The other day, I had to visit the California DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) to update my driver’s license. Even though I set an appointment months ago, I was concerned I’d have to wait for hours. The DMV has been in the news quite a bit lately. The paper has run a number of features and editorials about the radically…
The physical you that you know so well is just a tiny portion of the whole you. The physical you is driven mostly by your ego to deal with the day-to-day tasks of living in the world. When we say You Can Choose, we don’t mean just the you that you point to, but the whole you. Let’s call this…

The other day, we were talking about the power of our beliefs and someone mentioned they’ve found tremendous power in changing their beliefs by imagining they are someone else.

Beliefs influence everything in our lives, from how we interpret people and events to our ability to manipulate the world. Our set of beliefs is like a handbook. Google’s definition of a handbook is “a book giving information such as facts on a particular subject…
Why does life seem to be so hard? Why must it be so challenging? We ask questions like these, but we usually ask them when times are most difficult. We rarely ask when we are in the flow and times are good. Beth and I have found it helpful to look back at challenging times. That’s how we’ve come to…
I was raised to not shine too brightly. It was a combination of not wanting to call attention to myself and afraid of appearing superior. I was taught to be humble.
