There are two ways to look at most problems... 'Oh Crap!' or, 'Good Information!,' and our choice will give us good information on how to deal with problems in the future.

Realistic optimism allows us to experience the best until we have to deal with the worst ... which often, never comes.

Never define people or situations in terms of their effect on you, unless you want to give them the power to make you feel that way.

When we engage people positively, we create a receptive platform for the ideas and information we wish to communicate.

Worry, shame, and fear can't be the energy with which we deal with food and weight. It only spurs us to eat more food and produce more glucose/sugar which gets stored as fat.

When people feel criticized, they almost always defend the behavior you want them to change.

When 'Being Rushed' is the problem . . . Rushing is never the solution.
