For any of you Star Trek fans out there, you will undoubtedly agree that the writers for all of the different Star Trek television shows as well as the movies had their thumb as much on the pulse of humanity as they did on the joys of science fiction. The trials and tribulations of the many different characters in the Star Trek universe certainly had the space-faring, phaser-blasting aspects that people enjoyed, but they also kept the general "message" of many of the shows and movies to be one … [Read more...] about Everybody's been the dog…

One of the biggest problems with our society’s attempts at evolving and finding true, measurable success and progress is that people are under the very mistaken impression that as humans we have some set of universal “rules” to live by.

If you've ever heard of Seth Godin, then you know that he tends to lean so far towards "out of the box" thinking that he is actually not even IN the box anymore, and I can't think of high enough praise for that type of behavior! In fact, I think so highly of it that I've come up with some ideas on this that will help you in your self improvement and self development efforts, and big props go to Mr. Godin for his continual efforts at educating all of us on these much needed concepts. I was … [Read more...] about FREAKS! Sometimes they make all the difference…

The title of this post is actually a quote from Mike Dooley of ‘Tut’s Adventure Club‘, a fun-loving group of people who see life as a grand adventure, and one that can be made infinitely more enjoyable by learning to control the power of our thoughts. Mike Dooley is one of the many teachers who was featured in the movie ‘The Secret‘, and his club is a recommended stop on your journey to happiness and prosperity using concepts such as positive thinking and the Law of Attraction.
