Profanity is usually expressed in 4lws. The F and S 4lws are used as verbs, nouns, adverbs and adjectives. They are multi-purpose words, and probably the most...

Am I the lead actress in my lifes film or do I train and condition myself to be the ever-faithful understudy? How many of us are willing to stand centre stage and show the world...

Emotional Mastery: The Key to Motivation
Published:03/03/2011 03:07pm
Motivation is a big challenge for many people and it is so important to achieving goals. Many of my clients have asked me why it is so hard to stay motivated, and my reply is always, that we forget the WHY of our goals.
