Yesterday I watched an past episode of Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday. It featured Bishop T.D. Jakes speaking about how to use our time effectively. I found myself pondering something I often think about: How much could I do that truly fulfills my purpose here on earth if I just gave up all the things I [...]
Are You Pursuing Your Passion?
May 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I’m a big proponent of pursuing your passion. I work with a lot of writers and I’m always telling them to combine their passion with their purpose to get inspired and write their books (and publish them or get them published). I also work with other people who simply want to create better results in [...]
Is Your Work a Labor of Love?
March 8, 2012 By Leave a Comment
All day almost every day–about 15-7–I labor. When I’m not at my desk or in front of my computer, I think about my work. And guess what? Most of this time no on even pays me. So why do I do it? I love what I do (or most of what I do). I’ve wanted [...]
What You Get Done When You Press Your Nose to the Grindstone
June 21, 2011 By Leave a Comment
I haven’t been writing much lately on this blog…not from lack of desire. It’s because I’ve had my nose to the proverbial grindstone. It’s been a good thing, though. For quite some time I’ve been complaining that I can’t get anything done. Then two things happened. I needed to get some things done on deadline, [...]

When you get up and speak about yourself and your services, how can you guarantee the audience “gets” that you are being “real”? There’s a formula that [...]
Have You Lost Your Mojo?

Do you feel like you have lost your mojo? Do you no longer have that special something that makes you glow, feel electric, energized, happy, turned on, and in the flow? Is your magic gone? I’ve been feeling like that for a while now. As I spoke to a friend she mentioned that she thought [...]
The Things That Give Us a Reason to Live

I visited my 86-year-old mother this past weekend. She was depressed and upset because her dog has contracted Lyme disease and possibly also hurt its back. The dog isn’t eating and can’t walk well; it has lost control of one of it’s hind legs. My mother, also, seems to have lost her appetite. That dog [...]
Discovering Spirituality in My Work
May 8, 2010 By Leave a Comment
I’ve always known that the writing and speaking I do in the area of human potential and personal growth contains an element of spirituality. Of course, my writing and speaking on the topic of Judaism, Kabbalah, and practical spirituality has a spiritual nature as well. I never saw the spiritual nature of my work as [...]
Reveal Your Passion and Your True Self
March 13, 2010 By 4 Comments
I gave a talk this past week to 55 people. Most people gave me good reviews; a friend said he didn’t think I shared my true self or my passion.He wanted me to do a better job of revealing myself to the audience. He felt disappointed that they didn’t get to know “me.” Two days [...]
