  The Secret to Blossoming in Life   Attitude, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (0)

  This month’s theme was “Stop and Smell the Flowers”. Earlier in the month I posted on High Velocity Culture and the Future of Slowness. My inspiration for that post was the fact that we can not stop and smell the flowers unless we are deliberately going slow in life. Today I’d like to explore the [...]

  Care & Feeding Writers’ Blocks   Attitude, Productivity, Success (1)

  Searching around for a new slant on writer’s block to post on the Orkut community I manage, I found Writers First Aid by Kristi Holl. She suggests that treatments for writer’s block must fit the ailment. She says, “If you can’t identify the origin of your block, treating it is impossible.” One of the causes [...]

  The Manifestation of Intention: How to Properly Care for and Feed Your Ideas   Productivity, Success (4)

  I’ve been thinking “ideas and intentions” over the past two days. I once read a quote that I’ve enjoyed requoting over the years. I don’t know who gave us the quote (might have been some wise wag like Socrates, Aristotle or Plato) but here it is: “A new idea is delicate. It can be killed [...]

  L-U-C-K   Attitude, Growth, Inspiration, Success (1)

  What is “luck” anyway? I have been taught a few ways to look at luck that have served me well. Perhaps they will serve you as well.
  First is as an acronym, Living Under Correct Knowledge. What most people perceive as chance some others feel as if it should be expected. This latter group [...]

  How to Make Good Luck?   Attitude, Success (1)

  My attitude toward luck, in recent years, gravitated toward the quotation Larry Hendrick provided a few days ago:  “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” He attributed it to Elmer G Letterman.  I don’t know who this Letterman is, but I remember reading a similar notion in a little pamphlet about luck more than [...]

  Green & White Snow

  Originally uploaded by shersteve.

  Yes, preparation will create opportunities. Doors will open when you are ready to recognize them.
  It does require work. Like today, New England is digging out from a good ol’nor’easter that dropped about 8″ of white snow here and more or less [...]

  …the Luckier I Get   Success (0)

  I enjoyed Patrick’s article yesterday titled Make your own Luck?
  Luck is a word that conjures up a lot of emotions in people depending on how they define the term. I personally don’t believe in what I’ll term dumb luck, and as a Christian, agree with Patrick in his assessment.
  Patrick’s article brought two quotes to mind. [...]

  Make your own Luck?   Success (1)

  The theme for March is “Make your own luck”. The statement in itself is quite the oxymoron but lets explore the statement further. First of all I need to upfront say I am a Presbyterian and adhere to the principles of “reformed theology”. One of the major tenants is “God is in Control” and [...]

  That Wonderful, Terrible Word   Attitude, Growth, Inspiration, Productivity, Success (6)

  [The scene fades-in, accompanied by the sound of old door hinges creaking] We see a dim, high-ceilinged, stone-walled room. An ancient wooden writing desk in the foreground has a corroded brass candlestick with a nearly exhausted, sputtering candle that glows feebly, providing just enough light to see. All visible walls are covered by tall carved [...]
