Blaming your lack of blissful happiness on anyone but yourself is a crutch - period. This habit that human beings have of allowing people or circumstances to dictate the level of happiness in their lives boils down to nothing more noble than sheer laziness. We always want to look at every situation like we did everything 100% perfectly, and if the situation did not turn out 100% perfectly, there most certainly must be someone else to blame for that.

Doing it Differently Blog Carnival
One of my goals with the Today is that Day website and blog is to help people to realize that success IS something that every single person can attain!

In order to put an end to the constant recirculation of the same data over and over again, I have decided to start a new blog … [Read more...] about Doing it Differently Blog Carnival

If you define success as the attainment of a given goal, whether that goal is personal or professional, understanding the effective success strategies … [Read more...] about The 4 Hidden Secret Steps to Starting or Maintaining a Successful Business
The Site Redesign is Done!
Well, it took me longer than expected, but I'm proud to say that the snazzy new design that you are looking at is finally complete! Since I just finished it at 2:00am here on the east coast of the U.S., I didn't have time to beat the crap out of it to make 100% sure that everything is absolutely perfect, but I'm pretty sure that I worked out all of the kinks. Edward over at Evolving Times was kind enough to let me know that there is a small glitch with the search functionality, and I did look … [Read more...] about The Site Redesign is Done!
