Self help is not mysterious. It’s not even difficult. It all boils down to a few commonsense things. Once you know these few things, there’s not much excuse for ever feeling helplessness, frustration, anger or fear ever again. First principle: Know what you want. Second principle: Know why you want it. With those two facts, [...]
When the mess hits the fan, what’s your standard reaction? Do you worry, obsess and panic? Or perhaps you don’t even wait for things to go wrong. Is worry your constant state of mind… just because you’re convinced something WILL go wrong? If you often find yourself with an oversupply of anxiety and frustration in [...]
Harmony is a good thing. And as human matters go, it’s a lot easier to reach than some goals… such as perfection. Even though harmony has varying degrees of attainment, however, it’s relatively easy to know when you have some and when you don’t.

These days, my emails bring me waves – floods – of launch announcements. And they all seem to come with free (but long and time-gobbling) videos, fortified by earth-shaking (cleverly retitled but same-ol’-same-ol’) systems.
