“It Takes Teamwork to Make The Dream Work.” -Christopher Howard
I don’t usually like sports analogies, mostly because they tend to be overused, but today this analogy will help you see your friends differently. Think of a basketball game, a hockey game, or a soccer game. How often do you see one person alone score the winning goal? It usually takes a whole team to make a goal. Whether or not you witness the domino effect that each member plays in the game, they were there for each other and they contributed to that goal. This same phenomenon applies to your life too.
Unsupportive Friends and Family
Everyone has support groups, whether they know it or not. Your support group is that core set of people in your life who influence you and help you out. Your support group can be made up of family members, friends, acquaintances and coworkers. Sometimes your support group is not as supportive as you might like.
I have often noticed this happening when it comes to dieting and weight loss. Oftentimes when a woman decides to go on a diet, her friends or family members will be less than supportive. They might joke and tell her that she’ll be back to eating chips and chocolate cake in no time. Or that she will never last more than 15 minutes at the gym. Continue reading »

Learning to Say No Again
When it comes to people who are interested in spirituality, the law of attraction and other self-help topics, I have noticed a strange pattern. It seems that these people appear to outsiders as being more soft and this therefore results in them being exploited more. I don’t know about you, but I often find myself agreeing to do things for other people that I really don’t want to do. You might think that there’s a very simple solution to being in this predicament, and there is. Just say no. We all know this word, but sometimes mustering up the courage or the backbone to say it can be tough.
How many times have you given in to a request to babysit someone’s kids when you were already busy. I’ve done that. How many times have you agreed to proof read someone’s resume (essay, dissertation, etc). Ditto. How many times have you let yourself invite someone who was pressuring you over for dinner? Ditto, ditto. How about pushy sales people who make you feel like you are getting a bargain and then add some hidden costs, while you feel obligated to finalize your purchase despite this fact. Ditto, ditto, ditto. What about tele-marketers calling during dinner? I think you get the picture.
Well this is where all of these push-over tendencies stop. Let us explore a bit more of this “yes-sir” type of mentality before I explain how I plan to stop saying yes to every request thrown at me. Continue reading »

Accepting The Source Of Your Income

Starting from a young age, we are taught that we need to work hard, get a job and earn our money. This mentality is great to motivate youth to get off the couch and develop a little bit of ambition. The downside of teaching everyone that they need to work hard to earn their income is that it develops a scarcity mentality. It also causes us to think that the only way for us to create income in our lives is to work harder or to generate it by adding a second or third job into our already busy lives. This type of “work is the only way to get money” thinking can also lead people away from their true purpose in life, their true passions
One clear example of this type of narrow mindedness came about in my own life. I was always taught that in order to be successful I needed a lot of money, and therefore that meant that I needed to get a very high paying job and work grueling hours. And I did. I got several high paying jobs and worked upwards of 60 hours per week, despite still being enrolled in school in a co-op program. It was all great for awhile because I believed that I had reached my “success goal” and that I was finally successful because my income was coming from a high paying job. But then things started to unravel, as they are so likely to do in such situations. My health got worse and I started to loose my hair, my acne flared up and I was always tired. My relationships suffered immensely because I had to move away from my boyfriend, my friends and family. Continue reading »
