It doesn't always go the way you want, and it doesn't always go the way it should, but it does always go. Success isn't easy, easily explained, or entirely predictable. Anyone who tries to paint too clear of a picture of their success is being a little misleading, albeit perhaps unknowingly. Here's the thing: it's…

In A Month of Italy: Rediscovering the Art of Vacation, I wrote about the accidental joy that resulted from poor Internet and cell phone connections. "Going dark" electronically was one of the biggest blessings of our "radical sabbatical." This topic seems to be gaining more and more momentum, as people everywhere are waking up to…

The following article comes from Jack Canfield, co-author of the record-breaking Chicken Soup for the Soul books (see the official credit at the bottom of this posting).

There is a simple step people can take to radically improve their lives. Most, however, will not do it.

All things in moderation, they say. Most of us would agree with that statement, at least in general. But who among us couldn't be convicted of extremism in at least one category or another? Consider cell phones and electronic means of communication, for instance. Statistics show that the average American checks his/her smart phone upwards…

I like lists. In my journal are several pages for listing things such as trips I've taken, books I've read, and quotes I like. One such list contains an eclectic collection entitled "Life Lessons." This consists of things I've learned through experience that could possibly have saved me from the experience in the first place!…

Watch this fascinating video and learn the power of controlling what your mind focuses upon and the lens through which you see the world around you.

My first view of it came from at least a mile away, across fields and woods and colored by a setting sun. The spires of the Biltmore mansion stood proudly in a group, sticking up above the pines and pointing into the sky. Even from such a distance, it looked enormous. I had tried once…
