond the emotion, and into the intellectual passion of research, study, science, and discovery. No matter what the studies and experts might tell us – passion, or what we enjoy to do, is a highly tuned individual response, it can mean something different to any one person, and can change throughout our lifetime. Business studies have shown us that people will have higher performance, better efficiency, less sick days and are happier at work – if they are doing what they enjoy. At the same time if we become too involved in our passi...

-- Quote of the Day --  “What are we passionate about? What brings us Joy? What is going to make us happy? …So for all of us the answers will be different. …I am very strong on the side of giving people the opportunity to look at and list what they are up against and take that into account when they set their goals. …Some people will give up – they take what they have got as their lot in life. – Rather than paint the picture as an all or nothing, you know ‘I failed’ or ‘there must be something wrong with me’ is to do a clinical diagnostic: ‘what about this still matters to me; what really went wrong here; was there something I could have done differently’. …You are not doing this to beat up on yourself, but so that you can learn something. Look at this as a source of information. …I try to eliminate the word balance because it feels like we are taking time away from something in order to do something else. …Instead it should be more prioritizing what is mos...

-- Quote of the Day -- " I have not ceased being fearful,  but I have ceased to let fear control me.  I have accepted fear as a part of life specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown;  and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says:  turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far ."  ~ Erica Mann Jong -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio  -- Many of us have gone through stages in life where we just felt inadequate, that our belongings and achievements just are not enough, that our lives are lacking in some way… and more often then not – we also carry a huge burden of feeling out of control, overwhelmed, under-appreciated, taken advantage of, disrespected, etc. It doesn't have to be this way.  And today’s guest,  Nat Couropmitree , is here today to show us ways of shifting negative self-image and perceptions of our lives to a more positi...
