Two Words that Can Create Havoc in Your Life (maybe for a long, long time?)
Years ago, in my late 30’s, I worked in commission sales. It was not in my temperament to be a salesman and consequently I hated my job. I did it only to make money to support my family. After 7 years in the business, I got to the point where every time I tried to […]

I’ve always thought that we live in a “Have-Do-Be” world, a culture in which many people are stuck in thinking that the more they have the happier they will be. But there is a catch; to have more, we “have-do” do more, to get what we want, to hopefully ‘be” in that happiness. The having […]
