AN UNLIKELY TOOL TO GET YOU THROUGH TODAY’S TUMULTUOUS TIMES

“The text has disappeared under the interpretation.” – Friedrich Nietzsche This quote is a great reminder – what is happening today has all sorts of “interpretations” about the events. Each person, each side, each movement, has its own interpretation of the “event.” The “event” can be a pandemic, protests, political rallies, etc. If we want to look at the “event” itself, we are not honestly in a position to have a real interpretation if we were not there. So, the “event” takes on a meaning which people have assigned to it that represents a bigger movement. In essence, the “event” has …

Charles Darwin wrote this way back in the 1800’s:“It is not the strongest of the species that survives,not the most intelligent that survives.It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” We are going through a tremendous period of change right now.

Why? Because our Ego Function, the part of our mind whose job it is to keep us safe and …

Tinder was never my “thing” – the profiles are too short and people have the attention span of a flea. But when I heard that my …

DITCH YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION AND DO THIS INSTEAD

It’s that time of year when people start to take stock of what they accomplished throughout the past year. Upon reflecting on the year, many realize that they didn’t achieve their goals and dreams for yet ANOTHER year. So, what happens? People will make the same or very similar New Year’s Resolutions year after year – which NEVER come to fruition. What is a New Year’s Resolution anyway? According to the Cambridge Dictionary it is a promise that you make to yourself to start doing something good or stop doing something bad on the first day of the year. And that usually lasts, how long? A week, a month, tops? …

I Volunteered at Ground Zero—Now My Office is Moving to the World Trade Center

Several months ago, my company had a Town Hall announcement about where our offices will be moving. Rumors had been flying around for months, with much speculation. I wasn’t really that concerned. However, when our CEO announced that our new office space would preside at the World Trade Center in New York City, my head started uncontrollably shaking “no, no, no, no, no, no”—I was aware it was doing this, yet I couldn’t seem to stop it from moving.  After the announcement, we all headed back upstairs to our desks, and the floor was buzzing with everyone’s chatter around the …
