Wisdom to Share

Every day, people who once saw themselves as losers become winners.

Intention is not a one-off event, a graduation day on which you complete some prescribed curriculum and move on. It is more dynamic.

Good planning, whether in business or in your personal life, involves using a systematic process.

The “forever” makeover is indeed the Mount Everest of personal challenges

Change begins with making choices.

Let’s assume that you have made a leap of faith and believe that, “Yes, you can”. Your next step is to set the stage for success.

Willingness also depends on how much thought we’ve given to what it will take to reach our Intention.

Whether for good or evil, Intentions have a way of focusing people, galvanizing their energy, and prompting them to take action.

Unless you make up your mind that you are going to change your behavior permanently, you condemn yourself to forever rolling the same boulder up the same mountain.

Self-coaching begins with the thought: yes, I can.
