What do George Clooney, Della Reese, Gary Busey, Barbara Mandrell, Bob Woodward, and Fantastic Frank Johnson have in common?
July 19, 2013,2:23 pm
George Clooney, Della Reese, Gary Busey, Barbara Mandrell, Bob Woodward, and Fantastic Frank Johnson have all had some form of a brain injury.
Della Reese, had a hemorrhagic stroke in the middle of singing Pieces of Dreams on Johnny Carson’s Tonight Show in 1979. An aneurysm burst in her brain, bringing her to her kneed and then unconscious on stage. Gary Busey, had a serious head injury in 1988 during a motorcycle accident. He was not wearing a helmet. A friend saved his life by pressing on a hole in his head until help arrived. After a critical operation that night, couldn’t talk, walk, or swallow. Barbara Mandrell, suffered a head injury during a 1984 car accident in which her two children were told at the scene that she was dead. The 19 year old driver of the other car died. She wrote of her survival in her autobiography Get to the Heart: My Story. Bob Woodward, suffered severe head injuries in 2006 from a roadside bomb, despite wearing a helmet. He was traveling with the Iraqi Army unit as a reporter. Fantastic Frank Johnson suffered a traumatic brain injury when he was trapped in a fire. My point is that any one.. that is ANY ONE can become a member of the largest group of minorities in the United States at any time, which is people with disabilities. It does not have to be a brain injury, I just chose these celebrities because I can identify with every one of them!

Lows and Highs – When to End a Relationship
July 1, 2013,5:41 pm
One way to measure relationship issues is to take a look at the highs and lows. You can do this in every area of your life – friends, girlfriends, business associates, food, activities… everything. There are a lot of different opinions on what a “healthy relationship” is, or when to end a relationship. A big red flag that you are not in a healthy relationship is if the “lows” are lower than the “highs” are high. If this is the case, it may be time to get out! Otherwise, the lows keep getting lower, and you never quite hit those same highs, and eventually, that relationship will just eat you and your happiness and all of your potential right up. Before you jump ship, here are some things that may turn things around: 1) Pay more attention to the highs and lows, so that you can notice triggers and take preemptive action before the fluctuation in the relationship is so extreme that it spirals out of control. 2) You can change you state by changing what you focus on. Visualize your situation getting better. You can use the Ho’oponopono prayer: I am sorry 3) You can inform the person nicely that things are not going well, and you may want to use an intermediary person to assist you in communicating what is happening in the relationship. 4) Be honest with the person with whom you are having the challenges. If it is no longer working, they may also already have felt similar feelings of loss, and may be ready to leave or end the relationship as well. Don’t be surprised. 5) Use a mentor or higher confidant, who is immune to these kind of situations, and can thereby coach you, or role model for you, to be above this kind of petty and often destructive behavior.

Exponential Personal Growth and Albert Einstein
June 19, 2013,11:27 am
“Exponential growth” is when something explodes in size. This is what happens to the size of an investment (or debt) when interest is compounded over a number of years. Albert Einstein said: “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it… he who doesn’t, pays it.” This axiom is a great fit for personal growth, in that taking a small step in the direction of moving your life forward will have big returns down the road. Likewise, taking a small step in a direction that degrades you can contribute to a downward spiral. Here are some very worthwhile “investments” that will “compound” personal growth in the upward direction:
1) Belief in your Goal. 2) Passion and Commitment 3) Surround oneself with the correct Resources 4) Perseverance 5) A big enough reason Why 6) A Never Give Up Attitude 7) Accountability Add to this list to make it your own! As you go through your day, take your steps with the awareness that they will compound your future. |
There is a fantastic Albert Einstein quote on compound interest that can be applied to our lives so that personal growth becomes exponential growth.“From Flawed to Fantastic” now available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble!

Failure Leads to Success
June 11, 2013,11:53 am
It is good to regularly take stock of where you are in meeting your goals, which represent your idea of success. In doing so, you may look back over the last 5 years or so. You may inadvertently look at the length of time it has taken you to get to the point you are at, together with the resources of time, money, and energy which you have invested. You may feel disheartened, or even depressed, by a lack of more instantaneous progress. If this describes you – remember the phrase “10 Year Overnight Success.” There are countless stories of people whose apparent “overnight success” was founded on 10 years of extraordinary hard work. Once at the top, the pass on these pearls of wisdom: “Failure Leads to Success.” Here are some quotes, to inspire you when you need a boost: “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” – Colin Powell “The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” – Sven Goran Eriksson “Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, insasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.” – John Keats
