So here I am, working on a blog post about focus, and I get this feeling: “Hey dude, you’re not practicing what you’re preaching here, are you?” And I had to admit that, not only was I not being straight with myself, I had way, way, WAY too many projects all stacked up halfway between [...]

As you’ve suspected for a long time, success in anything – consistent success, at least – requires a certain few skills. Fortunately, they’re not all that hard to learn.
What is hard – what gets in the way for most people – is a reluctance to see oneself having those skills (sounds quirky, I know, but [...]

Nobody tells a story with the same flair as Susan Minarik of the HighonHappiness blog. This time it’s a true tale that actually happened to a friend of hers – a friend who was facing Christmas with no money and the prospect of telling her son there’d be no presents that year. I think you’ll [...]

Asking “How spiritual are you?” is not like asking how tall you are or how heavy. We haven’t yet developed methods or scales for measuring spiritual intangibles. So it’s more like asking “How funny are you?”
The answer to either of those questions will obviously vary, depending on whether it’s being answered by you or by [...]

Sometimes you do things ass-backwards and, against all expectations, they work better than if you’d done them “right.” Take this blog for example. I’d had the BullsEye since December 1994 – nearly five years – and after hundreds of articles, Google had awarded me the astounding page-rank of one.

Learning to understand and master life’s challenges is usually a matter of finding the right perspective… the viewpoint from which all the pieces are visible and their relationships obvious. Until we gain that proper perspective, we keep on misunderstanding, trying one inadequate solution after another, which of course fail to work.
But what if someone were [...]

We’ve heard a great deal about the positive attitude, the success mindset and the winning traits of a high achievement lifestyle. In fact, we’ve heard these things so often that we could probably reel off the whole long list of things we should be doing.
But mostly we aren’t doing those things.
So let’s try a different [...]

Dr. Joe Vitale is famous for stating that “Money likes speed.” This means that if we quickly jump into action, moving on our ideas and inspirations right away, rather than sitting and mulling them over, we tend to attract the cooperation of the Universe. And on a personal level, it not only helps us create [...]

The things we do every day without thinking about it, those are called habits. And it’s those little unthinking things that make or break our success efforts.
When you’re finished with one task on your to-do list, do you immediately move to the next, and then the next? Or do you stop, go for coffee, read [...]
