My youngest daughter’s club volleyball team is heading out for a weekend tournament. Three days of nonstop competition. Three days to see teamwork in action — win or lose –and oh, how we hope for wins! But I’ve learned watching CJ’s team that a day is successful if the team plays well no matter what the score is at the …
I admire persistent people. People who don’t quit. People who face failure with a “you don’t have the final say about me” attitude. Did you know that Walt Disney — who created “the happiest place on earth” — was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas”? How about Winston Churchill, who won a …
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 …
Oh, the waiting games we play. The I’m-not-ready games. The let-me-practice-a-little-longer games. The let-me-read-one-more-book-or-attend-one-more-conference games. The you-go-ahead-of-me games. We can stall … and practice … and puff ourselves up with knowledge … and even be polite and let someone else proceed ahead of us to success … but we’re missing out on our lives. Our dreams. Correction: Our dreams coming …
I don’t know about you, but there are days when life feels simple … and then there are days when life is nothing but a snarl of complications. Today I’m going with Leonardo da Vinci’s “Life is simple” view of things. Why not? If a true Renaissance man like da Vinci — a painter, sculptor, inventor, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, …
Ah, advice. We love giving others advice — often with a “take it or leave it” qualifier. But when it comes to hearing and accepting advice from someone else? That’s not always so easy, is it? Maybe I’m the only one with the virtual deflector shields of “I know what I’m doing” and “I can figure this out on my …
I don’t know about you, but I’ve looked for various forms of success for a lot of my life. One of the earliest forms of success started way back in grade school spelling bees … and I’m still wrangling with words in pursuit of success. I don’t know about you, but I’ve always hoped that success would be found, well, …
People like to talk about success — they like to bandy about different definitions for it. Success is this. Success is that. And they’re all usually talking about something as far from failure as you can get. I’ve been reading Alton Gansky’s book Imagination @ Work. (Alton’s a friend and a colleague. I admire him. Even if I didn’t know …
I am a one-word woman. It’s been years since I made a New Year’s resolution — much less kept one. I mean, how can I keep a resolution when I can’t find my nice, new list that I wrote up oh-so-carefully? 2014 will be the ninth year that I focus on one word for twelve months. And yes, I know …
