One year after Alexandra Scott was born in 1996, doctors diagnosed her with Neuroblastoma, a crippling, yet common form of childhood cancer. On her 4th birthday, she told her mother she wanted to start a lemonade stand to help other kids with similar conditions. Alexandra’s mother was a busy woman, but she saw the fire in her daughter’s eyes and agreed to help her. The idea proved successful, igniting a
Work-Life Balance – it sure sounds good, but what exactly is it and how do you get it? Work – life balance is the dynamic interaction between ‘work’ and ‘life’. ‘Work’ is those tasks you must do to keep your life functioning – paid or unpaid, inside or outside of the home. And ‘life’ is those things you do for your own personal fulfillment – the things you really enjoy
According to www.dictionary.com, the origin of the word “impact” comes from the Latin word impingere, which means “to push against.” The online dictionary has three definitions of impact that relate directly to the concept of leadership impact: 1) “influence; effect,” 2) “the force exerted by a new idea, concept, technology, or ideology,” and 3) “the power of making a strong, immediate impression.” Whether you see yourself as a leader or
‘When you’re in a Slump, you’re not in for much fun. Un-slumping yourself is not easily done.’ ~ Dr. Seuss So you’ve tried it all, motivational tapes, books, mentoring and even some new age healing and you still find yourself stuck. It happens to the best of us. Everything’s going smoothly with life until ‘BAM!’ our progress hits the wall and comes to a crashing halt. We become wracked with
The world is splitting apart, and young Eep is running toward a new, adventurous life. Every step she takes is perilous and fraught with danger as the earth crumbles all around her. Behind her is the dark cave she’s always called home. Ahead of her is tropical beach that’s just out of reach. Her father shouts, “Don’t go! It’s too dangerous! Listen to your fears!” Meanwhile her new friend, Guy,
We humans love pattern. Our brains thrive on repetition and routine. Making changes or taking a new direction can sometimes seem frightful to the point of paralysis. However, lucky for us, all it takes is one step to lay the foundation for a new pattern. One more step and the pattern is established. Then momentum (and hopefully your sense of responsibility) takes over to carry you forward. Think about anything
Every day, people buy too much stuff, eat too much food, and waste away their hours chasing after happiness…to no avail. They may find excitement or satiation, but TRUE HAPPINESS still eludes them. Fortunately, happiness is really inexpensive and pretty simple to find, but that doesn’t mean that it comes easily. However, if you’re bold, and truly willing to commit to a few simple steps, happiness will be yours. Try
Most of us have heard about the fight or flight response to fear, but what many don’t know is that the most common response to a frightening situation is freezing. Even the smallest fears can immobilize you, stopping your progress dead in its tracks, and the fear of failure can be one of the most crippling you’ll ever face. After all, experience has shown that you’re not afraid of a
If you are letting fear of missing the goal keep you from taking chances that could change your life forever, then you are missing out on WAY too much. See, you weren’t born to live your life just drifting along. You were born for greatness…and you know it. You can feel it down deep in your bones…so why are you holding back? I’m sharing this poem with you so you
For most of your life, you will encounter challenge and opposition. You want to go on vacation, but there’s a stack of bills that need to be paid first. You want to get to work on time, but there’s unexpected construction on your usual route. This is the way life goes…and it can be AMAZING if you know how to handle it. Opposition gives you something you can work with.
