Why is there uncertainty, sickness, setbacks, betrayal and the haunting of the unknown that causes us such despair? Do you ever find yourself saying, “I don’t get it … I give up” when you’re feeling angry, frustrated or …
What is priority today? On my to-do list today is to finish up another section of my upcoming book, “50 Simple Ways to Release the Shackles of Self-Sabotage”, retrieve paperwork for the bookkeeper, pay bills, order my sister’s birthday gift, write my blog, take my car in for servicing, do laundry (I’m not around on …

Have you challenged yourself to write a personal mission, positioning, or vision statement? It’s amazing how such a simple exercise can take hours!
