Persistence is a boring but necessary virtue. You might not think anything is changing in your career life or love life, but if you are persistent you will eventually see change. Remember! True failure only happens when you abandon your quest. Keep on questing!

Living in the past is like driving forward while staring in the rear view mirror.     Believing is seeing.     Be an over-fright success story.     One's actions convince louder than one's words.     Make progress. Make new mistakes.     All work and no play makes Jill want to reach for the Prozac.     The purpose of your life is to find the purpose of your life. It doesn't matter how fast you get there if you're heading in the wrong direction.     If at first you don't succeed, you're doing something stupid.     You're nobody until somebody hates you.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     To get where you need to go you must first see who you really are.     Be a warrior, not a worrier.     Be a winner, not a whiner.     If the coyote had stopped to catch his breath, he might have caught the roadrunner.     A pack of puppies led by a pitbull will always be feared more than a pack of pitbulls led by a puppy.     Brainpower is as important as horsepower. Read, read, read!     You should always pick a job for its passion value not cash-in value.     Don't let a blame preoccupation ruin your occupation.     It's always better to go for longterm greed over short term greed.     A shortcut is often the longest distance between two points.     Time is money...and time wasters are money wasters.     Don't wait to make heaps and heaps of cash to have heaps and heaps of fun.     Every member of the Fortune 500 Club could also be a member of the Misfortune 500 Club.     Money doesn't bring you true happiness...but happiness can bring you true money. If you love what you do, the money will come.     Whatever business you're in you're in the people business.     Fail Faster. Succeed faster.     Behind every successful woman is someone who pissed her off.     Follow the fuscia brick road.   Failure is in many ways like "fullure" - it is always full of lessons to be learned.     Believe in a laughter life.     Don't let your convictions become your restrictions.     Invest in "Fresh Air Fun." Take a walk outside once a day.     If you want your body to be smoking, you've got to stop smoking.     Sometimes, all you gotta do is ask. Duh.     Taking no action is an action. Duh.     Happiness is not about what happens to you -- but about how you choose to respond to what happens.     Comedy = tragedy + 3 months and/or 3 margaritas!     Practice that tongue twister "NO" today.     Take the fat out of your fate. Slim down your schedule to what matters.     It's not just what you know...but what you do with what you know.     The grass is greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's astroturf.     When you grow - you often outgrow.     The only constant is change.     You are a human being, not a human was or a human will be.     Self honesty is the only path to happiness.     Sometimes we're "mad at" someone whom we should merely be "sad at."     Be so proactive you're preactive.     Fast doesn't always last.     Love is a boomerang. What have you and give away is what you get back.     Fear of commitment: it could happen to you...or someone you can't love.     Saying difficult things now is better than fixing even more difficult problems later.     It is better to have loved and lost - than to live with a psycho for the rest of your life.     It is better to have loved and lost - and had some really amazing hot sex - than never to have lived and loved at all.     A man is not a project. A man is a man. And a project is a project.     It's better to have a short bad relationship than a long bad relationship.     It's worth it to hold out for a soul mate and not settle for a cellmate.     Assess breeds success.     Turn all bad experiences into good inperiences - take them in fully, and change in a positive way.

LIFE TIP: Dump bad patterns
for good in 2005!


Do you find yourself doing the same bad habits over and over? If so isn’t it time you said…enough, dammit! ESPECIALLY SINCE IT’S A NEW YEAR COMING UP! How? First you have to become aware of negative childhood brainwashing...or what I call BRAINDIRTYING BECAUSE YOUR LENS TO THE WORLD GETS DIRTIED WITH NEGATIVE BELIEFS THAT YOU MUST WIPE CLEAN BEFORE YOU CAN SEE CLEARLY HOW YOU CAN GET THE LIFE YOU WANT! Second, you must understand another reason why bad habits form, a theory a la Carl Jung, who believes that our lives need meaning and purpose, and if we dont have meaning/purpose we get an addiction/bad habit instead...so we can create drama/conflict...AND THEN THEREBY BELIEVE OUR LIVES HAVE EXCITEMENT/IMPORTANCE. Addictions/bad habits according to Carl Jung are "LOW LEVEL SPIRITUAL QUESTS." The good news: You can dump bad habits/addictions by developing a HIGH LEVEL DREAM QUEST...a driving force that drives you forward with excitement..so your brain has something new to obsess about in swap for that bad habit/addiction you're now about to dump! ALSO...besides swapping a low level spiritual quest for a high level Dream Quest...you need to swap some other beliefs/negative patterns. FOR EXAMPLE: You need to swap a negative/closed mind for a positive/open mind and seek alternate meaning for past pain, failure, scarcity. You need to swap blame for self-responsibility. You need to swap doubt for faith. You need to swap apathy/laziness for enthusiastic discipline that you are gonna snag everything you dream about snagging! FINALLY: YOU GOT START SAYING "ENOUGH DAMMIT" everytime you feel tempted to pursue that bad habit/addiction. INDEED: Make ENOUGH DAMMIT your new mantra for 2005!
