S:1517 Principle: Yeah, but…
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you more easily and more quickly.) We all have internal voices that speak to us. In secret. No one else hears them. Some are gentle and supportive. Some are harsh, judgmental, and demeaning. This S3MC is about a voice that is between those […]
S:1512 Principle: Present, Tense
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) This is not a grammar lesson about past tense, present tense, and future tense. This is about your state of being when you are present/here/now. Now is the only real moment. Past and future are mere mental constructs. However, […]
S:1503 Principle: Presence
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) You know how it feels when you are with someone you like?

S:1496 Principle: First Draft
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Writing is rewriting. What finally gets published has usually gone through many rewrites.

(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) A gentle jazz piece somehow found its way onto one of my playlists a couple of years ago. Always pleased with the sounds when it randomly pops up, but the title is what won’t let go of me – […]
S:1490 Principle: Wisdom
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Wisdom has no author. Wisdom exists. People we think of as wise are people who have tapped into a piece of wisdom waiting to be seen. Not created; wisdom is discovered. Like Pluto (the body-in-space-formerly-known-as-a-planet) existed without anyone’s help […]

(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Decisions – we make them constantly, usually unconsciously. Doings – cause results. Each moment is a result of decisions made and actions taken (doings). Decisions without doing and doings without thought rarely result in the outcomes we want. Firewood […]
S:1485 Principle: Enable
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied, cause success to come to you easier and quicker.) Enabling gets a bad rap. Usually because we think of someone enabling the unuseful behavior of another. Addictions and such. But consider what happens when you enable someone’s growth. When you see an attribute of theirs that they can’t […]
