Defining Healthy Relationships
Defining Healthy Relationships
The quality of your life is a direct result of your relationships.
Whether it's a personal, professional, or business relationship. There are three ways to play the relationship game. There is only one way to win.
1) All relationships begin with two independent individuals. If you remain independent, you will never connect.
2) Some relationships become co-dependent. Developing this kind of relationship means losing individuality. Isn't that what attracted you in the first place?
3) The correct way is to merge your skills, passions, and individuality. That creates an interdependent relationship.
The strength of an individual The power of a team. It doesn't get any better than that.

Break The Rules For More Productivity
Break The Rules For More Productivity
Getting the most out of your day is a personal thing.
Do you impose impossible and unenjoyable scheduling on yourself?
It might be time to forget the rules. Frankly, your friends, family, and society don't always know what is best for you.
Why go to the gym at 5 AM if that doesn’t work for you?
Is checking your email the first the morning a bad thing? What if you like getting it out of the way first thing?
You will be happier and more productive when you schedule in a way that fits your natural rhythm. You’ll also make a lot of folks jealous of your lifestyle.
You’ll be more productive when you accept that life is too short to listen to everybody else’s rules. Do what feels right and works for you.

Producing More Productivity
Producing More Productivity
Are you find yourself needing to get more done? You might consider creating more productivity.
The first rule of being more productive is deciding what is important to you. The second rule is to take control of your day.
A few simple adjustments can change everything:
1) Say, “Yes” to yourself before you say it to others. Meetings, phone calls, casual conversations. If that doesn’t work, say “No” to anything not currently on your list.
2) Control where you focus your attention. Including incoming communication like email and social media. Avoid being recruited onto someone else’s To-Do list.
3) No matter how much control you gain, interruptions are always around. You may as well expect, plan, and allow time for them.
4) Only schedule 50% of your schedule. That will allow time for the unexpected. If nothing shows up, stay focused on what you need to complete.
5) Multi-tasking is a myth. If possible, finish one task before the next. You cross the finish line sooner.
What happens next? EVERYTHING! Keep moving forward, and you’ll get everything you want.

How Happy People View The World
How Happy People View The World
Did you know that happy people view the world differently?
They don't wear rose-colored glasses. They have a better way:
1) Happy people accept that life brings problems.
2) Happy people recognize that problems are a privilege that comes with being alive.
3) Happy people get frustrated, but don't give up. Problems are normal.
4) Happy people accept responsibility for solving problems.
5) Happy people deal with anything life throws at them, get a good night's sleep, and do it all over again.
I wonder?
If you view problems with a positive attitude - was there ever a problem? That'll get you thinking.

Resist and It Will Persist
Resist and It Will Persist
Is there something in your life that you are resisting?
The old saying, "What you resist will persist" is always at play. It is a potent force in both enhancing and debilitating ways.
In my life, I have learned the root cause of anything I resist is either fear of change or misdirected focus. Others say, "You haven't learned your lesson."
In any case, the solution has always been:
1) Identify the unwanted issue that is persisting.
2) Identify what you want instead of the problem issue.
3) Summon the courage to give up the fight. Accept that you have learned the lesson being taught. Close the door as soon as possible.
What you resist will persist. Sometimes the only way to win the fight is to give up the fight.

Being a Minimalist Might Not Make You Happy
Being a Minimalist Might Not Make You Happy
I’ve always believed that less is more. A less complicated life is a good life.
If that’s the case, you would think that in an age of tiny homes and minimalist attitudes everybody would be as happy as a clam.
Over the years, I’ve learned happiness can be hidden somewhere within the stuff that makes up our crazy life. When you get rid of your stuff - you get rid of something that makes you happy.
Is it possible that the things you love to complain about also make the happiest?
Here’s a simple rule.
If something in your life is making you happy, keep it. When it stops making you happy, drop it. If in doubt, don’t worry about it. You’ll figure it out.
