Worry can be very destructive to our emotional well being and those of our loved ones. A lot of people worry constantly about their past errors and their future; this is rarely productive and may lead to inaction and procrastination. Learn from the past and influence the future by taking decisive action today.

My main point to all of this is we can change our thinking and change our lives. We can learn new things to change our thinking. We don't need to give up hope that we will always be like this. Change the things you don't like about yourself. Do it today.

Take a look at your choices over the years. If you do what's "hard" today - choosing a new way of making decisions - then life will be "easy" tomorrow! All you have to do is shift the way you make decisions, from a focus on the short-term, to a focus that prioritizes the longer-term. How would it feel to know that every decision you make is in alignment with the future life you want to enjoy?

A vision guides you in your career. It gives your life and work meaning. If you are working 8+ hours a day and feel stuck, learn how thinking about your dream can help to ou move forward or to make a career change.

So, we're wealthier than ever and have amazing blessings. So tell me: do you feel abundant? I bet you don't, and that's OK. How we feel is, to a very strong degree, a choice. Psychotherapy and personal growth are empowering, because they seek to give us benevolent dominion over our selves and our lives.

I remember being fat and walking into a room thinking, "everyone is looking at me and all they can think about is that I'm fat." But the truth is, it was true. I have the body I want now. I never had the confidence I do now when I was fat.

If you are standing at a major midlife crossroads, you may well feel that all roads lead to crisis. The reality however, can be very different -- once we recognize the right signs to follow, they can guide us all the way to brand new opportunities.

Persistence and perseverance. Those words imply ACTION. Those words are two of the most important for your success.

Does this often happen to you: You are handed a task or project straight after lunch that you have to complete by the end of the day. No later. What do you do? Do you mumble, groan or perhaps even curse under your breath? Do you think, How on earth can I get this done?

"And I loved the whole idea behind the story, which is that you're beautiful, so don't let other people tell you that you're not just because you don't look like the people in magazines. Or because you're not that weird ideal body image that's out there right now."
