The Final Push_A Countdown to the Transitional 2012

It's Black Friday and now there is a push of energy until the end of the year. Self assigned and socially instituted goals and timelines impact us all as we rush to the finish-whatever that finish may be. Maybe it's Christmas or the New Year. Maybe it's finishing projects that have been put in motion. Perhaps it's finishing up with a cycle. Regardless of the goal, here are a few tips that might help out in the final days of 2011.

Keep your cool.
If you get wound up or feel anxious and pressured, do things consciously to remind you to stay cool . It doesn't really matter what would potentially happen if you don't, it's what won't happen that matters here. You meeting your goal. Since everyone learns differently, think about your personality and what you respond to and get creative.
     For a:
     Physical person, get a stone or crystal that represents calm or happiness and keep it in your pocket everyday. Don't have a pocket? Keep it where you put your cell phone, you are bound to find it there.
     Visual person, put up a screensaver with the symbol that stands for focus or wealth and register what it means to you, say it out loud even, a few times a day.

Know what you want.
     You can't just do what feels right at the moment if you want to go to a particular place or feel a certain way. You also can't control the process. All you can do is decide where you'd like to go, imagine you are there and attempt to visualize and feel what it would feel like, then relax and trust in the process. Remind yourself periodically and keep on try to use the same or similar visualizations. 

Trust in the process.
     Yes, it was just mentioned, but this can be a difficult part. Know what the ultimate goal is and trust. Trust the universe and your environment to enable your success. Yes, you have to. No, it's not just because the all is more powerful than any individual part. It's because we are dynamic and complex individuals who require a multitude of energies and forces to do anything of magnitude. If you have a hard time:
     Remember back to a time when someone was there for you. That individual that was nice when you needed it or the person that pulled you through or out of a hard time. Dwell on it a while and pay attention to how it makes you feel. Thank your universe for always being there for you. It is.

Be kind.
     No matter your mood, your goals, your responsibilities or pressures, try to take into consideration that others have their internal anxiety as well. Be kind and help when possible and when it will not interfere with your goals. By focusing on your goals in this way, you realize how there really is a Virtue to Selfishness but only where it concerns your true core self. The little things are everything else. Enjoy your life, the good will come if you let it.

Give Thanks for Accomplishment.
Considering that we ask the universe for insight, assistance, mercy, justice and other things, it seems right that we also give thanks when we complete a task, finish up with a goal or feel fantastic in a moment. Let the feeling overcome you and say thanks to the many ways you are affected and the energy that went into it. For bonus points, breathe deeply and smile while saying your thanks.

A World of Life, or Why to Live is the Opposite of Evil

 Wow. This is getting tough.  Not the work of life. Not life. Those have always been tough. What's getting to be so tough that it's almost unbearable, is knowing what I can do for so many that are struggling, while having the fear of change, doom, climate, water, food... on and on until it grips people so hard, that they don't move. They can't hear that there are options. When they see them, they are so tired of being lied to or manipulated that even when they think something is good, the past won't let them open up their own future. Having solutions for people didn't start with the solution, for me. In my life, it was always about the people. When I was young, I wanted to be a lawyer, but I ended up in business. It was my mom, actually, who showed me the world of marketing. I had no idea I'd end up there, but I loved watching her mind work, he sessions with my dad that felt like they were on fire, even from the top of the stairs or through the vents, where

I love Memorial Day (and leave the BBQ's alone)

I love memorial day. I didn't used to think of it much and I BBQ all the time, so I'm not too impressed with all those cartoons running around. I love memorial day because I get to officially remember people, many of whom I think about consistently but It wasn't always this way. Remembering can be hard and (in my opinion) paying tribute to those memories are an individual choice. I was living away from my family, in Arizona and married to an individual that didn't prefer me having any connections to people outside of him. My grandmothers both passed away in this time and I was unaware. My grandmother in Florida was an adorable little woman when I got to know her as a young kid. From my mom's stories, I know it wasn't always that way. Grandma Gron had to be tough to live through my grandpa and I promise you, tough is an understatement. She raised three children and my mother is of the best I have the pleasure of knowing or to know or know of. I remember and c

Past My Limit or Internal Lies. Three tips on personal motivation.

Every time I say to myself that I have reached my limit or that I'm past my limit, I have the instant emotional response that it's just not true. Like most, throughout my life I've had a variety of experiences, some pretty harsh trials and many lessons in endurance and perseverance. Here's a few tips on how to keep going when you feel there is no possible way you can. 1. Ignore reality. Not completely, but in some ways ignore the elements that make you feel there is no way out. Relationships that are ending, finances that are drained and the faith of others in your talents that has just run out are all real and actual problems. In personal and professional realms, there are times when you just can't see moving forward nor feel you have the strength to do so. I suggest you ignore it a little and get out of your current perspective. I can recall the day I drove into Millcreek Broadcasting, a small Utah radio group, to apply for a job. At twenty two I hadn't h
