lgautz — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:51:34 -0500

In the workshops I do, whether we are discussing a life well-lived, a job well-done, a great relationship, a corporate culture, or a well-executed strategy, when we ask what is the essence of what we truly want, the answer is always happiness. Corporate leaders, blue collar workers, moms and dads, sixth graders, teens, seniors, spiritual advisors all want to be happy. “The pursuit of happiness,” is listed in the United States Declaration of Independence among the unalienable and sovereign rights of man. The Dalai Lama teaches that the purpose of life is happiness.

lgautz — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 12:37:38 -0500

You may have heard it said, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will get you there.” The results we achieve – bad, good, or significant – depend on what we focus on in each moment. Focusing our time, energy or money on the wrong things in these challenging times is something we can’t afford to do. Do you know what you are focused on in each moment?

Volume 9: Powerful Thoughts VS. Positive Thoughts (and Why Affirmations Don't Work)

lgautz — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 13:36:23 -0500

I often hear, I try thinking happy, positive thoughts, and it’s just not working. Many folks say, Positive affirmations don’t work. Remember the Stuart Smalley character on Saturday Night Live who made positive affirmations in the mirror? I do NOT want to be THAT guy! Then there are those who say that positive thinking does work and swear by the use of positive affirmations. Guess what – everyone’s right! A positive thought may or may not work. Powerful thoughts, on the other hand, do work. This Forward Thinking Gentle Reminder discusses the difference between a positive thought and a powerful thought, how to know if a thought is powerful, and some powerful thoughts we can choose to think.

Watch the video version of this reminder

Mark Twain said, "Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual."

Often, it seems no matter how motivated we are by our resolutions, we go back to the way we were. For many of us, this happens year after year and some of us have gotten to the point where we don't even bother to make resolutions. We say life happens, we don’t have will power, or we lack discipline. Thankfully, these are NOT the reasons our resolutions don’t work. They don’t work because they are not inspired. This gentle reminder offers some guidance to help you reformulate your resolutions in order to keep them and achieve long-lasting success.

Perhaps you feel sad and alone at the holidays, or maybe you often get sick or worry about money. There’s a reason that we have the same experiences over and over again, and with a little self-awareness, a little self-mastery and a little being-on-purpose, we can break those patterns.

Volume 4: Thinking Powerfully

admin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:30:35 -0500

I have received a number of questions on how to resolve a conflict between positive thinking and thinking about what could go wrong.

On the other hand, during difficult economic times, I feel it is my responsibility to worry about what can go wrong and make sure we take protective measures.
