A State of Mind
Called Time
What we're going to talk about has nothing to do with time management in the

and think about time.

find time. It doesn't work that way.
Are You Running Your
Life or is it Running You? How are you spending your time and energy?
There has been a great deal written on the concept of time
management. The simple fact is that each of us has the same 24
hours a day. We cannot create more time. What we can do is manage
our energy and our thoughts to change how we experience time and
make considered choices on how we are spending our time.

It is Your Life
You decide what you're going to do with it. If you don't run your
own life, someone else will.
Beware of Garbage
Trucks
How often do you let other people's nonsense change your mood? Do you let

on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly she
can get back her focus on what's important.
The Power of
Appreciation

anxieties.
