Here are my best resources to help you bring your best self to your career...every day.
I love this idea of the Serendipity of Success, that the universe transpires to help you just at the exact moment you need it, bringing you a person or a resource you weren't expecting that moves you closer to a goal or toward something you were trying to accomplish.
Believing in Karma is like learning the Golden Rule. It's just what we learn as kids, it's considered truth and we're not to question it, we're just to abide by it. Period, end of story.
Yes, this is all well and good. I leave a good portion of my life up to Karma. (I know for a 100% fact that a couple of very bad things have happened to me as a result of bad Karma juju I emitted to the world). Mostly, though, I believe in the Karma of kindness.

How has burnout become such a familiar state?
This much obsessing over short-term goals can lead to tunnel vision that ultimately can steer you off course. That spells disaster if you’re trying to knock out a big goal or like me, launching a business.
I haven't perfected this struggle by any means, but here's a few things I'm trying to avoid tunnel vision.
In honor of 4th of July, I thought a post on bravery was appropriate. Most of us don't know, nor will every know, the level of courage required to be in the military. But that's not to say each of us isn't fighting a tiny personal battle each day.
