  • TAKING AN EMOTIONAL RISK

                Our last blog was about your emotional ROI, or Return on Investment.  You will remember that it was focused on what kind of returns we are getting from our emotions: positive/profitable or negative/loss.  I hope that you have taken the time necessary to think this through.  There is no doubt that you are going…

  • EMOTIONAL WEALTH

    I have often said to clients that each person has a limited amount of emotional ability at any given time. It’s sort of like a bank account from which we get money to spend, which depletes what we have available to us, until we are able to replenish the funds. It is healthy to look…

I find that there is a wealth of information for men from the Book of Proverbs as Solomon gives these statements of teaching…

  • KNOWLEDGE OR ACQUAINTANCE

    In the last post that I wrote I mentioned that I had a dream to write a book. (Note the link below.) Now that dream has come to fruition and I am a long way into my next writing project. One of the things that I find so very useful as I write is to…

  • I HAD A DREAM

    Have you ever had a dream of accomplishing something unusual? Maybe something that was bigger than seemed possible, yet you looked forward to trying to get it done. What has been your dream? For some it might be getting that “dream job” which they think will make them happy and successful. For others it might…
