The Power of Taking Small Steps Every Day
The Taoist monk Lao Tzu once said, “The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step.” This principle can be transferred into any area of life if you understand the power behind this thought.

How to Prevent Postponing Your Own Happiness

I must have heard a thousand people tell me multiple times, “I’ll be happy
as soon as….” These good-hearted individuals think happiness is
something that will come to them in the future when a condition changes.
Consequently this type of thinking is a false reality.
Since the beginning of time, Happiness has been studied. There are
different types of happiness and different levels of happiness. One
thing is for sure, happiness feels good, and it is something all of us seek
regularly.

Freedom to Do What You Want to Do
I often tell people, the caged bird is only confined until it discovers the door is open. The same with people, we feel free, when we discover how much more freedom we actually have.

John came to me as a client because he recently got a promotion at work, and wanted to do something with the additional income. He thought the session would only cover his finances but we discovered something much more urgent that...

Life Coaching: Set Yourself and Others Free
“Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor. It must be demanded by the oppressed.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion. Decide on what you want your life to be and become it today. Settle for nothing less than exactly what you want and the universe will conspire to assist you.
If you’re considering being a life coach, it’s time to set yourself free and lead as many peop...

Respond to Life, Don’t React
I often say that we should respond to life and not react to it. What’s the difference?
Let’s say you go to the doctor for an ailment and the doctor gives you some medicine to take home. One week later you visit the doctor for a follow-up visit. Which would you rather have the doctor say about the results of the medication?
That you’re reacting to the medicine?
Or
You are responding to the medicine?
Of course the latter is more comforting to hear because this indicat...

The Power of Resolve
by Dr. Michael J. Duckett

When you get to that type of resolve, it’s not wishful thinking. It’s causative action. We cause what we want to occur in ou...
