ANGRY PEOPLE PULL MORE ANGER
May 25, 2023 by

BETTER LIFE BEGINS WITH _____
March 31, 2023 by
A better life begins right where you are, not over there. Or there, or there, but right where you are, which might be the reason change is so hard. The funniest thing I’ve heard about making a change is, “We haven’t done anything and we’re fresh out of ideas.” But that’s not you? Let’s be […]
FIXERS FIX THINGS, BROKEN OR NOT
February 9, 2022 by
Do you believe fixers fix what’s broken and improve what’s not broken? You should, after all, you’re one of them, aren’t you? If not, give it some time. You will join the group eventually. We all have that fixer gene, and know who to call when it proves defective. For example:
