Good to Better – Ann Justi

Most people want things to be the best. Being the best is about being better. Being better every day. Being better than yesterday. Being better even when circumstances change, or things don’t get better at first. Here are several ways to go from good to better. How good things are now. Look at macro and micro-moments to see how good things are now. What obstacles have you overcome, what major accomplishments (that you really wanted) have you achieved, and what wisdom have you gained from your experiences?  I use micro gratitudes every day to maintain a positive mood and outlook.  I am breathing, alive, I have food, shelter, the ability to move, think,  beauty to see, and all those things we take for granted, that parking space you got, all the people who make it possib...

The 5 Stages of Re-Inventing Yourself – Nicky Hassaballa

How many times have you ever said, ‘this year, I will….?’ Yet, that thing you talk about all the time and say you want so badly either never happens, or that initial excitement leads to a false start. We make these promises to ourselves because there is a voice within us, a knowing, that this thing must happen, go away, or change for our overall betterment. It’s not that we don’t want whatever it is that we promised, wished, or prayed for, but for some reason, it keeps eluding us and we are back in the loop of just falling short. Even me writing down these words took me a multitude of attempts to get to putting pen to paper.  I have the vision, the ideas, and maybe even the outline in my mind.  I continuously ask myself why it takes so long to really start?  The sym...

Fear into Desire into Action – Ann Justi

I used to have an overwhelming job doing technical operations which I responded to my day with fear: What was going to break next?, What deadline might I have to miss?,  How was this workload and schedule going to affect my relationships?, How am I going to get all this done?, etc. My desire was for no disasters and perhaps a day that wasn’t leaving me exhausted at the end. My action was to get as much done as possible and prioritize the situation hour by hour or even minute by minute. What a desire for a business of my own? It was too scary. It was too out of my reach because I didn’t know how to get there. It was too big. Add any of your own fears that you may have imagined for yourself. I finally reached a point where something had to give. I started a meditation practice. T...

My Journey to Limitless –  Uma Subramanian

Rising above our circumstances, recognizing our limitless potential, and living the life we want Flashback to July 2022, when I made the courageous decision to quit my full-time job, where I was heading two business groups, reporting to a C-Suite executive. It was not something I decided on a whim or an impulse – there had been growing feelings of being excluded, overlooked, and not taken seriously since I started reporting to this new manager. However, things reached a tipping point during an official meeting when I was blatantly disrespected and devalued in front of my peers. In the past, I would have likely been caught up in self-doubt and misery as I tried to figure out what went wrong; however, this time around, it felt different.  As soon as this happened, I knew that ...
