People often search for both an easy definition of success — and an easy way to achieve success. What I like about today’s quote is it’s an easy definition of success — and a reality check on how you become successful. If there’s one thing I’ve learned along the writing road — and believe me, I’ve learned a lot more than …
Have you looked in the mirror today? Who — or what — was staring back at you? Stop. Don’t just rush past that last question. It’s the entire point of today’s post. Close your eyes for a minute and think: Who — or what — are you using as a mirror? Mirrors. They’re all about approval. Does my hair …
With all due respect to Mr. Howe, I don’t think friends mean to annoy us when they ask, “Is there anything I can do?” when times are troublesome. Most often, they are sincere in their desire to help.

Sometimes when I tell another person how oh-so-very busy I am … well, I’m hoping they don’t hear the hint of pride in my voice. I’m a busy, busy person. That must mean I have a life worth living … a life of significance … that oh, maybe, I’m important somehow? (And now I’m shaking my head as I think: You’re …
When I was I child … somedays all I wanted to be was grown up. And now, when older is, well, at least a bit wiser, I would go back and tell younger-me to slow down. Don’t be in such a hurry to lay claim to adulthood — because once you’re all grown up, there’s no going back. As a …
Sometimes the Friday blog post seems to call out for a Dr. Seuss quote. That was true last night as I pondered today’s post … and the “good fun” quote seemed perfect.
